Malaysia has both road and off-road biking routes.

There are many cycle-friendly road routes around Malaysia, where traffic is less heavy on the rural roads and the views stupendous. Around Kuala Lumpur, these routes are the old Gombak Road, Ulu Yam interior routes and to the south, the Ulu Langat interior via Cheras or Ampang. Beyond Kuala Lumpur there are the rolling hill roads around Seri Menanti and Kuala Pilah in Negeri Sembilan,as well as numerous East Coast routes with Sungai Lembing as an accessible site from Kuantan city.

As for Sabah and Sarawak, most rural road areas are scenic and near untouched, providing ideal routes for adventure biking. But for the hardened enthusiasts, it's the challenging off-road sites that count. In Kuala Lumpur, the 'urban legend' route is the Bukit Kiara jungle trail for its accessibility and easy opportunity of meeting friendly fellow aficionados.

Around Kuala Lumpur, there are the Batu Dam, Kampung Pusu and the Hulu Gombak Forest Reserve with its water catchment areas.

Further afield, there is the popular Sungai Dua site near Karak in Pahang. This is a strenuous 40 km trail that reaches into the Lentang Forest Reserve. As in many routes in Malaysia, this trail leads to a nice river or even waterfall - in this case the impressive 30m-high Kerau waterfall located at its end. As with this site, a notable feature of most of these rainforest sites is the numerous stream crossings.
