HANOI – SOC SON ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS

Unleash Your Adventure: Effortless Climbing, Thrilling Descents

Just an hour's drive from the bustling streets of Hanoi lies a hidden sanctuary of towering pine forests, misty ridgelines, and crystalline lakes. Often referred to as the "Dalat of the North," Soc Son offers the perfect rugged playground for those looking to swap exhaust fumes for the scent of pine needles.

This tour isn't just a bike ride; it's a high-tech exploration. By utilizing premium Electric Mountain Bikes (e-MTB), we strip away the grueling physical exhaustion of traditional climbing and replace it with pure adrenaline and flow. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or a curious adventurer, our e-bikes empower you to conquer steep terrain that was once reserved for professional athletes, all while leaving a zero-carbon footprint in this delicate ecosystem.
