1: Helmet
~It won't tell when will you fall off. So get a decent helmet. You dont have to spend big bucks on it. Just make sure it fit u secure and snug and the adjustment straps allow you to prevent the helmet from shifting back and forth on your head. Expect around RM80 above. More money buy branded helmet and less weight also mo ventilation, but doesn't necessarily more portection.


2: Decent Shorts
~Well shorts or tights with padding can add more comfort to you ride. Making your ride comfort and more fun riding. Comes with many different type: baggy, tights, 3/4 etc. Expect to pay RM 80 above

3: A basic tool kit
~As you venture more than a walk from home, remember!!! always carry with you bike-friendly multi-tool, plus inner tube, a patch kit and pump. The day you don't take it is the day you break down. RM 50-80 is well money spend

4: Proper MTB Shoes
~Yes, you can ride in sneakers, but you''ll feel better in stiff soled MTB shoes - or sticky soled shoes if you prefer flat pedals. Special Clip-in (cleated) pedals and shoes will set you back at least RM 200, but you'll be amazed at how much more efficiently they enable you to pedal



5: Clothing
~Anything that can keep you off the sweat. Most of cycling clothing have pocket on the back where you can put inside your tubes, power bar (power stick) etc... price of cycling jersey start from RM 80 and above





6: Protective Clothing

7: Water bottle or Hydration Rucksack
~As rides get longer, you'll need to drinks. A bottle in a cage on the bike will do the job. But in you do some epic ride, there is hydration bag pack, when you can fill up your water and also some kits like cellphone, tubes, energy bars, camera, tools price of this bag pack are around RM120 above
