About 2Wheel Epix:

2Wheel Epix is not your average mountain bike tour operator. Fueled by our love for adventure and exploration, our journey began with a desire to conquer the untrodden paths of the world on our mountain bikes. But it was the cultural exchange and the people we met that truly made our adventures unforgettable and kept drawing us back. We believe that mountain bikers deserve to experience the best singletrack trails that nature has to offer. And more importantly, we understand how mountain biking can bring additional stimulation and prosperity to the rural communities we visit. Join us on this epic journey of discovery, and ride the trails of the world together!
