Sur-Ron Light Bee X
Light & Easy
55 kg, easy to handle, forgiving on mistakes. The bike most beginners start on. Good for forest trails and learning the basics.

If the standard Ili River ride is a cruise, this one makes you work. The route follows the rocky right bank where the terrain gets technical - singletrack trails winding along cliff edges above the deep water. You pass an MCHS (emergency rescue) training base with its odd structures. The trail eventually reaches the Tamgaly-Tas painted rocks. The distance means you need bikes with large batteries and you need to manage your throttle. Not a route for your first ride, but a solid step up from the light Ili tour.
Transfer from Almaty to the route and back is included. We confirm the meeting point before departure.
Helmet, balaclava, body armor with arm protection, knee pads (worn over your pants), jersey, and gloves.
Water, a windbreaker or jacket (depending on the weather), durable pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.
Every fleet bike can be chosen for this tour. The manager confirms availability for your date.

"The Ili River route via the rescue station is wild and remote. River crossings add extra thrill. Definitely intermediate level!"
Кирилл В."Great off-road riding along the river. Sandy sections are challenging but fun. The scenery changes constantly - desert, river, cliffs."
Диана Ж.
Same start as Kok-Zhailau, but instead of turning back, you keep climbing. Rocky trail to 2,500m with views down onto Shymbulak and Medeu that most people never see.

Up through the forest to Kok-Zhailau, back along the razor-thin mountain ridge. Drops on both sides. Requires steady nerves and good balance.

12-million-year-old canyon. You ride down into it on red sand, through rock towers carved by wind, to the Charyn River at the bottom. At sunset the cliffs glow.
