Exclusive ACCESS
Access to those who’ve lived the ride
Every great experience is built on the strength of its people. At MTB deTour, we’ve brought together a network of professionals and partners who share the same dedication to quality, care, and authenticity that drives everything we do.
This circle includes some of the sport’s most respected names — world-class riders, performance experts, and industry leaders who have competed, created, and coached at the highest level. Their knowledge, humility, and passion are what set our experiences apart.
But this isn’t about status — it’s about access. Access to the right people, in the right places — those who elevate each moment through their experience, insight, and genuine connection.
These collaborations shape every detail of what we deliver: the guidance you receive, the trails you explore, the meals you share, and the memories you take home. It’s through this collective of expertise and spirit that every MTB deTour experience becomes something truly extraordinary.

Mechanics
Precision that lets you flow. Our mechanics bring the same care and expertise trusted by professional teams — every adjustment and every service, carried out with quiet confidence and obsessive attention to detail.
Cuisine
Fuel becomes an experience in itself. Our chefs craft meals that honour local ingredients and recovery-focused nutrition — simple, satisfying, and perfectly timed to the rhythm of the day’s ride.
Storytelling
Every adventure deserves to be remembered well. Our photographers and filmmakers capture the emotion, grit, and grace of the ride — preserving the spirit of the journey long after the dust has settled.
