About the Directory
We built this directory because South African mountain biking deserved better. Riders, coaches, parents, teams, organisers, retailers, and sponsors all struggled to find accurate, up-to-date information in one place. Until now, there was no single, centralised platform where everything connected — from trail maps and local bike shops to accredited coaches, racing calendars, gear suppliers, training academies, medical contacts, and beyond.
This directory was developed to serve the real needs of the MTB community. It saves time, removes guesswork, and helps every role-player — whether you're preparing for your first XCO race, planning a youth program, scouting equipment sponsors, or booking a skills clinic.
Everything is in one place. No fluff. Just verified, relevant, and practical data to help you ride smarter, train harder, plan better, and grow the sport from grassroots to greatness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Smart Directory Solutions, and how does it support the MTB community?
Smart Directory Solutions is a central hub that connects mountain bikers with trusted local service providers across South Africa. From trail builders and bike shops to coaches, tour guides, and events, we bring the entire MTB ecosystem together in one searchable platform—helping grow the sport by making it easier to connect, ride, and support local.
Who can list their business or service in the directory?
Anyone involved in the mountain biking industry can join—coaches, mechanics, race organisers, clubs, retailers, schools with MTB programmes, trail parks, bike shuttle services, content creators, and more. If you support the MTB community, you’re welcome here.
How do I update or manage my business listing?
You’ll get login access to manage your own listing. You can update your contact info, service description, business hours, images, booking links, and more—all from one simple dashboard. Keeping your profile current helps you get discovered.
Is there a cost to be listed, and are there premium options available?
Basic listings are free to help grow the community. We also offer premium plans with extra visibility, featured placement, lead capture tools, analytics, and custom booking integration. Pricing is structured to support both startups and established MTB brands.
Can I list multiple services (e.g. coaching, bike rentals, tours) under one profile?
Yes, you can showcase multiple services under a single profile. We use sub-categories and tags to help users find all the offerings your business provides—whether it’s skills training, rentals, group rides, or retail.
How does the directory help riders find local MTB events, trails, or coaches?
Users can search by location, discipline (e.g. enduro, XC, downhill), service type, or province. You’ll find everything from upcoming races to youth coaching programmes, public trails, and gear retailers—all in one place.
What makes this directory different from platforms like Trailforks or BikeHub?
Trailforks focuses on trail maps. BikeHub is a classifieds and forum site. Smart Directory Solutions focuses on verified business listings, service discovery, local connections, and supporting MTB business growth. It’s designed to promote the people who make riding possible—not just the trails.
Can riders or customers leave reviews or ratings for listed businesses?
Yes. Each business profile includes a reviews section where users can leave verified feedback and star ratings. For premium listings, we also import and display your Google Reviews automatically, helping build social proof and trust with potential clients—without requiring them to review you twice.
Is the directory limited to South Africa or can other regions join?
We’re proudly South African, but businesses from neighbouring regions can apply to be listed—especially if they offer tours, races, or gear shipping into SA. Future expansion into the broader African MTB scene is part of our roadmap.
How does the platform support youth programmes, schools, and development coaches?
We spotlight accredited coaches, school MTB teams, youth clinics, and development organisations. Listings can include certifications, achievements, age group focus, and programme details—making it easy for parents and sponsors to find and support MTB youth pathways.
Can I link my social media, booking system, or website to my listing?
Absolutely. Each listing can include your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and booking page links. This turns your profile into a traffic engine that feeds directly into your funnel or CRM.
How do I report outdated information or incorrect listings?
Listing owners can log in and update their own profiles at any time. If you're not the owner but notice incorrect or outdated information, you can contact us directly at [email protected]. We’ll verify the details and make the necessary corrections promptly.
