2nd Gear – No Fear: Off-Road Community in the UAE

At 2nd Gear we live and breathe off-road. Our 2nd Gear – No Fear Race Team lines up for the Abu Dhabi Baja Challenge 2026/27, and at every round our race tent is the meeting point for riders, crews and friends.

Our enduro park in Mleiha is open on request, mostly on weekends, with bike rental and coaching available. Looking for a desert tour? We connect you with trusted local operators. And for 2027 we are planning enduro holidays abroad.

Ride with us, race with us, or just come by the tent. Let’s ride!

Recently had some enduro training there and it was absolutely fantastic. One of the sickest training facilities you could imagine, endless enduro lines, amazing enduro cross track, beautiful scenery and more. I rode on one of their KTM 300 exc and had the best experience ever. Will for sure be going there regularly. Also big ups to craig who was a fantastic trainer, definitely allowed for more confidence when riding.

Wow, what an experience. Seb knows the desert like I’ve never seen before, and riding there was a lot of fun! Everything was well organized, great bikes, great vibe. Highly recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First ride of my life and within two hours I was riding on my own. Seb patiently taught me how to sit, steer, stand and actually ride, with super clear instructions and zero pressure. He adapted everything to my level and made it feel easy and fun. The whole team is super cool, they have everything on site, and the vibe is spot on. If you want to learn how to ride, this is the place. Absolute recommendation 🔥💯

Amazing experience!!! It was my first time learning how to ride and the instructors were super friendly and patient even though I had a million questions! I was nervous to try it before hand, however after a 2h session with the guys I was confident enough to ride by myself! Although stopping was a problem! 🤣 #shortgirlproblems

Best MX experience in the U.A.E. This is not your average tourist attractions where you ride in a figurate of 8. The boyz from 2nd gear have the latest KTM bikes and a whole quarry as their playground. Once done with all the hill climbs, enduro stuff and end up on top of the mountain, they will take you into the desert for an unforgettable afternoon ride. A must do if you are visiting the U.A.E.

Great riding with Seb, Craig, and the crew! Did the Liwa tour with them and must say they are very organized and committed to delivering a great experience for their clients, both on and off the bikes. Smooth lines, fun pace (for novices, intermediate, and faster riders) and most importantly great camaraderie to support you whenever needed. 10/10 would join them again.

Company story

2nd Gear Off Road Adventures was founded in 2024 by a group of passionate riders. We started with tours and training from our own enduro park in the Mleiha quarry – and built a community of riders along the way.

Today we focus on what we love most: racing, community and riding together. Our 2nd Gear – No Fear Race Team competes in the Abu Dhabi Baja Challenge, our park is open on request, and we are planning enduro holidays abroad for 2027. For desert tours we work with trusted local partners.

At 2nd Gear, we don’t just ride – we live the journey.

Meet our team

2nd Gear is run by Marvin and Sebastian – riders first, organisers second.

Marvin Schrickel

Marvin, originally from Germany, brings over 15 years of experience in the tourism industry across multiple countries, including yachting, wakeboarding, surfing, and trail bike training. With five years in the off-road industry and having ridden dirt bikes since the age of 12, his enthusiasm for motorsports is unparalleled. As the founder and director of 2nd Gear UAE, Marvin leverages his extensive expertise to guide the business towards great success.

Sebastian Haywood

Born and raised in South Africa, with a deep-rooted passion for motorsports that has shaped both my career and life. After completing my degree in Business Management, I ventured to Dubai to work for an offroad touring company, which was only meant to be a gap year. Once completed I returned to South Africa, where I briefly pursued a career in corporate financial advisory and insurance, that I gained valuable business experience from. However, I quickly discovered that while the corporate environment offered stability and assurity, it wasn’t where my heart was. My passion for motorsports was too strong to ignore, and I knew I had to make it my full-time career.

This realization led me back to Dubai, where I’ve now spent the last 6 years working in the industry and building my passion into a career. Every day has been a thrill, and I couldn’t be happier to work for a company that offers incredible services to people that share the same passion.
