Find Your Ride at the 5 Best Bicycle Shops in Johor Bahru [Revealed!]
One major thing I don’t like about living in Johor Bahru is the heavy traffic, and it’s getting worse by the minute. This is why it didn’t take long for me to decide (also thanks to the encouragement of my colleagues) that a reliable bicycle should be my next investment, and it hasn’t disappointed me since!
Getting a bicycle is one of the best decisions I’ve made, as JB features designated cycling routes and even car-free days throughout the year. I’ve avoided more traffic jams than I can remember!
If you want to experience the same life hack or you’re simply looking for a new hobby, we’ve got you covered! For this article, our team dropped by our favorite bicycle shops in Johor Bahru that you can count on for your ride!
What is the average cost of bicycles in Johor Bahru?
Bicycles cost anywhere from RM100 to RM15,000 or even more, depending on the type, whether it’s a basic or an electric model.

Khass Bicycles offers an impressive collection of models, ranging from mountain bikes to road bikes, BMXs, hybrids, and even electric bikes! Furthermore, you can browse their selection based on aspects like wheel size and type of frame (alloy or steel).
The store is also well-organised so you won’t have trouble browsing their shelves, as everything is placed where it should be. Moreover, their friendly staff members are always eager to help and point you toward what you need.
Khass Bicycles also offers a wide variety of biking essentials like helmets, gloves, and eyewear. We were impressed to see their jersey selection, as they come in different designs and colours.
Another thing we appreciate is they offer maintenance and fitting services that are done exceptionally well by their mechanics. However, their service rates are more expensive than we’d like.
Provided exceptional service from start to finish
“Absolutely thrilled with my recent purchase of the Gusto Cobra Evo from Khass Bicycles! Austin and his team provided exceptional service from start to finish. They were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping me.
The entire process was smooth, and I appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend Khass Bicycles to anyone in the market for a new bike! Thank you, Austin and team!”

2. SSR Cyclist Centre
Products: Road bikes, mountain bikes, folding bikes, parts and components
Location: 27, Jalan Bakawali 50, Taman Johor Jaya
Contact: +60 17-732 7784
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 PM to 5:00 PM
SSR Cyclist Centre is a great store for all cyclists, but even more so if you’re a beginner. Their staff members are friendly and helpful, so you’re in good hands when you’re selecting a bike that’ll suit your needs and preferences.
We couldn’t help but be amazed at their accurate recommendations when we chanced upon them helping out a newbie cyclist. One simple conversation was all it took to offer him the best options.
The store is also great for experienced cyclists because of the wide range of tools and accessories, from simple Allen wrenches to mudguards, water bottles, etc. The same variety can be said about the type of bikes they offer, as they carry mountain bikes, road bikes, and folding bikes.
We just can’t help but feel disappointed because of the limited models to choose from each category. Nonetheless, we’re confident that each bike they carry is high-quality, and this sentiment has been frequently echoed by their loyal customers.
You will never be disappointed with this shop
“I can assure you will never be disappointed with this shop. Great customer service. They help me choose the best bike that suits my needs. They have a variety of accessories and bikes to choose from. Recommended!”
– Fauzi Talib, Google Review
Service was very friendly and excellent
“The service was very friendly and excellent. I went in for a tyre change, and they also checked other parts of the bicycle for free, recommending any necessary replacements. They don’t push you to replace parts that are still usable. Highly recommended.“

3. DR BIKES GPS BOBBIE MOTORS
Products: Kids’ scooters and tricycles, BMXs, road bikes, mountain bikes
Location: 32, Jalan Bukit Kempas 1/18
Contact: +60 14-771 0007
Business hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM
- Sunday: 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM
Dr Bikes GPS is one of the best options if you’re on a tight budget because they offer high-quality bicycles at reasonable rates. Their models range from mountain bikes to road bikes, BMXs, and kid bikes.
Their selection of scooters also stood out to us, as it was unusual to find them in a store like this. Nonetheless, it was recommended to us when we were looking for something different than your typical BMX for street riding.
We also appreciate the fantastic service they offer their customers. For instance, we felt like their staff members pay close attention to their customers, as they’re always able to recommend the best option based on their conversation.
Our only gripe is their lack of an official online store, which could make shopping and browsing much more convenient. However, we appreciate their regular posts on their Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok pages to keep customers updated on their stocks.
The seller was very nice
“I went to Kempas to buy a mountain bike, the seller was very nice to explain everything, and I came home with a new bike and some knowledge, I really recommend it if you want to buy a bike with a reasonable price and loads of variety to choose from”
– Siddarth, Google Review
Highly recommend this shop
“If you’re looking for an affordable and reliable bike shop, this is definitely the place. The lady boss recommended a bike to us based on the pros and cons and our requirements.
We truly appreciate their help, and we got a high-quality, valuable bicycle for our kids. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to buy a bicycle in JB.“

4. Cyclelogy Johor Bahru
Products: Mountain bikes, electric bikes, road bikes, apparel, accessories, parts and components
Location: 157, Jln Beringin, Taman Melodies
Contact: +60 7-332 5461
Business hours: Tuesday to Sunday: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Cyclelogy Johor Bahru is one of the most well-known bike shops in the country, featuring branches in Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, and Selangor.
It’s one of the few places that feels like it caters to bike enthusiasts as opposed to just being a plain bicycle store. It features a cool theme and has created a sense of community with its customers due to their common love for the hobby.
Furthermore, I’m impressed by the quality of their bikes. They offer both mountain and road bikes from different big-name brands, and all their parts feel premium, from the frame to the handlebars, wheels, etc.
We’re not just big fans of the price range of their bikes, which tends to lean into pricier options.
Worth the visit!
“Friendly staff and store is spacious and comfortable to shop around. Worth the visit!”
– Ezann Cheung, Google Review
Professional and good bicycle maintenance services
“They provide very professional and good bicycle maintenance services. The staff members are friendly to every visitor, and the shop sells some good quality bicycle accessories and wears suits.
If you want to look for a trustful overhaul service for your bike, here is the place you may consider.“

5. KSH Bicycle @ Champion Bike Trading
Products: Complete bikes, folding bikes, kids’ bikes, accessories
Location: 20, Jalan Perjiranan 2
Contact: +60 16-953 1143
Business hours: Monday to Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM
My first impression of KSH Bicycle was that it was a premium bicycle store because of how fancy it looked and how neatly each bike was racked. Fortunately, their staff members were courteous enough to make me feel welcome even though I was just there to browse.
However, we were surprised to find that most of their products are priced reasonably. Of course, there are always those models for enthusiasts, but beginners will definitely approve of the affordable, entry-level captions.
What’s even more impressive is the variety of their selection, as their models range from folding bikes to kids’ bikes and more.
However, we noticed some inconsistencies regarding their customer service. While we’ve only experienced good things here, we’ve heard some complaints from other customers who said that they weren’t accommodated well during their visit to KSH Bicycle.
Customer service is fantastic
“Just restarted a hobby back into cycling. Definitely a one-stop-center to get myself sorted on equipment, parts and all. You get almost everything you need. Pricing is reasonable, and customer service is fantastic. Highly recommended and will definitely return!”
– Ika Idid, Google Review
The price was reasonable, and the service was good
“I went to the shop this afternoon, and he replaced the tyres of my children’s bicycles. It was a pretty good experience where the staff was pretty friendly, although he wasn’t the chatty box type…you know what I mean.
The price was reasonable, and the service was good. I’d recommend this shop rather than another shop in Setia Indah owned by husband and wife.“
