Phoenix Motorcycle TrainingReviews 

This review is for the Trail riding course at Foots Cray training facility. Four of us on Fantic XEF 250 bikes, all with varied experience, I had the least, having got my licence 2 years ago I have only ridden twice since, greenlaning with another firm in Surrey. The first hour was spent getting to know the bikes, riding around the purpose built offroad course tucked away from the well laid out CBT and DAS training area. This comprised tight wooded paths, a rut and a mound with a stepped riser we had to negotiate uphill then down. After that we had a good six hours or so on Kent byways, linked with some quiet country roads. The trainers split us into two groups matching our abilities and throughout the day corrected our posture on the bikes, gave advice on how to handle what was coming next and made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing. The trails were a mix of dry forest trails, undulating whoops, loose pebbly uphills and downhills and crossing a ford. Lunch was provided and at the end we did a lap of the course back at base, which was now an absolute doddle.
Weather conditions were quite hot so i swapped my mesh armoured jacked for theirs with wider mesh and more armour. I also used their gloves as my all leather road ones don't give enough feel, and wore one of their adventure helmets with separate goggles. The one item I was very glad of was my mountainbiking Camelbak with a couple of litres of water - absolutely essential.
All told a great day out, the instructors John and Steve kept it safe and fun and the fact we had instruction not just guiding helped to iron out any bad habits.
Highly recommended.

Great instructor Sam
Very helpful

The patience and encouragement from the instructors is just what I needed, I arrived feeling nervous and overwhelmed having never ridden a geared bike. But with the skill and enthusiasm of the instructors was taught to ride and passed CBT. I feel confident with the first step to being a safe rider and will definitely use Phoenix’s training to move forward to larger bikes in the future.

From start to finish, everyone was polite, friendly, knowledgeable, so helpful and really professional, especially my instructors Greg and John. The course was well structured and presented, keeping me engaged and learning without an information overload. I had 30 minutes experience before the course, I am now hooked.

Great people and good fun.

I had an amazing experience although I had to repeat it a second time due to me failing on the road ride they gave me clear instructions and very easy as I had never rode a bike before and still nearly passed on my first day

Good coaching , very friendly . Instructor andrew was amazing .

Great environment and teaching methods

Staff was great, spent good time teaching me the skills to learn for a first time. Encouraged me during challenging times and kept the group safe at all times. I would highly recommend for those new to riding a motorbike to come here to learn even its its out of the way. Worth travelling down.

Had a brilliant day very thorough and directions easy to understand was talked through everything till felt really comfortable thankyou Ben

Lesson was easy to follow and Ben was very helpful.

Brilliant teaching methods, good location, bikes are very well maintained. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. I used initially for my CBT. I stayed on the 125 for 14 months then went back for the big bike taster. After that I done my DAS through Phoenix. It was very easy to book everything was clear and easy. A massive shout out to Julian, amazing instructor and a credit to the company.

Its all about the instructor, Ben was awesome, patient, and very thorough. You can see and hear he is passionate about bikes. Extremely friendly too...if you're going to learn come here.

Great communication, very patient, very friendly - all round a great experience.

Great experience easy going and professional.

Completed a basic off ride traing course at the ABR motorcycle festival. Training was excellent with really good trainers and bikes.

I did a Try Ride and a pre-CBT before my actual CBT, all with Phoenix. These courses really helped and gave me great confidence. Liam and David were both really supportive and they never made me feel stupid! I would highly recommend Phoenix to anyone.
