I did an MTB ride a few years back near Chestnut Park/Point around the reservoirs which was fun, although I was doing it on a layover so I was fucked; local guy showed me around which helped. I think there's some gravel and MTB on Palau Ubin as well.

The areas you can ride off-road are fairly limited- Chestnut/Rifle Range is one area and it abuts Bukit Timah - they're both within the central nature reserve area. That is linked via the T15 Park Connector to the Mandai military area - which is commonly ridden but is also illegal.
Kent Ridge has the most technical, steepest trails on the main island- which isn't saying a great deal, but they're challenging to ride fast for sure. It's the only place in Singapore I've seen people take actual downhill bikes.
Then you have Tampines quarry - illegal, but very heavily developed by riders with spades. Destined to be flattened and turned into housing in the near-term.
Finally Pulau Ubin, which is again built around an old quarry, and has the longest and fastest descents available in Singapore - and you have to take a bum boat to get there, which is fun.

Nice. Struggled to find any Gravel in Singapore or Penang last week. Eventually found a bit, monitor lizards were a hazard!
