MTB Champion & Eight-time Turkish XC titleholder
Hi, I am Abdulkadir Kelleci—a lifelong cyclist and competitor at the highest levels of Turkish and international cycling.
Cycling has been my life since I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of winning the Turkish National Mountain Bike Championship seven times, alongside dozens of victories in both road and cross-country events. My career has taken me to the podium at races like the Salcano Cappadocia and the biggest tours across Turkey, including the Tour of Ankara, Mersin, Marmara, and Mesopotamia, as well as competing in the Balkans and UCI international events.
I’ve raced for pro teams such as Arvich Shargh Omidnia and Spor Toto Cycling Team, gaining invaluable experience in both national and global competitions. Whether I’m leading the peloton or helping others discover new trails, my goal is always the same: to share the discipline, endurance, and excitement that cycling has given me.
When you ride with me, you’re not just getting a guide—you’re joining someone passionate about the sport, eager to help you ride stronger, safer, and with more confidence, whether it’s your first hill or your hundredth finish line. Let’s discover new routes and push our limits together!
