I were lucky to be there when they have the yearly Doi Inthanon Challenge, which is a bike event for this exact climb. If you go for a fast time you can with little effort push on the short downhill sections in the first part and gain momentum for the short ramps right after. I would actually question the elevation shown for this climb, as my garmin kept saying +12％ for lots of the last half part, so very low gears will help.

I had rented a bike in Chiang Mai but not with very low gears, so for what feels like 2 hours in all I had to stand up and push forward going 5 km/h on the steep ramps.
The climb is up to the highest mountain in Thailand, so of course I can recommend it.
The government doesnt allow you to bike down from the top because its so steep and to perhaps around the last national park gate/entry (bring cash to buy entry ticket), so they have vehicles to take you and the bike down, which were well organized on the race day (no clue how it is on a normal day).
