What To Expect

This adrenaline-filled tour will take you on a true classic enduro ride and is a chance for you to show off your cross-country skills. Berms, rollers, small jumps, rock rolls and root gardens are some of the technical elements you'll encounter as you ride on wide open and fast trails.You will be accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide who will take you up, down, left and right on the local trail network. After gearing up and doing a quick warm-up, you will do the last bike check and adjustments and you'll be on your way. There are a number of route variations to be done that all circle back to the central hub, and this one climbs an eclectic mix of trails. This is an experience you’ll be bragging about until your next visit!This tour is best suited for Intermediate / Experienced riders who enjoy all-mountain/enduro riding. Most of the trails are recommended for one way riding so you can expect to ride up the main access trail and down single track trails, but there are a few options to keep the climbing interesting. Upon returning back to the base, you will help to hose down the bikes before you have a cool refreshing drink.This trip includes a high-end 2019 full suspension mountain bike from CUBE. It is the perfect bike for existing and aspiring enduro riders alike and the perfect bike for this tour's backcountry terrain. It has a 160mm travel suspension on forks and 150mm on the shock to absorb all the bumps. All bikes have a rear shock with settings for climbing and pedalling trail ride, and are equipped with a 150mm adjustable seat-post with handlebar lever. Small size bikes come with 120mm adjustable seat-post.
