What is required?

Participants are required to have the ability to confidently navigate dirt trails, grassy areas, or gravel conditions using hand brakes and gears effectively. It’s essential to own a mountain bike equipped with gears and hydraulic brakes; we recommend disk brakes for optimal performance. Please note, bikes should not have kick stands or coaster brakes. For a comprehensive rundown of necessary and recommended equipment, we encourage you to consult our FAQ page.
