Trails that inspire

Around 22 miles and 3,300 feet elevation – a mix of action, nature, and challenge. For this, you need riding technique, fitness, and smart battery management. A GPX file available in advance shows you the way along the trails.

The distance

The riding distances are divided into individual sections – each with its own set of challenges.

You ride a varied mix of uphill and downhill trails, completely blind and with live timing. Skill, power and control are vital. Technical obstacles and tight turns require great skill and are interspersed with fast, flowing sections.

In addition to the five stages in the amateur category, the Pro Series features two especially challenging sections. Technical uphill sections and tricky downhill sections will push you and your eMTB to the limits – requiring full concentration, precise line selection, and maximum control.

On the connecting sections between the stages, you can ride without time pressure. Here, the focus is on the experience of nature and the interaction with the other participants. Navigation is done with the smartphone or eBike display.
