  • Rent a mountain bike during the course, this year’s model and in top condition. You can choose between a mountain bike with front suspension only or one with front and rear suspension, a little more comfortable and safer.

  • Good if you use platform pedals, not “click in” pedals on the course, it is easier to learn the right technique then. You can borrow pedals from us or buy them on site. We will help you switch pedals if you want.
  • Dropper post, it is very good if you have a dropper post on your bike, if you have an older bike it may be better to rent. It is possible to cycle well with all reasonably modern bikes.
