Minis

  • From Blue 1: Disc brakes highly recommended, from Blue 2: disc brakes compulsory
  • protectors
from Red 1
  • in this offer we recommend a full-suspension all-mountain or enduro bike
  • protectors
Protectors
  • We recommend: Knee and elbow protectors, gloves, helmet, good bike shoes, backpack with spare tube and rain jacket.
Gerenal requirements for mountain bikes
  • Gear shift that works simply and without great effort
  • The size of the bike must be exactly matched to the body size. A bike that is too small or too big makes handling the bike very difficult
  • Good tires with enough profile for driving on trails - brittle tires must be changed
  • A bike service before the bike season is highly recommended

A suitable and well-functioning bike is much more fun!
