Equipment

A safe and functional mountain bike is essential for all routes. Helmet and gloves protect in falls and can be supplemented by knee and elbow protectors on single/shared trails. A modern mountain bike with disc brakes and sufficient tire tread is recommended. For single and shared trails from the red difficulty level, a full-suspension bike with modern geometry is recommended. Tools, tire levers, pump and spare tube help in case of a breakdown. Carry enough supplies (drinks and food) as well as a mobile phone and wind/rain jacket.

Safety information

Before every ride check the functionality of brakes, tires, and suspension fork/damper. Always ride with hazard awareness and controlled speed and adapt the route choice to the riding skills of the group and the surface. The Fair Play rules must always be observed. Single/shared trails as well as built trails in trail parks and trail centers often have stones, roots, steep sections, steps, and sharp bends that require certain riding skills. When in doubt, simply dismount and push the bike.
