Very fun trail, very bumpy middle section but we had a lot of fun
barnar
Great natural single track with technical challenges jumps and drops. That ends with some trail features like berm'd turns and wooden jumps. Great work builders!
Oliverhilmarsson
Awsome trail, especially the last 2 km with steep technical sections
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
