Percurso Especial muito técnico, especialmente se o piso estiver molhado. Muitos rockgardens, raízes e alguns saltos com gap. Traquada é um dos percursos mais antigos que ligava a Ribeira da Janela às zonas altas de floresta e que se mantém mais ou menos na sua forma original, adaptado para a prática do BTT. Na ligação à Eira da Achada, onde podem apreciar uma das mais belas vistas da costa norte da Madeira, podemos observar uma pequena secção do antigo caminho real, as mais antigas vias de comunicação que ligavam toda a ilha.
