Pro tip
Bike prep and gear for MTB trails
Before black and advanced MTB trails, check your brakes and tire pressure. The terrain at Bike Park Evolution is varied, and slightly lower pressure gives better grip on roots and rocks. A helmet is mandatory on all trails; for black and advanced trails we recommend a full-face helmet, knee and elbow pads and a back protector.
