Use neutral and ready positions to maintain balance and control on tough terrain for smoother rides on all trail surfaces.
Adjust seat height for climbs and descents to optimize performance, lower your center of gravity, and boost stability.
Focus on your trail ahead to smoothly navigate obstacles like rocks, roots, and logs, while keeping momentum and control.
Apply steady, controlled braking, using front and rear brakes evenly to avoid skidding and maintain control.
Shift early and often to stay in the right gear, maintain momentum on hills, and avoid stressing your bike’s chain and gears.
Respect shared trails: yield to uphill riders, slow down for hikers and horses, and ride only on bike-approved paths.
