The machine-built trail is our realized vision of a playful, creative, and beginner-friendly trail. A trail that becomes even more fun with every run and where you can always discover new features. It can be ridden with little mountain biking experience but also offers the opportunity to gradually advance to the next difficulty level with every ride. The experienced and creative eye soon discovers additional lines, hidden jumps, jumpable waves, and many other fun features like small drops, side hits, small jumps, and short technical sections. Beginners can improve their skills on various level-appropriate trail features with every ride. This makes the Forest Bump a progressive playground and much more than just a conventional flow trail!
