The machine-built trail is our vision of a playful, creative and beginner-friendly trail that has become reality. A trail that is even more fun with every run and where you can always discover new features. It can be ridden with little mountain bike experience, but also offers the opportunity to approach the next level of difficulty ride by ride. The experienced and creative eye will soon find additional lines, hidden jumps, jumpable waves and many other fun features such as small drops, side hits, small jumps and short technical sections. Beginners can improve their skills on various level-appropriate trail features ride by ride. This turns the Forest Bump into a progressive playground and is far more than just a conventional flow trail!
