RIDING THE GNARLYIEST WORLD CUP TRACK TO DATE ON MY ENDURO BIKE - VAL DI SOLE BIKEPARK

This week we packed the enduro bikes in the car and headed off to the last UCI World Cup Downhill event of the year at Val Di Sole Bikepark, with the famous Black Snake Trail. We didn’t hear any good words about the trail from the riders, saying it was ’too rough’ and ’too many rocks’. We didn’t believe them so we thought we’d check it out for ourselves and report back to you guys at home. Turns out the riders weren’t lying, it’s the roughest and craziest track I’ve ever experience in my 15 year World Cup Downhill career, the Scott Ransom Tuned held up very well with only 180mm of travel on the front and 160mm on the back. I managed to not push down any sections which I was proud of. Got a great week of content lined up for you guys, let us know in the comments what you’d like to see in the future as well.
