Fantastic riding, just got back, so thanks for posting, so much fun. A lot of climbing, so glad we were on ebikes, but fair play for pedalling it. Found ourselves on the added black section of Torrent which was hard enough to walk, let alone ride, so I wish we'd turned left! For anyone else's benefit, a new Levo 500w battery just about lasted this route, an old 2018 Levo 500w didn't. Hope you don't mind, but I added 'Killer Enduro Loop near Mollau' to Trailforks. Any trails nearby that are also 'must ride'?
@TrailTrackerSwitzerland 6 күн бұрын
Glad you enjoyed. It is a fabulous loop. No problem adding it to Trailforks. It’s where I pieced the ride together from myself 😉

Feel with you Darren! That’s the reason why I try to sell my RF ERA cranks and bought X0 Transmission Aluminium ones.
@TrailTrackerSwitzerland 7 күн бұрын
I’ve got aluminium ones fitted now. If the budget would stretch, a set of titanium ones would probably be the forever solution though.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland Yes, but my X0’s are pretty good, alternatively the XTR cranks from shimano. The Challenge with Titanium ones is that Q-factor and the right chain ring offset is needed, which can be challenging…

Hi. Did not Get the thing about remove the battery on the second lift? Is it not allowed to bring ebikes in the lifts in lenzerheide?
@TrailTrackerSwitzerland 22 күн бұрын
You can take e-bikes on the lifts in Lenzerheide no problem. The only issue is on the second lift in the Alpenbikepark where the lift is very old and the method for carrying the bikes ivery rudimentary, which is why there is a weight limit that most e-bikes exceed. Hence the need to remove the battery.

Next time you come to Whistler, ride the other outside the park trails after Top of the World- Khyber, Middle of Nowhere, Kashmir & Kush. My husband & I like them a lot more than Million Dollar Trail. Bring lots of water and a snack or two- it’ll take a couple of hours.
