Equipment Guide

Essential Equipment:

  • Your Bike…
  • A high quality helmet (full face recommended for downhillers)
  • Body armour: knees, shins, elbows, torso and spine and padded shorts.
  • A sturdy pair of flat soled shoes or SPD shoes.
  • Spare inner tubes of good quality and a compact pump.
  • A compact multi-tool.
  • Riding jersey
  • Riding shorts with side pockets (for your lift pass).
  • Goggles or sunglasses.
  • Riding gloves.
  • Plenty of spare cash for damages/ drinks.

Recommended Equipment:

  • A spare rear mech (these are easily damaged and are very expensive if bought from any of the resort bike shops).
  • A spare set of brake pads.
  • A Light waterproof.
  • A Camelbak: for those thirsty all day rides and as an alternative way to keep your lift pass secure.

Once you've got all of your gear together, check out our bike packing instructions.
