Trail Definition:

The Off Beat Downhill is some sort of prominent location, hosting World Cups from 2002 - 2014, therefore the World Championships in 2007.

Fast, rough and rugged is the greatest description of program, at 2.82km lengthy with a straight fall of 525 metres, it's very lengthy and physical. Good riders simply take 4-5 minutes, though many skilled riders can ride the course in their own time, as it's perhaps not also technical. Speed together with real discipline associated with the course is the reason why it a fun, challenging run.

From the start, the program traverses over the side of the mountain over some boardwalk areas and is quickly with some berms, before losing down a series of stone falls and coach stops designed to slow cyclists down. From right here it gets steeper and rougher, coming quickly into several smooth berms, broken up with stone gardens and stone pieces.

Getting quicker and rougher again, this course falls down rollable rock actions that quickly bikers can clear. To the woods, this course gets more twisty and all-natural, with a few surprises thrown in - look out for the two wall trips and the 'Hazzard Hoofer' lake space. The program after that slowly flattens aside for a quick length. The last stretch, understand given that motorway is quite fast, with big step lows and gap jumps, before falling along the 'Off overcome Wall' to complete over the triple.
