About this tour
Three-day mountain biking course on Elba that builds proper riding mechanics from the ground up. Whether you're new to MTB or self-taught without solid basics, this hands-on programme covers saddle positioning, weight distribution, and tackling rough terrain. Expert instructors with serious MTB credentials guide you through dirt trails, teaching you how to handle your bike with control and confidence.
Highlights
- Fundamentals of saddle position and body mechanics
- Techniques for navigating rocky and technical ground
- One-on-one instruction from experienced MTB riders
- Three days of progressive skill-building on trails
- Helmet and safety gear provided
What to expect
Expect a technical rather than casual learning experience. Each session focuses on correcting bad habits and establishing proper form—how you sit, where your weight goes, how to read the trail ahead. You'll spend time on actual dirt roads practising these positions before tackling steeper or rockier sections. The instructors watch your riding closely and offer specific feedback. Days build on each other, so early sessions lay the foundation for more demanding terrain by day three.
Good to know
Bring your own bike or arrange rental separately. Helmet is mandatory and provided. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have poor cardiovascular fitness. All other fitness levels welcome.
