Enduro Croatia is one of the most popular enduro destinations for a reason, but for maximum enjoyment, you need to know some basics. Luckily for you, we are here to discover them and prepare you for an adrenaline-pumping experience!
Most importantly, get to know and prepare your bike. Check if it has electronic aids such as ABS or raction control and how to turn them off. Check your tire pressure. You will be running a lower tire pressure off-road than on pavement. Of course, specific tire pressure will depend on your bike.
The recommendation is at least 50/50 tires to full off-road tires. You can ride with up to 80/20 tires, but please be cognizant of traction on varying terrain.
At Enduro Croatia, we will help you with this part, don’t worry. In the end, we have our own fleet with great bikes ready for action!
Take care of your bike
OK, now when we solved the most important part before your adrenaline journey, let’s go on. What to wear? It can save your life and spare you painful injuries so pay attention.
The helmet should be DOT/SNELL rated street helmet or a dirt-specific helmet no more than five years old. We recommend dirt-style or adventure gloves and boots that provide over-the-ankle protection (MX or adventure ones). Use chest protectors and knee, elbow, and shoulder pads.
Don’t forget to have water because you will sweat a lot. And we mean it – a lot! Some snacks are recommended too.
Now that you’ve taken care of yourself, take care of your bike. Bring a set of tools because it is enduro, anything can happen when you are pushing your and limits of your bike. It is useful to check the weather too before your ride so you can prepare for dirt, mud, or both.
