  Find out more about the fitness requirements of the TransOst trips. The information given here is a guideline. For guided trips, our guide can adapt the requirements of the trips to the group if possible.

  level 1

  You are about to become an endurance athlete and are in the starting blocks of your career. You have a basic condition for a tour up to 50 km and up to 1,200 meters of altitude.

  Level 2

  You are already a good endurance athlete and can shine with a basic condition. A day tour in the terrain of 50 - 70 kilometres and 1,200 - 1,600 metres of altitude difference will give you great pleasure. Two to three moderate climbs within this range are no problem for you.

  Level 3

  You are a long-term endurance specialist and can ride 50 - 70 kilometers and 1,200 - 2,000 meters of altitude difference per day for several days in a row. Your sitting ability is also up to this task. Two or three longer climbs a day can be mastered with drops of sweat and joy at the same time.

  Level 4

  You are an endurance ace and can ride 50 - 70 kilometres and 1,200 - 2,000 metres of altitude difference per day for several days in a row. Your sitting ability is also up to this task. You enjoy a zig-zag profile and like it when it burns in your calves uphill.

  Level 5

  You love the anaerobic area and like zigzag profiles that rise as steep as they fall.

  Find out more about the driving difficulties of the TransOst trips. The data given here are approximate values. They refer to the sections of a trip that are technically demanding and reflect the predominant difficulty. Some short sections may also be more difficult. However, the difficulty mentioned does not apply to the entire trip. In the case of guided trips, our guide can adapt the demands of the trip to the group if possible.

  Level 1

  You are just learning to “walk on the bike” and prefer mostly solid ground without obstacles and like it when both tires are on the ground. Then you are in the right place.

  Level 2

  You are the helmsman on your bike even on short sections with loose ground. Over small roots or heels you roll over them in a relaxed manner. And you also have a solution for transverse and longitudinal water grooves.

  Level of difficulty according to single trail scale: S1

  Level 3

  You also love longer root trails in between. Isolated large roots or heels do not force you to descend. On loose ground downhill you fill up safely and keep the line confidently. In slight hairpin bends you get the curve.

  Level of difficulty according to single trail scale: S1 - S2

  Level 4

  Big roots and stones or even blocked stone fields - that sounds good? Then you are in the right place. You'll have fun in hairpin bends and adjacent curves. A little airtime for jumps up to 30 - 50 cm height is okay?

  Level of difficulty according to single trail scale: S2 - S3

  Level 5

  Here it goes already in the direction of Bike-Trial.

  Level of difficulty according to single trail scale: S3 upwards
