Trail Overview

This is a great little segment that packs a lot of character into a short distance. It moves away from the flat desert floor and introduces a punchy uphill climb that requires a bit of focused throttle control and body positioning. The ground is littered with small, loose rocks that add a layer of texture to the ascent, making it a perfect spot to practice maintaining traction on an incline. It’s a rewarding trail for those who enjoy a quick burst of engagement and a break from the standard high-speed flats.

Difficulty

The difficulty is low to medium, depending on your comfort with technical inclines. The grade and the loose rocks are the main factors, but there are no major ledges or boulders to worry about. Just pick a solid line and keep your momentum steady to the top.
