A hegyikerékpár útvonalak nehézségi fokának besorolása az Egyvágányú Skála szerint
Az Egyvágányú Skála a hegyikerékpár útvonalak technikai nehézségét jelzi. Három szintre oszlik: Könnyű (S0-S1), Közepes (S2) és Nehéz (S3-S5). Ez segíti a kerékpárosokat az útvonalak értékelésében és az útvonaltervezésben — így mindenki biztonságban maradhat odakint.
A hegyi kerékpárútvonalak nehézségéről
To rate the difficulty of mountain bike trails as objectively as possible, we've integrated two different scales into our platform:
- International Trail Rating System (ITRS)
- Single Trail Scale (STS)
Both scales rate trails based on objectively measurable factors such as surface and trail conditions, obstacles, gradient, and the number and line of turns. While the STS provides an overall difficulty rating for the trail, the ITRS looks specifically at technical riding difficulty, separate from other factors like fitness level and fall risk.
The International Trail Rating System (ITRS)
Always be prepared to face an unexpected obstacle, especially if you are outside a managed bike park, trail center or equivalent. So adjust your speed.
Trails are subject to environmental influences like erosion, growth of vegetation etc., and the actual difficulty of a trail may change over time.
In certain weather conditions the trails can be much harder to ride – the rating reflects the locally prevailing situation with respect to the trail being dry or wet.

●
Beginner - Green is suitable for families with kids that are safely able to ride a bicycle. No MTB specific experience required.
No special skills are required other than being able to safely ride a bicycle.
No special skills are required other than being able to safely ride a bicycle.
■
Intermediate - If you have taken a beginners course or already have equivalent bike experience you should be able to try blue trails.
Correct body position and actively adapting it to the trail is required, as well as braking techniques on unpaved surfaces.
Basic cornering skills, good line choice and visual focus (knowing where to focus when looking ahead) are helpful.
Basic jumping skills will increase the fun.

▲
Advanced - You should have finished an advanced riding skills course or equivalent bike experience and you have automated all basic riding skills before trying out red trails.
Ability to constantly adapt your body position and confident brake control in steeper terrain and on varying trail surfaces is required.
Corners can become so narrow that accurate line choice and visual focus is needed.
Advanced and confident jumping and dropping skills are required.
Lifting the front and/or rear wheel will be helpful to overcome obstacles.

⧫
Experts - One or more expert riding skills courses and/or a lot of experience are required to try riding a black trail. Typically, you love to play with the challenges of the terrain.
Constant and precise brake control are mandatory, as is the ability to quickly adapt your body position; excellent balance is a prerequisite.
Corners may be so tight that pivoting on the front wheel becomes necessary.
Jumps and drops can be much bigger and higher so expert skills and a very high level of confidence are required.
Obstacles may be so high that confident bunny hop and drop skills are helpful.

⧫⧫
Extreme - This level is for a few exceptional riders only and requires professional downhill, freeride, slope style and/or bike trial skills.
Professional downhill, freeride, slope style and/or bike trial skills are absolutely necessary.

Az egysávos mérleg különböző osztályai
The difficulty of a mountain biking trail. The assigned difficulty should be reassessed on site as difficulty can change over time i.e. due to erosion or other damage.
S0
Kavics vagy tömörített föld. Az ösvénynek nincsenek különösebb nehézségei, és többnyire erdei és réti ösvényekből áll. Széles kanyarok, könnyű vagy közepes lejtés. Nem igényel különleges képességeket a tekerés.
S1
Kisebb akadályok, például gyökerek és kisebb kövek, amelyeken át lehet lovagolni. A talaj helyenként laza lehet, és eróziós károk is előfordulhatnak. Szűk kanyarok, de nem hajtűkanyarok. Akár 40%-os emelkedő. A lovaglás óvatosságot és figyelmet igényel, de nem igényel különleges képességeket.
S2
Akadályok, például nagy sziklák és gyökerek. A talaj gyakran laza. Lépcsők várhatóak. Szélesebb hajtűkanyarok, akár 70%-os emelkedő. Némi haladó motorozási készséget igényel.
S3
Sok szakasz nagy akadályokkal, például sziklákkal és nagy gyökerekkel. Sok hajtűkanyar és kiegyensúlyozatlan kanyar. Csúszós felület és talp. 70% feletti emelkedő. Folyamatos koncentrációra és nagyon jó kerékpár irányításra és egyensúlyra van szükség.
S4
Nagyon meredek és nehéz. Nagy sziklákkal és gyökerekkel teli szakaszok. Gyakori a laza törmelék. Nagyon meredek szakaszok nagyon szűk hajtűkanyarokkal és magas lépcsőkkel, amelyek miatt a láncszem a földhöz csapódik. Tökéletes kerékpár irányítás és trial készség szükséges - csak profiknak.
S5
Rendkívül meredek és nehéz, nagy sziklamezőkkel és törmelékkel, valamint földcsuszamlásokkal. A sebességet az ellen-aszcendensek miatt kell tartani. Ha egyáltalán csak rövid szakaszok állnak rendelkezésre a gyorsításhoz és fékezéshez. Nagyon kevés hegyikerékpáros tud ténylegesen ezen a szinten tekerni.
