In the bike park there are tracks of "green" (simple), "blue" (medium difficulty), "red" (complex) and "black" (very difficult) difficulty levels with worked-out blinders, drops, contructions, sharp turns and rhythm sections. The total length of the trails for downhill is more than 15 kilometers with a height difference of 400 meters.
In addition, a wooden skill park (Skill park) and an earthen pump track (Pump track) are separately equipped.
Trails in the bike-perk Krasnaya Polyana
The tracks in the bike park run in such a way that one of the tracks can smoothly turn into another.
Bike Park trails:
- the simple (green) track "Green Bay" (No. 1) is suitable for beginners, even for those who have never ridden in bike parks before.
The route is a 3945-meter gentle descent through a beech forest with a height difference of 369 meters.
An ordinary mountain bike with serviceable brakes and a front shock absorber is suitable for the route. But for more comfort, we recommend a special bike with two shock absorbers and hydraulic brakes;
- blue (medium difficulty) tracks:
- "Bear Corner" (No. 2), with a length of 1084 meters with a height difference of 166 meters;
- "Crimea" (No. 3), with a length of 728 meters with a height difference of 85 meters;
- "Dining room" (No. 4), with a length of 1281 meters with a height difference of 222 meters;
- "Dor-bolu" (No. 5), with a length of 417 meters with a height difference of 97 meters.
These tracks are wide and smooth, have convenient turns and safe jumps of the "table" type, where there is a flat area between departure and landing, which allows you to try jumps, gradually and safely increasing the amplitude.
Blue trails are the most popular in the bike park. They are suitable for almost everyone-from amateurs to professionals;
- red (difficult) tracks:
- "Cake" (No. 8), with a length of 1915 meters with a height difference of 295 meters;
- "Canyon" (No. 10), 404 meters long with a height difference of 82 meters;
- "Vzhuh" (No. 11), with a length of 546 meters with a height difference of 134 meters.
These trails are suitable for more experienced riders, to improve the skill of cycling in the mountains. They are a little easier than black tracks, with small jumps, "skidding", technical turns and an average slope;
- black (very difficult) tracks:
- "Blackberry" (No. 6), with a length of 1779 meters with a height difference of 327 meters;
- "Meldonium" (No. 7), with a length of 1871 meters with a height difference of 365 meters;
- "Cobblestone path" (No. 9), 574 meters long with a height difference of 140 meters.
These tracks are even more difficult and interesting because of the frequent root and stone sections, amplitude jumps.
The entrance to the bike park tracks is located behind the 5-star Rixos Krasnaya Polyana Sochi Hotel
