Mastering Trails: Terrain Tips for New Riders
Know Your Terrain
Ready to take your Rexx bike off the beaten path? Whether you're eyeing your first dirt trail or just looking to sharpen your skills, trail riding is where the real fun begins. Here are some essentials to help you ride smart, ride safe, and ride like a pro.
Not all trails are created equal. Start with beginner-friendly routes and work your way up. Use apps or maps to scout the trail grade, elevation, and surface type—gravel, dirt, or mud—so you’re not caught off-guard.
Pro Tip: Look for trails labeled as “green” or “easy” to build confidence before you tackle the wild stuff.
Set Your Bike Up Right
Your Rexx e-bike is built for this. Just make sure it's trail-ready:
- Check tire pressure for the surface type.
- Adjust suspension (if available) for added comfort and control.
- Fully charge your battery — trails can eat up power fast, especially uphill.
Body Position is Everything
When going uphill, lean slightly forward to keep traction. On the way down, shift your weight back and keep your arms relaxed. Your body should flow with the trail, not fight it.
