Flow led

A flowled is designed to give the cyclist a smooth and flowing experience, which makes it suitable for many different cyclists. These trails vary in difficulty and are characterized by gentle curves, rolling hills and jumps designed to maintain speed and flow without requiring the rider to brake or pedal much. The trails are less technical, but still an exciting alternative to singletracks that are more demanding.

Most important characteristics of a flow led:

• Evenness: The path is often built with smooth surfaces and no sudden obstacles, which makes for a smooth ride.
• Curves: The curves are banked to help the rider maintain speed and flow through the turns.
• Rolling terrain: Small slopes and valleys that contribute to a natural speed increase and decrease.
• Jumps and drops: Small to medium jumps and drops that can be taken with or without leaving the ground, making them accessible to riders of different skill levels.
• Flowing design: The entirety of the path is designed to maintain a natural movement and rhythm.

Single tracks

Singletrack is a narrow path that is usually wide enough for one bike unlike flowled where two bikes can sometimes fit. This trail is available in varying degrees of difficulty and is more challenging than a flow trail as they can contain roots, rocks, steep climbs, descents, tight curves, and other natural obstacles that make cycling technically challenging. Attention and good bike control are required in these areas. 

Main characteristics of singletrack:

• Narrow path: Singletrack is usually between 30 and 60 centimeters wide, which means there isn't much room to ride next to someone else.
• Natural environment: The paths often go through forested areas, over mountains, and through other natural landscapes, making them integrated with the surroundings.
• Technical challenges: Singletrack can contain roots, rocks, steep climbs, descents, tight turns, and other natural obstacles that make cycling technically challenging.
• Varied terrain: A singletrack can include anything from smooth and flowing sections to highly technical sections that require advanced cycling techniques.
• Requires focus: Due to the narrowness of the trails and the technical challenges, full attention and good bike control are often required.

XC trail (cross-country trail)

A cross-country trail is particularly suitable for mountain biking

Main characteristics of XC joints

• Terrain: XC trails often go through varied terrain that includes forests and fields. The terrain can be uneven, with roots, rocks and other natural obstacles. The terrain is usually designed to be rideable for cyclists of different experience levels.
• Basis: The surface of an XC trail can vary greatly and include gravel, dirt, sand, mud and sometimes even rocky sections. In some areas, stiles and bridges are built to facilitate difficult and, above all, soft and wet terrain
• Distance: XC trails can be of different lengths, from shorter trails of a few kilometers to longer rides that span several miles.
• Speed: XC cycling is often about endurance and speed. The trails are designed to be able to maintain a relatively high speed, but at the same time they require good fitness and strength. 
• Signs and markings: Well-designed XC trails are clearly marked with signs and directions to help cyclists stay on track and inform them of upcoming difficulties or route choices.
