This event is designed with a ideal format for e-mtb, inspired by the spirit of an adventure between friends. Participants will discover uncontaminated landscapes while tackling challenging height differences, and then enjoy long descents on exciting singletrack. And it doesn't end here: at the end of the epic three days of competition, there will be the opportunity to get together and celebrate together with a cold beer at theAll Around Camp of La Salle. Practically every biker's dream!
Safety and preparation as elements of the experience
Everything takes place in complete security. The safety of the participants is a top priority for the All Around E-MTB Bosch 2024. All competitors will be equipped with a GPX track reliable and must have with them a GPS device or a smartphone equipped with an app to upload and follow the track. Bikers will be monitored via a satellite tracker, and they will be present along the way refreshment points, battery charging areas, and numerous marshall points positioned at crossroads and in strategic areas to ensure constant supervision.
Knowledge of one's own capabilities and the limits of the vehicle, some emergency mechanical and navigation skills in a natural environment, a good dose of determination and a great desire to have fun are, however, some of the fundamental skills to best tackle the All Around E-MTB Bosch 2024 route.
The challenge not only involves the rider but also the vehicle. They come into playreliability general of the bike, of the mechanical components and the sensibility to make the best use of them, with particular reference to broadcast andbraking system, both highly stressed elements in e-mtb due to the power applied thanks to the engine and the greater weight compared to a traditional bike.
But not only that, also the management of engine assistancehave pedaling frequency , tire pressure they're important. These are parameters that significantly influence the overall performance of the system, battery life, as well as tire grip and wear.

The Mountain Bike Guide Francesco Gozio, a profound connoisseur and lover of the Aosta Valley, comments: “all competitors must expect a technically varied route, certainly panoramic and highly spectacular. Being able to cross it following an ad hoc trail and above all by e-mtb is certainly a privilege. Let's remember that these are unique environments in the world and having them concentrated in three days is truly a special opportunity".
