Level 1: beginner

I’m an occasional or regular sportsperson. Thanks to the electric assistance, I should be able to pedal for more or less 3 hours and climb up to 600m elevation.
I know how to get around on my bike, how to control my speed and direction on roads, forest tracks or rolling paths.

I’m an occasional or regular sportsman and I can occasionally make short and more sustained efforts.
With electric assistance, I should be able to pedal a day with a difference in altitude of up to 1400m.
I can ride up and down single-track trails that may be slightly rocky or have small roots.
I can descend a slope standing on the pedals, use both brakes and change gear.
I can ride on small steps and short steep sections.
I can ride at a moderate pace and assess whether I need to get off my bike to negotiate an obstacle that is too difficult.

I’m a regular or keen sportsperson who enjoys making an effort. I know how to manage my effort and know my limits. I’m not put off by demanding climbs that may require me to push! I can manage between 1500 and 2000m of ascent per day.
I’m a regular mountain biker and I know how to control the intensity of my braking, choose the right gear and shift smoothly.
I am at ease on most single-track trails and in a wide variety of conditions: mud, dry terrain, roots, stones, steps, small jumps, steep slopes, etc.
I know my level and how to manage short sections where there is a real risk of falling.
I know how to adapt my speed to the terrain and when it’s best to get off the bike to negotiate obstacles that are too difficult or too exposed.
