hi, im going to les arcs next year! im currently riding a yeti 575 07` model with pikes up front! will it be ok out there ??? and whats the best tyres for it.
cheers jason
Yes, and black round ones.
Seriously when there this year it was morning rain, afternoon sun, and anything from slimy rocks to dry dusty trails.
Most of the riding was down to rider commitment.
Enjoy it, brill place to ride.
Yes your bike will be fine. I tend to run dual ply tyres when I go as there is little climbing but it's rocky and the dual ply casings reduce punctures. As for what exact tyre it depends what you like/run normally but maxxis high rollers will always be good IMHO.
Fantastic place to ride, so long as you know where you're going/have a guide. We were lucky as I managed to get a few GPS tracklogs from some guys here but we still missed some great stuff (apparently).
Seriously thinking of going back again next year.
As for bikes, anything will do so long as you've got reasonably big (pref dual wall) tyres. We were all on 5-6" travel bikes with mainly 2.35 Maxxis (HR/minion/advantage/Larsen) and loved it.
