ADVICE FROM THE TEAM
Product manager Delphine has a few tips for you:
"For mountain bike touring, choose a hydration backpack. It is the perfect option for staying hydrated without stopping. With both hands on the handlebars, you can more easily get through challenging areas. And don't forget to wear a helmet and long gloves for safety. To prevent scratching your legs, cropped tights are a good compromise. One last accessory can come in handy: puncture repair spray."
Our tips for the mid-season
In the mid-season, feel free to wear these 3/4 mountain bike cycling shorts underneath shorts to protect your thighs from vegetation and weather changes.
How to improve your comfort in the saddle
For improved comfort, we recommend:
1/ Investing in cropped bottoms or shorts with a built-in pad to avoid irritation and chafing.
2/ Take care to choose a saddle suitable for women's bodies. The ST 100 and ST 500 saddles are available on the Women's Rockrider mountain bike. But also as spare parts.
3/ Add a gel seat cover to your saddle. They are compatible with the Women's Rockrider saddles and make you more comfortable during your MTB tours thanks to their spongy texture.
