We are repeating last year's success with our own RETRO class! Hafjell Bike Park celebrates 20 years in 2023, and a lot has happened on the cycling front in these years. We would like to commemorate the good old classics, and hope there are many out there who still have, and can dust off the old DH bikes to join in the fun! The rules for running in the RETRO class are as follows:
Frame from LATEST 2009
Handlebar width of MAX 680 mm
Wheel size of MAX 26'', (Mullet bike with 24'' rear wheel gives extra cred)
Timely components and clothing are recommended! (but modern helmet and protection are required)
Bonus seconds will be awarded to the best retro layouts
A good atmosphere is guaranteed!
