If you’re looking for a new MTB Tour for the weekend and you want to get out, even if the trails are still a bit wet, take a look at this Collection. Getting dirty is all part of the experience of getting outdoors on your bike. That’s why we put together these rides for you – they’re perfect for getting mucky. To make sure your clothes are clean for your next adventure, we recommend a sports laundry detergent too.

In this Collection, we take you to Southern Germany’s MTB trails. Here you'll find an amazingly diverse range of Tours, from legendary trails in the Freiburg MTB mecca to the perfect flow trail on the Kreuzberg in the Rhön. In the Black Forest, an excellently signposted trail network awaits around Baiersbronn, while in Bavaria you can experience numerous MTB adventures on the Franconian Switzerland’s trail area, the Fichtel Mountains, and the Franconian Forest.

All the Tours follow official MTB routes where cycling is permitted so you can be sure that your fun won’t be stopped. The start and end points are conveniently located at car parks, train stations or bus stops so it’s easy to access the routes and return home after your adventure.

After your adventure, you can wash your muddy clothes with BionicDry® sports detergent. Its innovative Neutraroma® technology neutralises odours and keeps your clothes feeling fresh. The special formula washes even the most stubborn mud crusts off your clothes. At the same time, it’s gentle on your laundry and doesn’t damage the breathability of the fabric.

Be inspired by our Collection and experience the beautiful nature of Germany on your MTB! Whether you wear a white vest or a mud bath, with BionicDry® your clothes will be ready for the next adventure!
