THE GNAR RATING SCALE

While watching a ReconRides video, you'll see ratings appear during off-road segments.  Similar to what you might see on Trailforks or a ski slope, this is my attempt to delineate the difficulty of trails ridden in the videos.  They're pretty subjective but should give you a reasonable estimation of the terrain. Scroll down to learn more.

Green

Green

Green

A pretty mellow trail. Mostly flat double track and not much tech, if any.

Blue

Green

Green

A more technical trail that's mostly rideable but requires some bike handling skills.  Obstacles may include roots, rocks, and mud. May include some hike-a-bike.

Black

caution! - maybe best to avoid

caution! - maybe best to avoid

A highly technical, super steep, or overly muddy trail (or all of the above) that will include hike-a-bike sections.  These trails may also be rideable but can be long, with varying terrain and very physically demanding.

caution! - maybe best to avoid

caution! - maybe best to avoid

caution! - maybe best to avoid

A road or trail that is basically impassable or largely unrideable due to flooding, overgrowth, felled trees or excessive debris.  Best avoided unless you're into bushwhacking.
