A perfect score is 0, which means that the section was 'cleaned'. The maximum number allowed per section is 5. Most competitions involve many different sections, which each competitor rides a few times. The lowest overall score wins. Riding Trials takes balance, patience, persistence, strength, technique, and ability.
Trials bikes come in two different varieties.
A 'stock' trials bike is similar to a regular mountain bike. Stock trials bikes are usually sized smaller than a regular mountain bike, giving the rider more maneuverability. They have wide handlebars for balance, and a bashring to protect the chainrings. Modified trials bikes are bikes that are specifically built for trials. All rights reserved.
