Path, which made the Central Moab mountain biking universe needs no introduction. Today is perhaps the most famous Slickrock trail mountain bike around the world, with over 100,000 visitors a year.

The word “Slickrock” is derived from the early settlers whose horses rail extensions are capable of crossing metal rock.

This medium is a unique testing ground for many manufacturers of bicycles, for a mountain bike to be ridden at its best. Traction between stone and tires can keep a bike in the gravity-defying angle, which can be intimidating at first. But once mastered, or at least tolerated, the fluid nature of Slickrock might very well be the most fun you can have! The sections of the track called “Faith in the resistance,” “Creep stiff” and “Baby Bowl background color contour” of the attitude of the track.
