There is nothing safe about charging down a narrow trail sometimes no wider than a foot at speeds up to 64 kph (40mph), all while navigating through boulders, rock gardens, 10-foot drops and tight corners. As such, the only trails that qualify for XDGE are those ranked as Black diamond and Double Black diamond by the MTB project.  The world speed record for mountain biking is held by Eric Barone (aka “Red Baron”) who reached 227.7kph (141.5 mph) on a snow packed mountain in Vars, France on March 18, 2017, at the age of 56!

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : 1 Very Difficult
Discipline : 2 Extremely Difficult
Fatality Rate of 1: X Participants
Severe Injury Rate of 1: X Episodes
Severe Injury Rate of 1: X Participants

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights, Insurance scores, reaction time available as adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, backup equipment, other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, result of most mishaps, and the likelihood of major accident if sport done frequently.
