Safety guidelines
ITRS - International Trail Rating System
ITRS is an objective methodology to classify routes and trails from the biker’s perspective evaluating four aspects:
· Technical difficulty: skill level required
· Shape: combined effect of length, ascent, and descent
· Wilderness factor: necessary planning considering phone reception, rescue options, water supply, and wildlife
· Exposure: consequences of a potential fall
