We all hate rules, but sometimes they really are needed!

The Biketrial Federation Rules have been further developed at the Annual Meeting in 2012 to take account of questions that arose in the previous year. If riders have any questions or need clarification, please do contact us on info@biketrialuk.co.uk.

The attached rules only apply to events that are run to Biketrial Federation rules. Clubs may adapt the rules and classes to suit their riders. Some clubs do not participate with the Federation and may operate to different rules.

The National Elite riders are expected to be the best in the UK. The title affords them esteem with fellow riders, and offers a title that may be utilised in discussions with the media, and with potential sponsors.

Elite sections are, by their nature, extremely difficult. The severity may make them impassable for inexperienced riders, and as a result may represent a higher level of risk to those riders. It is essential to maintain a high level of status and difficulty in the Elite route. It is therefore necessary to limit access to the entry to the Elite category. Riders cannot therefore self-select into the Elite Class and will be selected on their performance in the Expert Class at previous events, or from performance at World events.
