Sintra’s Trail & Enduro MTB tracks are awesome ! 

The Likes Of YT industries (new capra launch), GT (ebike launch) & Zipp (moto wheel launch) have all done press camps on the Sintra Mountain bike Trails.

But we have no interest in dirty diesel uplifts and deffo no ebikes please. (Ok, So the eagle eyed might spot in the photos below that one of our posse rides one, But it’s purely or medical reasons 😉 
Our ethos is “”YOU GOTTA EARN YOUR DESCENTS”” Good old fashioned graft, leg powered!

All the tracks you’ve been drooling over in the mags and instagram run sweet all year due to our mild climate, Burros – Sintra Donkey Trail, Pedra Branca – Sintra White Rock Trail, 17 Paus – Sintra 17 Sticks Trail, Cogumelos – Sintra Mushrooms Trail, Rochoso –  Sintra Roach trail, Fofinho – Sintra Fluffy Trail, and much much more.

Lets look at some favourites,

Burros – Sintra Donkey Trail
