Who pays when an enduro stage in the Tweed Valley bites back?

icon Frais médicaux

Slick roots, Borders rock and broken wrists

Tweed Valley trails stay greasy long after the rain, with roots and slabs that punish a wrong line. In enduro that usually means a collarbone, a wrist or a knee. Medical costs up to €150,000 pay for treatment, hospital stays and surgery after an accident.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Getting carried out of a Scottish forest

Enduro stages often run well away from forest roads a vehicle can use, so getting to an injured rider takes time. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost organise your evacuation from the scene and your journey home, whether you live in Edinburgh, Lyon or further away.

icon Option compétition

Timed stages and race entries, sorted by the Competition option

Tweedlove isn't only a party, there's proper racing against the clock too. If you enter official competitions, the Competition option covers you in competition at the event and throughout the season, from regional rounds to races abroad.

icon Capital invalidité

A lasting injury after going over the bars? Up to €200,000

Going over the bars on a steep section, or a hard hit to the head or back, can have permanent consequences. The permanent disability benefit of up to €200,000 is paid if the accident leaves lasting impairment, to help adapt your home or replace lost income.

Scottish weather turns good trails into ice rinks fast

In Scotland one shower is enough to turn a trail into an ice rink, and the weather swings fast between May and June. Many riders meet these roots for the first time on race day, with no practice and the wrong tyres. Then come back-to-back runs, end-of-day fatigue and the urge to chase someone faster.

The festival lasts a few days, but mountain biking is a year-round habit, at bike parks, in local woods or on riding trips. Solid mountain bike insurance covers you everywhere, in training and in races, at home or abroad and whatever your country of residence. It won't refund your entry or travel, but it covers you.
