We Rode Italy's Best Singletrack!

Neil and James head to the heart of Tuscany to tackle two of Italy’s most iconic riding destinations: the technical limestone canyons of Massa Marittima and the legendary flow of Punta Ala. Riding the Orbea Rise LT and SL, the duo puts these lightweight e-MTBs to the ultimate test across 1,000-meter descents and historic EWS stages. From 13th-century hilltop towns to the Mediterranean coast, this is a masterclass in why Tuscany belongs on every mountain biker’s bucket list.
