Crankworx Les Gets 2017

Through dirt, sweat and cheers, Crankworx celebrates the epic endurance, supreme flow, monster air and heart-stopping drops of freeride mountain biking.

Anointed by dirt, powered by passion, the Crankworx World Tour travels for the fourth time to Les Gets in the French Alps from the 14 to 18 June.

Staking a claim for mountain biking in France, the global centre of cycling, Crankworx Les 2 Alpes touches down under the largest skiable glacier in Europe. Located an hour-and-a-half from Grenoble and a stone’s throw from the Italian border, the historic alpine village provides a stunning setting to consecrate the innovation and showmanship of the best gravity athletes. Aeronautic tricksters, speed freaks and enduro maestros meet to compete on the steep scree slopes of the Alps and push the limits of what’s possible on a mountain bike to the brink.
