FAQ
Is Riding Weissbach difficult to learn?
Riding a Weissbach bike is not only intuitive but remarkably easy to master.
Unlike skiing or snowboarding, where learning the basics can take days, Weissbach riding offers a significantly faster progression.
It’s truly for everyone - within a couple of hours, you’ll be carving and drifting down the slopes and before you know it, you’ll be exploring off-piste terrain.
How do you Brake/Stop?
As you obviously have no brakes like on a MTB, braking is similar to the physics of skiing. Instead of pulling the brake lever, you control your speed and stop by positioning the bike sideways. It’s a skill that’s easy to learn and incredibly satisfying to master. Visit our tutorials section to see how it works. Our guides will have you braking like a pro in no time.
How does the lift transportation work?
Bringing your Weissbach Bike up the mountain with a ski lift is seamless.
Whether you’re using a T-bar, a chairlift, or a gondola, you’ll find that our bikes integrate effortlessly into the lift systems of most ski resorts.
In our basic training you gain sufficient understanding of the process ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Can i convert my mountainbike into a skibike?
Unfortunatelly not. With the Weissbach bike, we’ve redefined what’s possible on snow. This innovation stems from a completely new bike geometry that is tailored to the dynamics of riding on snow. A shorter chainstay, steeper head angle and reengineered footpeg positioning work in perfect harmony to create ultra-dynamic yet fully controllable handling. These precise design elements are complemented by high-performance components, including our advanced retention system and newly developed skies. Together, they form a machine that sets a new standard for riding on snow. This unique geometry is the key, making it impossible to simply retrofit a standard mountain bike without compromising performance, safety, and the ability to fully realize your vision of riding a bike on snow.
