The Rift MTB is a five-day stage race for a team of two through the unique landscapes of North Iceland. The routes take you across rugged trails, along the quiet shores of Eyjafjörður fjord, and over highland plateaus with incredible Arctic views. You’ll face steady climbs, fun descents, and stretches of singletrack winding through birch forests and bike parks.
Each day brings something different—gravel roads, remote trails, singletracks and a real sense of adventure. It’s a chance to experience the raw beauty of North Iceland on two wheels.
