Arctic Leopard XT 620
Light but Strong
80 kg with 600 Nm - light enough to maneuver on narrow trails, powerful enough to climb steep grades. A good step up from the Sur-Ron.

This takes all day. The route starts in the foothills and pushes further and further from the city through rocky trails, river crossings, and open steppe. The destination is Bartogay reservoir - turquoise water surrounded by red and yellow desert hills. The contrast is striking. The riding alternates between fast steppe sections and slow, technical rock gardens. You need endurance and experience. There's a reason it's rated difficulty 5.
Helmet, balaclava, body armor with arm protection, knee pads (worn over your pants), jersey, and gloves.
Water, a windbreaker or jacket (depending on the weather), durable pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.

"Turquoise water in a canyon with red-and-white layered cliffs. No cell service for the last hour. The ride out there crosses steppe, rivers, and rocky climbs, so by the time you see the reservoir you've earned it."
Нурсултан К."The colors of Bartogay are insane - turquoise meets terracotta. Long ride through varied terrain. Pack lunch, you'll want to stay!"

Loose gravel that won't let you grip. You'll push the bike on the steepest parts. The reward: the famous mountain swings with a city view behind you.

Boulder-strewn track from Shymbulak base to 3,010m. The rocks shake your arms numb. At the top: a concrete dam wall and a glacial amphitheater where it's always cold.

Start at the Medeu ice arena (1,691m), cross a mountain pass at 2,000m on rocky trails, drop into Butakovka gorge. Short hike to a 30-meter waterfall at the end.
