- 3.0H
⏱️ The session lasts 3 hours of actual riding time in a half-day format. This is the "bring your own bike" version of the Takamaka enduro session — you get the expertise of a state-qualified guide without the bike hire. 🔑 Key point: the e-MTB, helmet, and repair kit are not provided — you must come with your own full-suspension e-enduro MTB fitted with a minimum 625Wh battery. This is an important technical detail: an underpowered battery won't hold up over 3 hours on volcanic terrain. Check your specs before booking. 📍 Departure point: Les Bicyclettes du Grenier, Fontanas, commune of Orcines. Transport to the departure point is not included. 🚵 Technical level required: you need to know how to ride an MTB on varied terrain, be comfortable lifting out of the saddle, and be unafraid of committing to a descent. This is not a discovery ride — it's guided enduro for confident riders. 💪 Fitness level: good general fitness required. Anyone with heart conditions, asthma or respiratory issues: bring your medication and let the team know. Recent injury: contact Takamaka before booking. 🎒 Bring: your own full-suspension e-enduro MTB (min. 625Wh), sportswear (long-sleeved top, shorts, trainers), backpack with water and snacks. ⚠️ Weather conditions, cancellation policy and minimum group size aren't specified — contact the Takamaka team on 04 73 92 83 64 or at clermont@takamaka.fr.

FAQ
What's the difference between this session and the one with bike hire?
The version with hire (€75) includes a full-suspension BOSCH 625Wh e-enduro MTB, helmet, and repair kit — perfect if you don't have your own bike. This no-hire version (€50) includes the state-qualified guide only — you come with your own full-suspension e-enduro MTB (minimum 625Wh battery). Same trails, same guide, same duration: just the question of equipment.
Why is a minimum 625Wh battery required for this e-MTB session near Clermont?
The enduro trails around Clermont-Ferrand and Orcines involve real elevation and demanding terrain over 3 hours. A battery under 625Wh risks running flat before the session ends, which would significantly reduce both the enjoyment and potentially the safety of the ride. The 625Wh minimum is a technical requirement specified on the product page — it must be respected.
Do I need mountain biking experience for this guided enduro session?
Yes — this product is designed for confident riders who already know how to handle an MTB on varied terrain, are comfortable lifting out of the saddle, and have no hesitation about technical descents. If you're a beginner, the accessible 2-hour guided ride (€40) or the all-mountain half-day with hire (€65) are better options.
Where exactly does the guided e-MTB ride near Clermont-Ferrand start?
The departure point is Les Bicyclettes du Grenier, Fontanas, in the commune of Orcines — at the gateway to the Chaîne des Puys, just a few minutes from Clermont-Ferrand. Transport to the departure point is not included.
Can I come with any type of e-bike?
No — the product page specifies that you must bring a full-suspension e-enduro MTB with a minimum 625Wh battery. A hardtail, an e-commuter, or a bike with a smaller battery won't be suited to the terrain or the duration of the session. If you're unsure whether your bike fits the bill, contact the Takamaka team before booking.
Does the session go ahead in bad weather?
The cancellation policy and weather conditions aren't specified on the product page. For technical enduro on volcanic terrain, weather directly affects trail conditions. We recommend contacting the Takamaka team on 04 73 92 83 64 or at clermont@takamaka.fr before your session.
Can I give this guided e-MTB session in Clermont as a gift?
Yes — Takamaka Clermont offers gift vouchers directly online. This format makes a perfect gift for a confident rider who owns their own e-enduro MTB and wants to discover the best volcanic trails of Auvergne with a professional local guide.
