Montée Impossible represents the pinnacle of French Hillclimbing championship, set against the stunning backdrop of Arette in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The event showcases the audacious skills of 60 riders, each mounted on wildly customized bikes, as they confront a daunting 230 meter vertical ascent.
These exceptional machines are equipped with formidable features including 1000cc road motorcycle engines, spiked tires for grip, nitro-powered propulsion, and the astonishing amalgamation of two 500cc 2 stroke engines 🤯. The spectacle unfolds with over 100 horsepower trial bikes, all poised to conquer what is deemed the most formidable Hill Climb in the world, where crashes, fails, and valiant attempts abound.
Remarkably, this year's challenge saw no rider triumphantly reaching the summit, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the competition.
