Community

Understanding: Levels, Awards, Achievements & Badges

The details on how our community is organised.

By default, all new members to the MTBR community are assigned the rank of Rookie. As you contribute to the community by uploading routes, sharing content, adding trails (and many more), you will receive awards which in turn will increase your rank in the community.

As you contribute to our community, points are accumulated automatically allowing you to move from Rookie, to Skilled, Experienced, Master and finally Ambassador. These levels highlight your contribution to the community.

Each level has its own benefits as a way for us to say thank you to those contributing to the community. From discounted gear, to free entries and chances to win high-end products.

Details for the first quarter of 2021 will be published soon.
