Management

Security

The stages of the GT20 South have been designed for electric bikes and their battery range, which completely democratizes cycling in Corsica.

However, it is important to know how to manage your battery life properly.

The GT20 South is also perfectly doable on a regular bicycle and for those who wish to cover a few more kilometers we have variations to offer for each stage!
