Dress for the
Terrain
Rally Scrambling features three distinct gear classes, each with its own philosophy and competitive identity. Your gear is part of your expression.
Light Class
"Lightness is best."
For purists and highly technical courses. Emphasizes agility and unencumbered flow. Minimal gear, maximum connection to the terrain.
Technical courses, experienced scramblers, speed-focused competition
- Trail running shoes or approach shoes
- Lightweight helmet (optional for some events)
- Minimal clothing — shorts, tank, or compression
- No pads, no armor, no mechanical aids
Armored Class
"Well-fitted is best."
The standard competitive class. Full protection that feels like a second skin. This is where the cosplay culture meets functional design.
Standard competition, expressive scramblers, the full Rally Scrambling experience
- Full-face or half-shell helmet (required)
- Body armor: chest, back, shoulder, elbow, knee
- Gloves with knuckle protection
- Approach shoes or scrambling boots
- Aesthetic customization encouraged
Unlimited Class
"Innovation is best."
The experimental class. Non-motorized mechanical enhancements welcome. If you can build it and carry it, you can race in it.
Engineers, inventors, makers, and anyone who wants to push the boundaries
- All Armored Class gear as baseline
- Non-motorized mechanical enhancements
- Custom rigs, spring-loaded assists, exoskeletons
- Experimental footwear and grip systems
- Must pass safety inspection
The "Fit" Score
In official events, your gear isn't just protection — it's expression. The Fit score evaluates creativity, cohesiveness, and functional integration.
Creativity
Originality of design, materials, and overall concept
Cohesion
How well all elements work together as a unified look
Function
Does the aesthetic enhance or complement actual performance?
