You will need to be a reasonably confident mountain biker as some short sections of the tracks you will use may be narrow and technical. Front suspension may aid your comfort, but is not a must - you will have no problem on a rigid bike if you are a confident rider. 

The course will generally follow roads and tracks but will also include a section on open mountain. You may have to carry or push your bike at some stage, so be prepared for this.  If a section becomes too technical you can always get off and walk. 

Make sure your bike is in good order and consider your tyre choice carefully as you will be on a mixture of surfaces. 

Note if you use SPDs you will have to carry your own running shoes for the running/trekking stage.
