I've only walked/run it. Not too bad at the Luibilt end but there's definite hike-a-bike through the gorge at the Glen Nevis end. Quite a lot of bouldery path stuff in the middle - a mixture of riding/walking/carrying.

Also pretty narrow and popular with walkers. Although you won't be travelling fast!

Done it the other way round many years ago in very dry conditions. It was OK so doing it your way (ie downhill) should be OK. However the long way round over the pass to the Lairig Leacach bothy, down to spean Bridge then through Leanachan forest to Fort bill probably has better riding overall (but is a lot further I grant you....)
