The Grand Tour is a feature of Descenders, introduced on October 28, 2021.
The Grand Tour is a series of optional missions that can be completed to acquire rare Developer gear sets. These missions are split into various groups, with each group being called a "tour". Tours gradually increase in difficulty, and they have to be completed in order before the next tour can be worked on.
5 missions have to be completed in a set to unlock the next set. Each completed mission will award a random Item. The first two tours will award a random common item each, the next two will award a random uncommon item each, and so on until the last two tours award a random extraordinary item each.
Note, however, that should a player already own all items in a certain rarity, they may not receive anything upon claiming the reward. The player may still receive an item if there are still any items in a lower rarity left to obtain. (For example, should the player be rewarded a Rare item while already having all Rare items, they may instead be rewarded an unobtained Uncommon or Common, if there are any left to unlock.)
Completing each tour awards two pieces of the Developer Gear set mentioned in the name of the tour.

|---|---|---|---|
| To The Window! To The Wall! | Have you found the castle miniboss in Highlands yet? Try getting low and exploring it | N | This requires the specific miniboss where you can perform up to 3 tricks. Instead of going up the ramp (leading to King of the Castle), go to the side, jump through the hole in the obstacle, then bike through the next hole in the obstacle. |
| Dirt Jump Time in Dyfi Valley | Jump the dirt tracks at Dyfi Valley! You can find Dyfi by selecting Ride, and the Bike Parks menu from the pause screen | N | From the start, steer to the right, cut through the grass, and follow the path until you see the dirt jumps in the distance. Jump them to complete this challenge. |

| I Want To Break Free | Ride to the edge of the lobby area, and see what happens when you try to escape... | N | If this does not immediately trigger, you may need to bike to a different section of the lobby and ride to that edge. |
| Ride For A Team | See those team nodes on the map? Choose the same team three times, and they'll invite you to join their crew | Y | Tied to It Begins. Self-explanatory. |
