IS THIS TRAIL FOR YOU?
Red grade bike park trails are suitable for: Proficient mountain bikers with advanced off-road bike handling skills used to riding technically demanding difficult trails.
- Bike required: Good quality well maintained off-road mountain bikes with hydraulic disc brakes. Mid to long travel (140mm to 200mm) modern full-suspension all-mountain or downhill bikes recommended.
- Trail and surface types: Steep and tough terrain, with constant technicality. Expect very variable surface types and a high frequency of natural and man-made obstacles.
- Gradients and technical trail features: Red trails can include, steep descents of a challenging nature, natural trail features such as rock gardens, large and numerous exposed roots and technical terrain, as well as man-made trail features such as large berms, timber features, and large advanced jumps and drops.
- Suggested skill level: An advanced level of skill is required; riders must be confidently able to handle off-cambers, larger drops, jumps and steep gradients, with an ability to control the bike over very uneven and often slippery trail surfaces such as roots and rocks.

PLUS TRAILS: ARE THEY FOR ME?
A trail with the additional Plus grading features a high frequency of bike park style features such as jumps, drops or gaps that require, or actively encourage, a rider’s wheels to leave the ground.
Do you actively seek airtime and confidently tackle drop offs, jumps and gaps? If so, then plus trails are right up your street! The trails are colour graded as usual to denote the extent of the challenge of the bike park style jump and drop features.
If you prefer riding more naturally technical terrain or are not confident at handling the bike in the air and prefer ‘wheels on the ground’ then please stick to the standard blue, red and black trail gradings where the frequency of jumps and drop features is far lower.
