Riding Rotorua & Timber Trail

An epic short riding escape deep into the forested heart of the North Island. If hitting one kiwi classic ride is your goal, this trip will tick that box and send you home grinning ear to ear after a few days of deep forest single track, good food and drink, and comfortable lodging in the North Island’s best backcountry.

High Line North Island

Our trip begins in Rotorua – the capital of mountain biking in New Zealand. That’s our very biased local opinion, but you’ll see what we mean when we head into “the Redwoods”, as there’s a trail to suit anyone, and no mountain biking trip to New Zealand is complete without descending into the world famous Redwoods! So depending on how jetlagged you are, we can get a sense of what you’re after and hit the perfect trail – smooth flowy goodness with berms galore, to rutty climbs, and technical ditches. Rotorua is famous for its “Hero Dirt” – tacky, with minimal rocks – all set up for maximum fun.
