We’ve got lots to say about our world of mountain biking here in New Zealand’s North Island, and about our love of riding in general.
Summer is coming here in New Zealand. Some would argue it’s already here, given the amazing weather and riding conditions we’ve had lately. With this in mind, we thought it was about the right time to remind you why New Zealand’s Central North Island is THE greatest mountain biking destination on the planet, and why you need…
Our founder Jamie is a bit of a legend. Whatever he turns his hand at, he’s generally really good at it. And he’s pretty humble about it, which makes it even more annoying for the rest of us. But he’s really good, and we mean REALLY good at riding. And on the descent, he can…
Our founder Jamie was one of the lucky few who managed to get their hands on Zerode‘s all new Katipo 29er before it’s official release. Even though he had to keep it under his hat, he had a good few months testing it out right here in Rotorua where it was designed and built. Pretty…
We’ve skipped ahead to episode 5 of BKXC’s epic trip with us in January this year and decided to leave the talking to the comments section of his YouTube Rotorua episode, where we spent the day riding all the world class trails made more accessible by our Land Rover shuttles. So with that, we’ll let…
With 12 amped up riders from the USA and Australia all fizzing after the first couple of days on their mountain biking tour of New Zealand’s North Island, BKXC and the New Zealand Mountain Biking team proposed a “rest day” in the middle of Nowhere – otherwise known as the central North Island. The BKXC…
After an epic first day in Rotorua, riding some classics to kick off our BKXC multi day North Island mountain biking trip – we took the team into the heart of the North Island to a back country classic – the Waihaha. This in and out trail has a slice of everything. The BKXC North…
On the surface, running multi day single track mountain biking trips looks like a great time. That’s because it is. It’s also really hard work behind the scenes – having all the logistics taken care off-stage to ensure that the on-stage show appears to be seamless and all according to script. But all that hard…
With so much world class singletrack right on the doorstep of Rotorua, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that as a visitor, you’ll have a hard time riding the best of the best in a short space of time. Our private jeep shuttles are proving to be a hit with short term visitors wanting to Show…
… and it’s nice to be appreciated We like to think we’re on the right track – getting people of all stripes into the forest, for a day or a few days of great riding at any level. Over time, we’ve refined our trips, made a few tweaks here and there, and learned a thing…
More fun than you can poke a bike at At just a hop skip and a jump from Rotorua, on the isolated east coast of the North Island, a hidden gem of a trail lies in the backcountry – the Pakihi Trail. Once a pack route to transport goods across to Gisborne, this continuous downhill…
