24.01.2022 Trouty steep, rocky, fast, technical and offering panoramic views of the town - that's if you're game enough to raise your eyes off the trail. Used in the Enduro World Series, the rock gardens were famous for wreaking havoc on bikes and bodies. Trouty starts on Krushka’s and offers an alternative exit from the network, directly onto the Tasman Highway. : Revolution MTB Magazine

06.01.2022 Allow us to introduce you to our trail maintenance crew's new best friend - the Trek Bicycle Rail 7. Released in early 2020, the Rail 7 is a long-travel electric mountain bike built for ripping the big stuff. It features the same high-end trail tech as the Trek analogue trail bikes, an upgraded fork, drivetrain, battery and more, plus a powerful new Bosch drive system that's basically like having your own shuttle. With all that in mind, plus the sexy frame of the Rail 7, we... thought it was best to hear directly from our trail maintenance guru Pete about how it rides... "The Trek Rails have changed the way we do maintenance. Accumulating about 1000km on each bike over the last 4 months has given us a really good feel for the bikes, and being able to access all corners of the network with speed and minimal effort has been a revelation. What has come as an additional surprise is how fun the Rails are to ride! Even in work boots and with backpacks the Rails manoeuvre accurately and with purpose both on the climbs and descents adding another dimension to our daily commutes."
