The event is located off Taharua Rd, SH 5 (Napier/Taupo Rd), about 25 minutes from Taupo. Epic Events signs & arrows on SH 5.
The unique Taupo pumice makes it rideable in all weather. We need rain to compact the track. Over 160kms of tracks in total, with rolling hills, winding gully’s, cranking firebreaks & jumps. Millions of berms and mega traction. Lots of variety! All main trails freshly groomed after each event!
Pump up your skills on a variety of optional breakout trails, off the main trails and there’s some purpose-built trails for the novice riders and for the kids too. Enduro X track.
Skill Levels: All Trails and Breakouts are graded 1-6 just like mountain biking.
Tracks:
All have optional breakout sections, that you can ride over and over grades between 2-6. The KTM and the Husqvarna have common sections so you can mix and match. Novice, Novice kids and Kids mini forest track, Kids mini and mud track.
