One of the most popular trails on Matairangi. Is it due to its fun, playful corners and jumps, or because it's the logical drop in from the summit? We think you'd better ride to decide. It’s a fast descent littered with tabletops, berms, and a step up that is a great warm-up for a ride session, especially if riders continue onto V trail. Southstar Trails were contracted for the latest rebuild with design input from Trails Wellington representatives to remove the old wooden step down and create a newer run out that made better use of the elevation. Additionally, some bigger table tops and a new step-up were added to make a much more exhilarating ride.
Matairangi Trail Builders manage the maintenance and have added their own tweaks to this iconic trail, making it even better.
