Mountain Bike Trails in Mangamahoe Mountain Bike Park

Anti Climb-Ax - Lower

Extensively reworked and renamed in 2025.

Anti Climb-Ax -Top

Built between 2010 and 2012, this trail has plenty of small jumps and berms.

Ara Hoki

It starts at the very northern end of the park off the main gravel road and heads back to the southwest through undulations and around trees. It eventually doubles back to head north and climbing up via switchbacks you come out almost opposite the entrance to Kahore Tau. The trail was mainly digger built by Trail Pro during early winter 2017. Their work in the park during this period was funded by grants from the TSB Community Trust and the New Zealand Community Trust.

BB Sizzler

Built in 2 stages, the lower section opened in 2013. A couple of years later the top section with the Tree 60 degree berm was opened. This trail can be rolled easily if going slowly, but with increased speed you need to be on top of your game to negotiate the jumps/drops that come in rapid succession.

Bates

Downhill track, narrow and rooty but with a mellow gradient. Can exit early towards Climb-Ax, at the end onto the forestry road or turn left on the start of Snake and Ladders.

Bates to Sankes Link

Buddhafinger

Narrow and rooty, but lots of fun. The entrance is left off Cashflow Extention and starts with a short climb and flat section, but then it soon gets into the downhill proper. It has a fast exit onto the forestry road so take care to look for other users. Named as a tribute to a NZ Rock band, this trail was first started in 2013.

Buddhafinger Alt Exit

Alternative exit that links track to Headrace.

Buzzcut

Buzzcut was created by buzzcutting the gorse out of the way then riding it. Intended to be a basic, rough and ready track, making use of features that are already there. Exit is particularly steep. Best avoided in the wet.

Buzzcut Extension

Traverses and climbs slopes between Mandatory and S'up before a final short downhill to the Pavillion. Built by Jamie Christmas and his son Dylan.

Carpark to Lake Link

Undulating singletrack that connects Plantation Road to Lake Mangamahoe entranceway.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow switchback heaven, flowy downhill track. Great option for getting down from Million dollar loop.

Cashflow Extension

An excellent flow trail that continues the fun of Cashflow to make one of the longest downhill runs in the park. Originally a handbuilt trail that was rebuilt by Trail Pro to a better standard.

Climb-Ax

It's far nicer to climb this track to the top than the gravel road. Towards the top it has two pinch climbs.

Crash Gordon

It's a real mixed bag of a track coming off Kendo Cut. Starts with a tricky traversing downhill section with two drops and some off-camber. It then meanders through natives on the river flats with a waterfall being a highlight, before a short loose punchy climb return the track back to your starting point. Not recommended in wet weather and can take a while to dry out.

Crazy Train

New track that's still bedding in.
