Faster uplifts and and more trails at BikePark Wales? Yes please!

BikePark Wales has completed numerous projects, including a shorter uplift road, faster loading trailers, new trails, and overhauled classic trails. These enhancements are now ready for riders to experience and enjoy.

Uplift Updates!

It has taken us years (literally!) to get all the required permissions for this one but we finally got the green light to create a cut-through and shorten our uplift road.  Anyone who has ridden at the park in the last couple of weeks will know how truly epic this is, the uplift is now significantly shorter and buses are getting to the bottom faster meaning everyone is getting even more laps than before.

We have been prototyping and perfecting a new trailer design over the last two years and the first batch of production trailers are now in use with the rest coming next week. These new trailers load 50% faster than the old design, suit larger modern bikes as well as smaller bikes much better and mean less shifting bikes around to make them fit. Again, this means faster loading and more laps.
