As a 7stanes destination, Innerleithen boasts a reputation for its collection of four Bike Park Extreme downhill trails, each marked with an orange grading. Moreover, those seeking a demanding cross-country adventure can partake in the Innerleithen XC trail, graded as a challenging red.
The world-renowned Golfie, situated in Caberston Forest, is merely a brief pedal across town, featuring a network of off-piste semi-official downhill trails.
Grade: Red (19.0 km)
Not for the faint hearted, this route includes a leg-burning climb, some thrilling singletrack descents and optional black graded features. You’re on single track right out of the car park, with a switchback climb through the forest and a lung-busting climb to the summit of Minch Moor ahead of you. It’s back to singletrack on the way down, with jumps, drop-offs and optional black-grade features
Grade: Double-black
Some of the best downhill routes in the country. The mix of 'natural' and machine-built routes drops steeply through the forest from the summit of Plora Rig. All routes are graded 'extreme', with small, medium and large features. Full face helmet, gloves, body armour and a downhill specific bike are strongly recommended for all trails. The four waymarked downhill tracks are:
Adrenalin Uplift is the ideal way to make the most of your time on the trails. This shuttlebus service runs at 15-minute intervals, and has the capacity to transport 64 riders and their bikes to the hilltop.
