Our trails

Green to black, all downhill

We have a range of trails built with progression in mind. You'll find techy red and black trails with an off-piste feel complimented by green and blue flow trails.

Grading

What to expect when you drop in

Here's our trails, listed by their grade and a guide to trail grading so you know what to expect when riding with us. We're friendly and non-judgmental, so if you have any questions about grading - or anything else, please just ask.

  1. GREEN
    • Floverload

    Relatively flat, wide and smooth trails. Gentle descents, rollers and berms, with easy to avoid features. Surface might be loose, uneven or muddy at times.

  2. BLUE
    • Peek-a-Blue
    • Space Melon

    Descents with moderate gradients, technical features like tree roots and rock steps; jumps and berms. Rollable features at controlled speed. Variable surfaces.

  3. RED
    • Reddy Steady
    • Earth Pig
    • Mud Life Crisis
    • Ground Control

    Steep descents and / or avoidable features. Larger jumps, berms and rollable features at controlled speed. Technical features such as tree roots, drop-offs and large rocks. Very variable surfaces.

  4. BLACK
    • Life's a Beech
    • Now in a Minute

    Long and steep descents and jumps. Numerous hazards including drop-offs and severe features. Rapid rate of surface change. Commitment required.

Recce first

Our trails are constantly evolving and being maintained, making recce rides really important - even if you've ridden at Hafod Trails before, you may encounter changes to the trails.

Bring disc brakes

We highly recommend using a bike with disc brakes - especially in wet weather when the trails may be muddy rendering rim brakes ineffective.
