- 33 Bayly Road, Waitangi 0293, New ZealandWe are located right at the entrance of the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park at the Hub. 33 Bayly Rd, Waitangi
- 1Park up at The Waitangi Mountain Bike Park Entrance and you will find us straight away, ready to rent you a high quality mountain bike so you can spend half or all day exploring the World-Class MTB Park. The Waitangi Mountain Bike Park provides the perfect introduction to mountain biking with lots of easy, scenic trails that you can take at your own pace. It currently offers over 20 trails (50km) of varying difficulty with great flow and features, from introductory downhill riding, jump trails, cross country, beginner trails and loads of tracks for the experts too. There are plenty of fast, flowing berms, rollers and jumps, as well as an amazing view of the Bay of Islands from the top. Grade 2 and 3 runs are so well built, they're still fun for more advanced riders, and the downhill trails milk the most out of the vertical elevation available providing a lot of fun for a small amount of climbing With the bike hire we INCLUDE your ENTRY PASS to the park. This goes straight back into Trail Building and Trail Maintenance, so we really couldn't do it without you!! We stock brand new, quality Full-Suspension and Front Suspension Mountain Bikes, perfect for both the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park. The full suspension bikes are a huge relief on the back, and exceptionally comfortable, it makes for a much smoother ride and takes out all the bumps and rocks you didnt even know where there. The front suspension bikes are great as well, perfect for exploring and a do-it-all machine! Our Expert Staff will be happy to fit you and your group to the right sized bike and ensure you know how to ride properly to ensure you have the most enjoyment riding possible :) *Park Maps, helmets, gel seat and entry pass are provided with any bike hire- everything you need!

- stevedix0n0 contributionsAbsolutely AwesomeMy son dragged us along, I wasn’t too sure what to expect but had a blast. When I booked I found out the e-bikes were Husqvarna bikes, I was already sold as I have a few Husky dirt bikes. Great trails of varying terrains, staff were great and the view over looking the bay was amazing. Staff were skilled with the function of the bikes, safety was paramount the bike park also had GPS points. Would highly recommend Paihia Mountain Bikes.Written 10 January 2024
- coastalwelders0 contributionsE-MTB HireWe were greeted by the super friendly team and quickly shown our bikes we had booked earlier that morning. Really enjoyed the Husqvarna, duel suspension ebikes. Were great to get around the park on. I loved that the park wasn't full of comfronting tracks but had plenty for the beginner and intermidiate rider. Awesome few hours out. Take plenty of water with you as there is no drinking water tap onsite, but bottled water available.Written 7 January 2024

Booked a pair of rental bikes over FB messenger a few days before we arrived. On the day, Jono had us quickly out on the trails riding a pair of well maintained and capable bikes. Several hours and nearly 60kms later we were back.
This has become a fun part of our summer holidays. Highly recommend the trail park and having Jono and his friendly team there if you need a rental bike or parts/servicing is the icing on the cake.

Johnny and the team were spot on with email replies when organising our trip and it was a welcome thing when we got onto the hire bikes and they were nicely serviced and capable dual suspension eMTBs. The Waitangi trails were fun and a great introduction to our rides around teh North Island of NZ. Only shame was the cafe (separately run) was not open on weekdays, but as a business owner myself I can understand that when it is starting to head into the off season. But being the start of the off season, we had the trails pretty much to ourselves, which was awesome.

3 of my friends convinced me to try mountain biking so I was a novice going into this. I was blown away with the level of service I received. The team recommended an E bike and that was definitely a great choice as I was able to keep up with the more experienced members in my group. The team took time to explain the bike and which routes would be suitable for our group. They made the whole experience into a really amazing day. The bikes were in excellent condition and the attention to detail was second to none. I came away from the day with a huge smile on my face. I would thoroughly recommend any one of any age or skill level to give this a go as it is worth every minute.

I decided the day before to go riding in the park, so I just gave them a call for the reservation of my bike. The check-in was easy and the setup of the bike professional. They also providers tipps on where to start which helped a lot, and the bike was very good too. Great experience in total - would do it again!

Abby and crew were absolutely fantastic to communicate and work with. We had a great time exploring the different tracks and got lots of breaks to catch our breath and enjoy our surroundings. Every time we took a different track, the coaches would tell us what to expect and what best to do. Thanks team, Kerikeri High School International will definitely be coming back.

Hired two ebikes with my 13 yr old son, probably the best fun I have ever had on a bike. Friendly staff who fully explained the routes and trails to take, 4 hours in the Summer sun was a perfect duration, unlike Christchurch Adventure park, trails are smoother and less rocky and easier on your arms. Looking forward to visiting again !

We bought the whole family out for a day here. I am the only regular rider, so the others were a little worried about what they were up for.
On arrival, the guys were so welcoming and I formative about the bikes, ability, the mountain that the family were OK the give it a go. 3 dual suspension + 1 electric. All bikes were excellent and top spec gear.
The hills and terrains available are varied for all abilities, so you'll find something that you are comfortable with.
The bus shuttle is a good idea after you have ridden up a few times. Much quicker!
Views from the top are great.
Trails are well maintained.
Just a great day about. Everyone loved it.

Such a great half day activity. From calling up to book, to finding the right bike and an explanation of the park, Johnny was awesome. Super friendly and welcoming. I was a bit nervous but he outlined the best tracks to start on and suggested others if we felt more comfortable after the first track. My husband really enjoyed himself, speeding over the bumps and straights of the easier tracks while I was fine to just coast a long behind. A really enjoyable half day out, beautiful scenery and a great way to burn some calories. The bikes were very well maintained and clean. Highly recommend this place!

Kia Ora Alecia and Roger, thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a great review, we really appreciate it :). The electric bikes sure are an awesome idea to really take your experience of the Waitangi Mountain Bike Park to the next level. They let you get out there exploring for longer, more trails, and even do them faster if you like? As you mention, there are trails for all abilities and confidence levels. Thanks for coming and we look forward to seeing you up here again next time. Cheers, Jonny

Brilliant service from booking online to being matched up with the right bike.
Johnny was super helpful and friendly and set us off to appropriately graded trails. Our 2hrs turned I to nearly 4 having an absolute blast.
All the thumbs up.
