Organiser's Description

The TrailX eMTB Challenge is the mountain bike event that appeals to all ‘E off-roaders’, regardless of experience or ability there is plenty to keep you smiling. It’s just you, your eBike, a bunch of like-minded souls and a stunning location, with varied terrain that makes for one of the best mountain bike courses around!

1,200m of climbing and descending over 60km (3 laps of 20km) of mixed terrain mountain biking to test you and your eMTB.

The challenge takes place on an exciting and innovative course that features a purpose-built bridge in the centre of the event village making for a true figure of 8. This means that you pass through the arena area twice per lap so there is plenty of opportunity for banter and support from spectators but also allows access to the feed area to keep your human battery topped up.

The TrailX eMTB Challenge is not a race – you will be timed but the challenge is more of a ‘battle of the battery’, optimal battery use will be crucial if you want to go fast but get home with some assistance!

Course Details

Pippingford Park is a stunning 900+ acre private estate in the heart of the Ashdown Forest, East Sussex. Due to an historical law off-road cycling is banned in the public areas of the Ashdown Forest so we consider ourselves very lucky to be able to open this largely untouched area to Mountain Bikers at this event.

If you’ve been lucky enough to have ridden at Pippingford Park before you’ll want to know if the long descent from the top of the venue to the bottom of the valley is in the course… yep, of course it is. It’s a thrill a minute descent with fast sweeping berms small jumps and drops (that are all roll-able) and fun twisting sections.

While this venue is renowned in mountain biking circles for its fun woodland single track just mentioning that doesn’t do the course justice. From trails that ebb and flow across stunning open heathland that are only accessible on long lap events to a great fun gully trail that follows the boundary of the venue, even the climbs are fun!

When it has all got a bit much after a big effort and your eyes are spinning a bit just take a breather and enjoy the amazing views across the Ashdown Forest.
