The Rotorua Mountain Bike Club creates an epic riding experience for members.
The Club offers competitive and social events, ride nights, skill clinics and community initiatives too, such as scholarships and the First Response Unit.
There’s plenty of reasons to get amongst this awesome tribe of people!
As a volunteer-driven organisation, the Rotorua MTB Club has punched well above its weight with some massive achievements over the past three decades.
The Club’s vision is: improving the mountain biking experience in Rotorua.
You can be confident when you hit the hero dirt here, that you’ll be as safe as possible. That’s because we manage and fund the First Response Unit which ensures you get critical help when you need it - with an average time of 10 minutes for our medics to get to an incident.
In 2021 we merged with Descend, making the Downhill Club part of the overall experience, with amazing support for riders in this discipline.
The Club aims to remove barriers to taking up the sport. We want people of all backgrounds and demographics to be able to jump on a bike and explore the magic of the forest, with accessibility programmes making this aspiration possible.
As a member of our Club, you’ll experience fun, development, good vibes and the positivity that comes with knowing you’re helping to keep people safe… gotta do it right? Become a member here.
Why You Should Join the Club!
First Response Unit
Imagine this: you're out on the forest trails—biking, horse riding, or walking—and you take a fall. You call 0800 Whaka 1, and in no time, you're in the care of a trained medic. Our Club funds the First Response Unit, ensuring this vital service is always available. By becoming a member, you're supporting this lifesaving service and helping keep forest users safe. Your membership is more than just a card—it's a commitment to safety for you and your loved ones.
Epic Events
When the sun’s out, we’re hosting incredible events, made possible by the hard mahi of our dedicated volunteers. Your membership fee helps fund crucial event resources like timing kits and food, ensuring these experiences run smoothly for everyone.
Rider Development
We’re all about developing the next generation of riders! Through partnerships with
Tuned Rotorua,
New Zealand Mountain Biking, and
Let's Ride, we offer top-notch rider development programs. Your membership supports these initiatives, helping make them more affordable and accessible to young riders in our community.
Scholarships
We believe in turning dreams into reality. Whether it’s supporting riders aiming for international competitions or providing gear to local community groups, your membership fee directly funds these transformative initiatives. It’s a cycle of support—from the community, for the community.
