Riding at Skyline Bikepark - Part 3 | Queenstown - New Zealand

[@tinman8888]

Mate I just watched all 3 parts. Place looks so good. Trying to get over at the end of this year. Just wondering what sort of travel most people were running?

[@rock-and-dirt]

thanks mate. most of us have either 170 /180mm front, 160/170mm in the rear.

@@rock-and-dirt Thanks mate. Good to know. Will help with taking the right rig. Cheers

@@tinman8888 note that the park has quite a variety of trails, but all have a similar character, steep with mostly tree roots and some rock. I would think a big bike would be best. I know many riders using their DH rig for the Skyline Park.

@@rock-and-dirt Thanks mate. I do have a full 27.5 bike I use for parks and shuttles which is 180/160. So may be an option. It pedals ok but we would be doing lifts and shuttles most days I am thinking. Otherwise I can beef up my Stumpy Evo and throw a 170 on the front to go with the rear suspension mods I already have and it would be 170/160 mullet.

@@tinman8888 both options would work, but a mullet would be my pick (considering the steepness of some trails).
