Bike Park Ireland is a Downhill MTB centre in Tipperary, right in the middle of Ireland. There are 6 downhill trails from Green through to Black as well as a Pro line, a large pump track and an XC route. There is an efficient uplift service or you can tackle the 2km climb.

Like this?

Pump Track 

  • The Pump Track is apparently the largest Pump Track in Ireland.

Uplift

  • A pretty efficient uplift service that operates 4 times an hour on uplift days.

Green Trail

  • The Green trail is 2km long and is great for families and beginners There is also Blue teaser section on the Green.

Blue Trail 

  • Lots of little technical sections to enhance your skills. You will enjoy it on a hardtail* bike but it is quite bumpy and much more enjoyable on a full-suspension bike.

Blue - Intermediate Jump Trail 

  • The Blue Jumps Trail, is 1.2km long. It is also known as a “Free Ride Trail” with progressive table tops and rollers as well as smooth flowing berms. It's approx 1.2km long and liek all the other trails it is all-weather trail.

Red Jumps Trail

  • The Red trail has berms and tabletops and is approximtaely 1km in length.

Black 1 - Expert

  • Single track, with lots of off-camber roots sections and drops.

Black 2 - Expert

  • Single track, with lots of off-camber roots sections, rock gardens and drops with roll-around. It’s fast and flowing.

Black 3 – Expert, with a purple road gap jump

  • Tough, steep berms, rock gardens, drops, and a road gap.

Enduro Climb

  • The Enduro Climb trail is a 2km climb to the start of all the downhill trails. It’s a single track with harpacked surface.

XC Trail

  • The Cross Country trail is a short 5km loop starting on the Enduro Climb and continuing off the Green Trail.

Other Stuff

  • An important note of caution with the trail gradings. They are apprarently a step up to traditional trail gradings you are likely used to i.e. a green here is more like a blue anywhere else, a blue more like a red and so on.

Truly brilliant setup with really well maintained fun tracks.

Fantastic place, from beginners to pros it's just a brilliant day out.

What do you like?

Just excellent. I've been to morzine and les deux alps and obviously they don't have the vertical drop but the also don't have the horror breaking bumps or the clay slop if it's wet. It's great for anyone who wants to try Dh and is always worth the 7 hour round trip I have to make to visit.

What could be improved?

Its not in Belfast so I could ride every day.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Get it booked!

What do you like?

Fantastic trails, flow so well - especially the red trail. And the placement of jumps is so good, almost guaranteed to have you airborne several times each run. Even so on the pump track. Uplifts are quality too, supply usually matches demand bang-on.

What could be improved?

None really. But remember to bring a full-face lid and watch out for doubles ??

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
