iBikeRide UK MTB Trail Index
The iBikeRide UK MTB Trail Index is a live ranking system that tracks the standings of UK riding spots across the calendar year, including trail centres, bike parks, pump tracks, wild trail networks and urban bike parks. Every time a rider leaves a rating and review, the index updates automatically, so feedback directly shapes the rankings.
A minimum of five reviews is required before a place appears on the Index. This sets a lower threshold than the UK MTB Trail of the Year Campaign Leaderboard for a given year, where the Top 10 can differ. The Trail Index runs continuously all year, while the Trail of the Year Leaderboard is a snapshot at a specific point in time.
For riders, this provides a current and community driven picture of where to ride. Both the Index and the Trail of the Year Leaderboard use a Bayesian average to calculate ratings and determine relative rankings.

Highest Rated Bike Parks
Bike Parks: Gravity focused venues with multiple short tracks or zones that you lap, such as downhill runs, jump lines and freeride trails, usually with some form of paid access and a more rural footprint.

Highest Rated Trail Centres
Trail Centres: Officially managed venues with graded, waymarked singletrack loops starting from a clear trailhead, where climbing is part of the designed ride, with facilities that can range from a full visitor centre to basic parking and trail information.
Highest Rated Wild Trail Networks
Wild Trail Networks: Larger woods and hills that riders experience as a web of trails rather than a single waymarked loop. These places usually mix rights of way and formally sanctioned trails that have been agreed with land managers with more informal or unsanctioned rider built lines. There is no single trail centre or bike park operator that defines the whole area, and local trail groups and land managers often work together in different ways to keep the riding sustainable.
Highest Rated Urban Bike Parks
Urban Bike Park: Compact bike venues in or close to towns and cities that bring together short trails or loops, jumps or skills lines and often a pump or BMX style track, usually on a smaller urban footprint than a full trail centre or rural bike park.
