ROSTREVOR

Overview

On the shores of Carlingford Lough, the Rostrevor Mountain Bike Trails powered by Chain Reaction Cycles offer some challenging mountain biking where efforts are rewarded with incredible coastal views and exhilarating singletrack descents.

With a mouth watering 27km red trail and a hair raising 19km black trail Rostrevor is believed by many to be the top spot for mountain biking in Ireland. These trails are also open 24 hours a day and totally free to ride.

When you add not just one but two purpose-built downhill trails to the mix, there’s no denying it… Rostrevor is a mountain bikers’ haven!

This red trail will start off with a lung-busting ascent to the heights of Slievemartin, where you can rest assured if the climb hasn’t taken your breath away, the fabulous views over Carlingford Lough will take care of this for you.

You will then be able to enjoy a number of exciting descents and section of northshore over to Yellow Water where the trail turns back and follows the Kilbroney Valley back to the trailhead.

This black trail follows the same route as the red trail to the summit of Slievemartin and around Slievebane before splitting off at Rostrevor Forest.

This trail then navigates a heart-racing section of technical singletrack to meet the return route along Kilbroney Valley back to the trailhead. This is a challenging route only suitable for experienced mountain bikers.

This trail has been designed to put the fun factor right off the richter scale! Starting on the southern slopes of Slievebane, this lightning quick Downhill route will push your bike handling skills right to the limit.

Big jumps, big berms with secret booters wait around every corner.

Enjoy some serious airtime with epic views of Carlingford Lough if you can catch your breath!

On the Pulse is highly technical and complements its natural surroundings.

Big boulder fields, drop offs and the odd gap jump if you can find the speed will challenge the racers amongst us.

Your arms will be tired but your smiles will be big once you conquer this challenging trail.

Mountain bikers are also reminded that the unofficial sections of 'On the Pulse' that were utilised for events are out of bounds.
