Innerleithen Downhill

Established for well over a decade, the downhill trails at Innerleithen are regarded as some of the best in the UK. A rich history of track building has resulted in a rabbit warren of ‘natural’ and machine-built trails that drop steeply through the forest from the summit of Plora Rig.

Together with the many classic trails here, four tracks crafted by renowned local trailbuilder Dik Hamilton provide a stack of options for both riders and race organisers: Matador, Cresta Run, Gold Run, and Make or Break.

All routes are graded ‘extreme’, with small, medium and large features. Full face helmet, gloves, body armour and a downhill specific bike are strongly recommended for all trails.

Uplift services are run regularly at Innerleithen by 'Uplift Scotland'. Booking essential. See www.upliftscotland.com for more details and booking.
