it’s TIME

when life is going downhill, ride NZ’s best kept MTB secret!

MATANGI STATION MTB feels like home for riders who love raw, rocky, natural single track. There is no other place like it in New Zealand. Once you ride here things will never be the same. The scenery is spectacular and the sheer vastness of views from the top of the hills is mind blowing.

Sunset Resurrection Lap

Here’s a couple of local lads carving it up on “Resurrection”. This is one Matangi’s most popular trails - it’s fast, flowy and fun for most riders

 

RIDERS SAY…

  • "I have been mountainbiking on Matangi for 35 years. In my opinion Matangi has the best single track mountain biking in NZ because its varied and unique handmade trails are located on rocky dry slopes through areas of native scrubland incorporating historical water races and coach tracks with spectacular high country views, all easily accessible to Alexandra and its visitor amenities.”

    GORDON RAYNOR - Alexandra, New Zealand

  • “I know that 99% of people hold your farm in their heart as a very special place. Thanks for letting us soak up some of this piece of awesome New Zealand.”

    TRISTAN LEOV - Timaru, New Zealand

  • “Riding in Alex feels really connected with nature - the tracks are minimalist, with creative use of natural rock features, and the views are expansive and open. It’s incredibly unique and there are lots of options for progression and challenge. Mountain Biking on Matangi is my happy place.”

    MEGAN LONGMAN- Alexandra, New Zealand
