About Mountain Bike Rotorua
Mountain Bike Rotorua is the premier bike hire and trail service operator based at the Waipa entrance to Whakarewarewa Forest — widely regarded as one of the best mountain biking trail networks in the Southern Hemisphere. With a full-service workshop, retail store, and extensive fleet of rental bikes, they're the first stop for riders visiting Rotorua's legendary singletrack.
Their rental fleet covers every riding style and ability level, from simple hardtails for beginners to state-of-the-art full-suspension rigs and e-mountain bikes for experienced riders tackling the forest's more technical trails. Beyond bike hire, Mountain Bike Rotorua offers shuttle services, guided tours, skills clinics, trail maps, and pick-up points at four locations including the Waipa MTB car park, Te Putake o Tawa car park, Skyline MTB Park, and Wheelhouse Coffee.
What sets Mountain Bike Rotorua apart is their deep local knowledge of the Whakarewarewa trail network — the staff are passionate riders who can match visitors with the perfect bike and route for their ability. Whether you're a first-timer wanting a gentle forest cruise or an expert chasing technical descents, they'll set you up with the right equipment and send you to the right trails.
