Course *

This course will be one to remember! Approx. 6km in length and a little bit of everything to keep everyone happy. You will be tested with some fast flowing downhill, enduring climbs, technical rock sections and steep descents. KT is renowned for its unforgiving rocks and lack of any real flat segments of trail. So, get those tyre pressures spot on, your lungs at the ready and hang on, this one is sure to be a thriller!

Here's a sneak preview of the course-
