Gawton Mountain Bike Trails

Gawton Gravity Hub in the Tamar Valley near Tavistock features nine downhill tracks with everything from flowy single track, to steep technical descending.

Pump Track (Blue) - Gawton’s own pump track aimed at the younger generation of riders, however, not just built for Kids! Its been designed for all ages and to help hone those pumping skills so you can take them to the trails.

HSD (Red) - With its smooth flowing multi hit lines and easy going curves it is within the reach of most folk who have spent a few hours on a mountain bike. Ride it at speed however and it becomes a rollercoaster challenge, full of opportunities to really get the adrenalin flowing. These attributes make it as popular with the hardcore Downhill elite as it is with those just dipping their toe in the water.

Proper Job (Double Red) - Now smoother with even more flow. Rock Gardens, Big Berms, Drops and Tables. Ideal for those wanting to hone their skills before stepping up to the steep scary stuff. Once you can drop, skip and jump your way from top to bottom you know your ready to progress. 

Super Tavi (Black) - Super-Tavi represents the elite level of Downhill track in the UK. With the likes of Gee Atherton, Aaron Gwin, Danny Hart, Josh Bryceland  & many more taking on this track its become known as one of the most perfect creations in the downhill community. This is where you come if you want to test yourself against the best. There is no compromise, its all or nothing. If you fancy yourself as a handy downhill rider then this is your test.

Mega Tavi (Double Black) - The beast of the Southwest. Tagged as one of the steepest descents in the UK, this extension of Super Tavi is not for the faint hearted. Its very steep – you will definitely want to walk and talk this one through before attempting it.

Valhalla (Double Black) - The next level on from Super Tavi. Valhalla is a track sculpted by various elite and world cup riders. With 70% all natural Steep, Tech and fast flowing sections this is a new challenge for people to take on.

Egypt (Double Black) - One of the most technically challenging Downhill Tracks in the Southwest. Its root strewn path twists its way through the forest, down steep gradients, over rocks plummeting down the hill side. Egypt is a gauntlet thrown down to those who think they can ride any track at speed. It will only give itself up fully to the devoted, but once mastered it is a purists dream.

Rattler (Double Black) - The Rattler is an Intermediate/Expert jump line with Jumps of varying size and style. With gaps from 13ft to 25ft the Rattler is best suited to those comfortable in the air.

Rock n Rolla (Red to Double Black) - Gawton’s newest edition, A natural beauty! Simple scrapped and ridden in. Starting as a Red and ending as a Black its full of steep flowing turns that pushes you to become a better rider as you head down the hill. This track has developed over the months and turned into a gradient changing smiler of a track.
