The best well known and flowy trail around. Transformed some couple years ago from a tech trail with the adage of big berms and smooth flowing lines and extended all the way down to the Biking.ie hut.

The surface is firm and hard-packed. On weekends, holidays and good weather days can be crowded with beginner riders.

EDIT: revamped once again in 2025, even better now

Without any doubt is the main trail in Ticknock.

      Completed on non-suspension Gravel Bike. 38c on front; 40c on back. Easy fun! Fast and flowy. Some rock features, but most have a line through for non-suspension. Not major drops. 100% Gravel Rideable.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
