This was our (Matt and I) first time to the bike park and we were a little apprehensive but really excited to ride and experience this awesome bike park. #mtblife #mtb #dyfi
The Dyfi bike park is a 650 acre bike park set in the heart of Dyfi forest. The bike park has been lovingly designed, sculptured and built by the Atherton family and with the history and pedigree of riding talent they have, you can 100% expect an EPIC location for stretching your shredding skills!
It’s been built by Dan Atherton so as you can imagine it’s a venue dedicated to rapid descents, with three downhill tracks and a jump line featuring a plethora of tabletops from large to monumental!
Dan has been quoted saying: “Don’t be too put off by the fact it’s black though, It’s more like Revs [Revolution Bike Park] than Red Bull Hardline.” Revs, (AKA Revolution Bike Park), is a gravity venue near Bala in North Wales with black and red grade trails, roots, tech and also where it’s mandatory to wear a full face. Dyfi Bike Park has been built in a similar style, so it’s aimed at experienced riders but you don’t have to have won a World Cup!
ONSITE:
There's a free car park, toilets, shop and cafe with hot and cold food + drinks. The trails have epic scenery and super fast/epic downhills that will have you whooping and hollering at the top of your voice! If you are into your military aircraft, you'll be in for a treat as the bike park is placed right on the flight path for the "Mach loop", where pilots put their aircraft through technical low level flight training runs through the mountains.
TRAILS:
Turns In The Ferns = RED
Super Swooper = RED
El Hippo = BLACK
50 Hits = ADVANCED / BLACK DIAMOND

Fire In The Booth = TRIPLE BLACK DIAMOND - This track has obstacles that can’t be rolled and don’t have alternative lines.

UPLIFT:
The uplift takes 12 minutes, while the jump line takes around 10minutes to get back down on. The downhill trails take the Athertons four and a half minutes… so expect to get down them in double that.
BOOK YOUR UPLIFT HERE:
www.dyfibikepark.co.uk/book/u...
Booking onto the uplift costs £36 and it’ll run on similar hours to Revs and BPW.
WHAT BIKE?:
A capable modern trail bike will be okay but an enduro bike would be more preferable. A downhill bike may be a little overkill for a lot of the tracks.
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to wear a full face helmet.
