For the 2024 season we have changed the way we operate. Following a bad season in 2023 we have been left with closure or the final option to reduce running costs and trust our customers more. We will now be running the MTB centre on a trust based system. All passes can be bought through our website or via QR codes onsite. Children aged 6 and below ride for free with every adult pass purchased. For more information on passes please visit our; ‘2024 Season Passes’ or ‘Day Passes’.
The History
The Isle of Wight Mountain Bike Centre was set up back in 2011 after the island games. The centre is based on Cheverton Farm with woodland, open fields and amazing views. This provides the Isle of Wight with a place where people can go to ride purpose made mountain bike trails. Although the Isle of Wight is displayed as a cycling island there are no mountain bike trails. In September 2017 the centre came under new management as a last attempt to create this vision we have.
We believe we are creating something truly amazing and unique to the UK mountain bike scene and the Isle of Wight. Most trail centres or bike parks are either a distance loop with climbs and descents with one path that runs a certain distance or have one hill/mountain that allows riders to ride down by pushing up or getting an uplift to the top of the hill. We are creating a hybrid of the two using the multiple hills across the farmland. We hope to create two hubs with various downhill options at different difficulty grading that will be from moderate (Blue), Difficult (Red) and Very difficult (Black). This gives people the opportunity to create there own loop catered to there ability and trail preference. We have everything from:
Technical trails with wooden roll in’s, roots, tree stumps, loam and more.
Jump trails with sizable table tops, shark fin berms, drops and step downs.
Flow trails with endless fun corners and rollers to gain speed and have fun on.
