Brake Test Challenge: Mountain Bike vs. E-MTB on Old Exit into New Exit | Rotorua
In this exciting video, we compare the eMTB and traditional MTB on one of Rotorua's favorite trails! Join us as we delve into the braking benefits and challenges of each bike while navigating the twists, turns, and descents that make this trail so popular.
Can the eBike's bigger brakes handle the terrain better, or does the traditional mountain bike hold its own? Watch to find out!

So good! I’m just here for the ride along with ya bro and loved every second of it
Always good to have you along for the ride Bro!
love this track in was in my enduro couse for nationals.
Such a good link eh!!
I'm impressed how precise you were with your lines on each bike. Sweet comparison!
Next time I’ll have to try it on a steeper chunkier trail
Results were sooooo close - still surprising!
The eMTB really held its own with that brake set up!
pretty keen to put 220mm rotors on the MTB after that
Really interesting to be able to see short, sharp, (early?) braking. Worth the watch! :)
Glad you enjoyed it! It means you can spend a lot more time off the brakes actually accelerating 💪
I wish I could ridden it with Mac. 😔
😢 a real loss. It was great to go and visit her down there and ride a few trails with her. It was heaps of fun.
@@NewZealandMountainBiking this just keeps her spirit alive for all her friends.❤️
The helicopter you flowing used to be the greenlea rescue helicopter
That is pretty cool
I appreciate the trails are in a working pine plantation, but I can't help imagining how more incredible this trail would be surrounded by native bush.
The Department of Conservation is working on some big changes to allow more trails for bikes on conservation land. So hopefully your dream becomes a reality sooner than you think.
Love ya channel Jamie! Just recently got down to roto for a 5 night stay and to hit the trails for the 1st time. What a mint few days! My wife and 6yr old son loved this trail (as did i), was great for their confidence and to up their riding abilities a bit more
Thanks! That is awesome to hear. This trail in particular is great for that too.
Honestly, if I had to tell the truth, I’m addicted to mountain biking too but primarily downhill mountain biking
We have a real problem! At least it's a healthy problem
My 61/2 yr old grandson likes this track, gets some good speed, part 2 he likes a little better😊
Some people find the view off of those corners a little too inviting. My dad is 67 and he loved it too! It's a great one for a lot of people!
@@NewZealandMountainBiking I’m 64 and really enjoying riding at whakarewarewa, got in some good jump practise at Dodzys skill park last time
Look like fun trails. Do you have any gnarly/rocky/rooty trails like in BC Canada? Seem like mostly flow trails in NZ?
Good question - it's not all like this one. Check out this trail... czcams.com/video/RGs9I5d2Fn8/video.htmlsi=Nc0ONth9OgmjV76e
Hey Man. Does this track start in the main redwoods carpark? Wanna give it a jam
Hey Ryan - It starts from the top of the Public Shuttle drop off. It is heaps of fun so you should definately hunt it out or book on with a guide like myself. Let me know if you want more info
Cheers🍻 man. Gonna ride this Saturday. Chur
I need to make a trip this summer aye
Any time!
Just another day in paradise
Rippin down on some hero drit
Trouty is my favourite, starts easy and ramps up.
And those views 👌👌
Kudos for commentary whilst flying downhill.
So fun!
piddling on Troutie. That be enough of that
😂😂 excuse the accent
Rode this 3 weeks ago. Now one of my favourites.
I remember when I first started it was so hard to ride and rough as guts. It was a great project and became a favourite and then it just got better and better 🤙
Rode this today. Tiny bit rutty and slippery in places, but overall rode well and it's a pretty part of the bush 😁
I reckon tiny bit is an understatement. It’s definitely got a few good ruts in it that pack a 👊 glad you enjoyed it and them 🙌
Now do this on a hardtail
If I get the chance I’ll let you know. I rode a few things on the hardtail a few years ago and man it’s loose! I moved it on though because I got sick of the drivetrain maintenance and stuck with my katipō. I have to be honest, it’s way more forgiving too!
Is there a video of anyone doing the massive drop on this track
If you scour insta or TikTok you might find something. It’s been run for sure but not by many and not often
Has anyone ridden the hero drop!? I want to see some footage
Me too. That thing is huge!
Yeah man, looks gnarly as!
@@davefellows So gnarly eh
Looks like fun have you done anxiety and you should make a vid on it.
Done it but no video yet sorry.
Haha epic. But I'll stick to Te poaka 😅😅
Te Poaka is a great time!! I should do another one on there for you too 🤙🤙
@@NewZealandMountainBiking yeah it's super fast and flowing, plus open to us older and more risk adverse types 😉 A really good idea would be to do a video guide of the redwoods, because it's one of those areas that the inside scoop goes a long way to a good time. But whatever you do, keep up the content 👍👍
If you’ve got the time, you could sift through the videos on the channel but we do offer guiding as one of our services so we do have a lot more knowledge up our sleeves.
I’m flying from Vancouver to Auckland in February. Thinking of riding here a few days before heading further south.
I’d highly recommend it. You could easily spend a week in Rotorua before heading south. Check out the trips we run for some ideas. They’re on the NZMTB.com website
Do it. The trails in Rotorua are insane, the place is HUGE!
awesome tracks up there in rotovegas
So much variety and quality 💪
I could watch this one all day!!! 😊
🤣🤣
Sam’s chat 😂😂😂😂
It’s so funny eh
This is so cool
🔥🔥
Holy moly. Spicy as. Mean riding boys! 🤘
Looks fun!
Are you up next on Box of Birds??
So cool you guys should do Taniwha downhill
there are some sick lines in there for sure
Kia Ora mate
Kia ora!!
Ok using the chicken is hilarious and perfect
Works well eh 🤣🤣
I’m ridding this trail today for the first time I heard it is kind of hard to get to
It’s a small climb from any direction but not too far
@@NewZealandMountainBiking yea but I’m 11 I loved it but my mum hated it
Was it a bit too far for her? Try her on road side challenge
@@NewZealandMountainBiking No she just hates downhill mountain biking she said that she doesn’t like going downhill fast so yeah, she said she’ll never take me on it again sad
Maybe you could send her on a lesson with me and I’ll help her with some skills to give her more confidence
You have some beautiful places for fun
We sure do! Have you been here before?
Hey there! I just wanted to share that I've been riding mountain bikes for about 5-6 years now, and I recently had a lesson with Jamie that completely changed my perspective. I thought I knew it all, but boy was I wrong! I now have a newfound appreciation for the skills I learned in my first lesson and feel like a smarter, smoother rider because of it. I can't wait for my next lesson with Jamie and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to up their mountain biking game. Thanks, Jamie!
Thanks for sharing!
Sooo much flow! Thanks man I worked hard to make that happen...but that's the feedback that brings a smile to my dial... cheers Hoz
Btw, love the moto brapps...moto is part of my background and that no doubt influenced my design decisions...of course I had to massage all that into the cycleways design criteria...although the digger crews often did not deliver on my design approach. But overall it worked out okay, and is fun to blast through....
best sounding bike on the market 🥰
🤫
How can you do that and talk at the same time?😅
🤣 i don’t find it very hard. Staying relaxed is key 👌
It is good to see that you’re not choking the chicken 😅
Be kind to the chicken 🐔🤣🤣
Next time add some pictures of the dog following you 😊
Good idea!!
great video! So good to see the kiwi friends loving it too!
It was a lot of fun over there. I always like to ride new trails
V tasty looking stuff…. ran into a Wgtn guy start of t Maitland few months ago + he gave Wainuiomata t thumbs up/ cool advice
Wainui is great and so close to the city
my frined justin robertson crashed on the rock garcden gap jump just after the first skinnjy XD
Oh noo 🫨
Before or after?

What’s the name of the trail in this vid, looks like fun.
It’s old into new exit

Thanks
Thank you 🙌
Wish I knew this earlier thanks guys
