Club Member Benefits

Your membership supports your local mountain biking community and also offers a range of additional benefits

Why You Should Join the Club:

First Response Unit

Imagine this: you're out on the forest trails—biking, horse riding, or walking—and you take a fall. You call 0800 Whaka 1, and in no time, you're in the care of a trained medic. Our Club funds the First Response Unit, ensuring this vital service is always available. By becoming a member, you're supporting this lifesaving service and helping keep forest users safe. Your membership is more than just a card—it's a commitment to safety for you and your loved ones.

Epic Events

When the sun’s out, we’re hosting incredible events, made possible by the hard mahi of our dedicated volunteers. Your membership fee helps fund crucial event resources like timing kits and food, ensuring these experiences run smoothly for everyone.

Rider Development

We’re all about developing the next generation of riders! Through partnerships with Tuned Rotorua, New Zealand Mountain Biking, and Let's Ride, we offer top-notch rider development programs. Your membership supports these initiatives, helping make them more affordable and accessible to young riders in our community.

Scholarships

We believe in turning dreams into reality. Whether it’s supporting riders aiming for international competitions or providing gear to local community groups, your membership fee directly funds these transformative initiatives. It’s a cycle of support—from the community, for the community.

With more riders hitting the forest trails, we’re aiming for 2000 members. Right now, we’re at 1102! Joining is easier than ever with the HivePass App, which allows for recurring donations and offers exclusive discounts—all at your fingertips.

Membership Benefits

Peace of Mind While In The Forest

The Rotorua Mountain Bike Club funds the First Response Unit in the Whakarewarewa forest.

This is funded and paid for by the club - it is not cheap! This service is
not just for club members - the FRU picks up any forest user - however
our data shows that MTB riders use the service a lot!
Being a club member gives you the peace of mind that you have supported
the service, looked after other riders in the forest and is insurance for you,
in case you hurt yourself.

Race Entries

Whether you're an avid racer looking to test your skills or just looking for a bit of fun, we have events for everyone to enjoy.

Being a club member entitles you to free entry to the summer Low Key events.

Exclusive Early Access to the Giant Gravity 2W Enduro series entry portal before its available to the general public.
