Fantail is a recently rebuilt trail, made possible by generous funding from NZCT. This wide and well-graded path offers a fast and flowing ride through scenic areas of Mangamahoe Mountain Bike Park. The trail follows the riverbank upstream, initially descending into naturally rocky terrain, followed by a gentle climb to the high point, and concluding with a flowing descent through a series of well-formed berms. Its gentle terrain makes it ideal for families, beginners, and adaptive riders. When combined with the HiHi trail, Fantail forms a pleasant loop that showcases the park's natural beauty.
