🚲 Connecting straight out of Frank N' Furter into Riff Raff—one of the most exposed and intimidating Grade 5 trails in Rotorua!
Dropping 161 meters over 930 meters, this run drops away down a series of steep, tight switchbacks. While recent trail maintenance has groomed the turns and made them a bit more forgiving than they used to be, the exposure will still get your heart rate going! Even with young trees starting to fill in the hillside, seeing the sheer drop below you is enough to test anyone with a fear of heights.
Here is the full, raw, uncut point-of-view (POV) preview so you can gauge the steepness, sightlines, and switchbacks on Riff Raff before dropping in. 🚴♂️💨
❓ Let me know in the comments: Do exposed, steep switchbacks get your adrenaline pumping, or do you prefer keeping your wheels on flatter ground?
📊 Trail Rating for Average Riders:
• 🛠️ Tech Level: Full Grade 5 – Steep gradient, sharp switchbacks, and continuous off-camber exposure.
• 🚴 Physical Effort: High – Heavy brake control and constant body weight adjustment down the entire 161m drop.
• ⚠️ Feature Alert: Exposure & height risk! If you suffer from vertigo or hate steep drop-offs, consider skipping this one!
