Warbie is Firing: Warburton Bike Park Launches 70km Expansion & Shuttles
Melbourne riders, rejoice. Nearly a decade in the making, Warburton Bike Park has officially unlocked its massive 70km trail expansion alongside the launch of its brand-new shuttle uplift service.
Located just 1.5 hours east of Melbourne's CBD in the spectacular Yarra Valley, Warburton (or "Warbie" as the locals call it) is rapidly transforming into a world-class riding destination. Thanks to the heavy lifting by the Yarra Ranges Council and trail builders World Trail, the park now boasts over 70 kilometres of pristine singletrack cutting through iconic giant ferns and towering mountain ash forests.
The Shuttle Era Begins
The big news for gravity fed shredders is the official launch of the shuttle uplift service. No more grinding up the steep alpine access roads—now you can save your legs for the descents. The shuttles give you fast, easy access to the Mt Little Joe trail network, allowing you to maximize your gravity miles on some of the tackiest dirt in the state.
What's on the menu?
The newly expanded network has something for everyone, but the standouts are the high-speed flow lines and raw, technical descents:
- The Flow Classics: Expect massive, beautifully sculpted berms, tabletops, and high-cadence rollers that let you carry serious speed.
- Technical steepness: Off-camber root sections and steep loamy chutes that will put your bike control and tyre pressure to the ultimate test.
Dial Your Cockpit for Warbie's Dirt
High-speed shuttle days demand a solid setup. If your bars are feeling narrow or your feet are slipping on those massive, high-speed berms, it’s time for an upgrade before you head out to the Yarra Valley.
Our recommendations for the ultimate Warbie setup:
- Handlebars: Swap your stock bar for the wide, stiff WAKE Alloy Handlebar (780mm) for proper high-speed leverage.
- Grips: Get a solid, tacky connection with our dual-density Bucklos Lock-On Grips to eliminate hand slip in damp forest air.
- Pedals: Keep your feet glued to your rig with the wide-platform ENLEE Enduro Flat Pedals.
- Bling: Check out our complete MTB Performance Hardware Collection to match your anodised cockpit colors.
Pack your gear, book your shuttle ticket, and go get some of that fresh Victoran loam. See you on the hill.
