Welcome to Thornielee Enduro trails, part of the famous Tweed Valley trail network. Undoubtedly these trails are up there with some of the best trails in Scotland and the UK and should definitely be on any riders must-ride list!
If you are looking for new MTB destinations or fancy revisiting some classic mountain bike trails, Thornielee has to be on your 2022 list.
0:00 Intro
2:03 Tiger King Trail Thornielee
5:04 Sessioning Lower Definition at Thornielee
6:21 Stones and Bones Trail Thornielee
9:00 Thornielee Lower Definition
11:13 Bench Press at Thornielee
The trails here have a pretty unique feel about them and there is quite a range of trails to find challenge on. The top half of the hill has a more mellow gradient whereas the bottom half of Thornielee forest can get very steep, very quickly! Al the trails feel pretty natural and all have a mix of loose rock and rooty sections.
In this video we ride 4 fantastic Thornielee trails - Tiger King, Lower Definition, Stones & Bones and Bench Press.
If you are new to my videos then expect to see high quality riding vlogs shot in the same style as McTrail Rider, Paul the Punter and BKXC. I try to travel to the best MTB locations in Scotland finding you the best mountain biking trails.
The video was shot on a GoPro Hero 7 mounted on the chin of an Endura MT500 full face helmet.

Great video and amazing looking trails. Curious what tyres/pressures and liners your using? I’m running various compound Maxxis tyres (DD/Exo3c) at 25/28psi with Vittora airliners. I’m on a roll of tearing tyres at the minute and it’s getting expensive! Maybe it’s my technique but I’m also a HT rider and think I’m fairly smooth and quick? Cheers
@streetpigeonmtb
@streetpigeonmtb 2 года назад
Hey man. Tyres is a complicated one isn't it! I'm 78kg. The following might surprise you as I run a pretty light setup. Shorty 2.4 front, DHR2.4 rear, both EXO 3C. 19psi front, 22 rear (although I run much higher on mountains 26psi/28psi). Also, no inserts. Just tubeless 👍
