Crankworx Rotorua took flight in March of 2015, becoming the first festival outside of North America and Europe. Since then, it’s played host to some of the most memorable moments in Crankworx history and is now referred to “the soul of Crankworx” due to the unique ability to combine riding with culture.
Plan Your Trip
Rotorua, centrally located in the North Island, has an enviable backyard – otherworldly geothermal landscapes, 18 crystal-clear lakes and beautiful native forests.
It’s also the ultimate destination for year-round mountain biking, with more than 200 kilometres of world-renowned mountain bike trails weaving through Whakarewarewa Forest, plus Skyline Rotorua’s all-downhill MTB Park. Add to this the numerous tourism activities and attractions, and you have endless opportunities for everyone to enjoy in Rotorua.
Visiting Rotorua during the Crankworx World Tour festival is an experience that cannot be missed. Pack up your bike, get yourself a festival pass, and enjoy everything that Rotorua has on offer!
