440 Classic Racing
With heritage deep within New Zealand MTB culture, most riders can look back and wonder how they survived on rigid frames and cantilever brakes. One thing is for sure the stories that these bikes left behind are the stuff of legends, nows is the time to throw a leg over your retro machine and make a new story with like-minded riders all looking for a piece of the glory, heck, just surviving will be a good tale.
The 440 Classic Racing festival will be an all-out blast with a Kamakazy / Mount Downhill style race down the Gavel Gauntlet, classes for under 2010, 2000, and 1999, plus Coaster and Klunker will all be represented, thrashed and no doubt crashed.
We invite anyone with a retro steed to sign up, show up, and throw down, all for the sake of a good time and fun on two wheels at 440.
Sign-up is now live online and registration is mandatory before racing starts.
