Riders from across the motu gathered in Rotorua for this pinnacle event to battle out who were to be the cross country XCO and short cross country XCC New Zealand national champions for 2025. Rotorua turned on the sunshine and their famously perfect trail conditions for the racing on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 February. We were there to enjoy the action, here’s some of our favourite photos from our favourite riders.

We had an great time at Christchurch Adventure Park (CAP) supporting an awesome bunch of privateers doing their thing in style as Crankworx kicked off it’s 2025 world tour. Now the dust has settled and we’ve got the grit out of our eyes, it’s memories and photo's to share.
