Enduro-ish trails around Sedgefield and Knysna

[ChristiaanSt]

Can anyone recommend specific trails around the Sedgefield and Knysna area? We do more enduro type riding so climbing is only a means to get there, we looking for the more technical downhills (double black, black and red etc)

Any info would be appreciated.

Witfontein forest in George. Basically the front side of the mountain beneath the tower. Plenty trails in the categories you mention. Very janky, rocky, techy and steep fun.

Closer to Knysna and Sedgefield there is Garden Route Trail Park by Karatara, which is much less techy from what I can recall, but still a must stop destination if you're in the area. It is a prime trail destination.

Garden Route Trail Park has a few large jumps and berms and some lovely flow line riding, but I also wouldn't call it technical in the rocky / rooty sense.

Hmm, if you want, drop me a DM and I'll give you some contact info for people in the area. 

I lived in Sedgefield for about a year recently. There are amazing trails in Witfontein and surrounding areas, especially if you're willing to suffer a bit with a bike on your back. You can do 1000m+ descents around there with a bit of effort. 

Shuttle runs on the on Phantom Pass DH trail. Pass to pass. There is also an insane trail at the top past Tierkop.

Some idea of what Witfontein is like.

hahahahaha I love that. Imagine hikers doing unsanctioned 'maintenance' to MTB trails to make it more hiking friendly.
