Karmakaze Enduro 2025: Blue Skies, Brown Pow, and Big Smiles
Sunday 8th June 2025 delivered a perfect winter’s day for the annual Karmakaze Enduro, held right here at Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park. Riders were greeted with clear blue skies, crisp air, and trails in top condition—no snow, but plenty of legendary brown pow!
This is how you roll down The Rockface!
This year’s event saw riders of all ages take on a mix of fast flow, technical drops, and trail favourites across five classic stages. Junior riders (under 15) tackled four of these, finishing on a high with the crowd-pleasing Tapu descent.
Whether gunning for the podium or just out for a good time, the vibe was all about fun, challenge, and community. Thanks to everyone who turned out and made the day such a success.
