| Kirroughtree has fantastic (unrivalled?) singletrack and keeps you engaged on the climbs...the black is great fun but - in my view - to enjoy the red you have to be fit enough to "keep on the gas" and keep the pace up...otherwise certain mainly uphill bits can seem like a bit of slog. For me, the right bike for this trail is a ht with lots of travel up front...you can still hit the rock sections and single track at speed but its easier to keep the momentum than with a 6" beast (won't be taking that bike again!) |

| Just been here once but loved it. Totally agree with the other views here so far - the best bit is the black descent of Talnotry Hill. Best bit of man made singletrack I've ever ridden. That gets 5 stars on it's own for me ! |

| Some of the black is a bit beyond me in terms of skill and fitness required, but I still love this route and am determined to master it one day! |

| Rode this trail just the other day on a hard-tail in dry conditions. I’d say a hard-tail or a light XC full-susser is the right choice for Kirroughtree. To appreciate its fantastic singletrack you have to keep up your speed, and for that you need an efficient peddler. Just loved the descent from the highest point on the black route. Magic! |
