- Cut Gate has probably made more appearances in MBR than any trail in the UK. And with good reason - It has all of the vital ingredients that make it a ‘must-do’ route, plenty of singletrack, technical sections and above all, stunning views. This is classic mountain biking, as good as you’ll find anywhere in the British Isles, and within easy reach for most of the English population.
The only issue with the route is which way to ride it, and this is even more an issue if, like most of us, your time is limited. Normally ridden as a point to point, we’re going to loop it so we cram in the best of the trails. This will give us a monster 28 mile Killer Loop with over 1200 metres of climbing.
We do have to mention that this is a route only really to be attempted in the dry. There are a couple of parts that have been prone to excessive erosion due to bikers, walkers and horse riders when the ground is wet and boggy, so it’s best to keep away when it’s been raining. If you’re not sure, check with websites such as Keeper of the Peak, they will tell you when it’s okay to ride.
A ride as epic as this could be classed as an all-dayer but as we mentioned, our time is, well, a bit limited. So we’ve brought a couple of secret weapons to make the task that much more achievable - the extremely capable Focus’ Sam2 6.9 and Vitus’ E-Sommet VR.
This is one of those times when the obvious advantages of an e-bike come into play. When attempting epic rides in inspirational landscape, having that added power can help condense the pure essence of a true adventure and distil it into something you can capture within those precious moments.

I love Ebikes. Finally bought one for myself and ride it everywhere. Best toy ever. Thanks for the video. Liked and Subscribed. :-).
We ride cutgate at least once a month, have done for the last few years come sun rain or snow...55 now, dodgy knee.... ebike is looking good👍🏻👍🏻
Wonder why there were several dislikes was it the music or the motion sickness inducing camera
Best single track in the UK. Honestly you believe that?
This esommet is way nicer than the 2021 model
Is the calibre bossnut v2 a good first full suspension mtb
Yes. I genuinely believe you can't get a better bike for the money. I have a Canyon Spectral and having ridden my brother's Bossnut V2 a number of times, it seriously impressed me. Don't let the shorter travel put you off, it is still very capable and the spec is sorted. The only thing you might want to upgrade is the tyres as the WTB's are a bit heavy. Also the paint quality is poor, so it attracts chips and scratches very easily. But it feels nimble and playful and I actually found it more 'poppy' and lively that my Spectral (which was more than twice the price). I hit some DH runs at Stainburn in North Yorkshire on it and it took it all in its stride.
Guys get a gimbal or latest go pro with the stability etc ......
You cant beat the Peak District... Yorkshire Dales says hold my beer. Better scenery and Trails.. mic drop.
Doing 28 miles loop on ebike with 1200 meters vertical and calling it "monsterous" is an absolute joke, sorry.
Pair of quims on ebikes
Please calm down on the drunk gimbal operator talking heads sections. Makes me feel sick.
