NZ MTB Academy.

Accelerating mountain biking talent toward world-class performance.

NZ Launchpad proudly enables the NZ MTB Academy, a high-performance programme based in Rotorua.

We support dedicated young athletes in disciplines like downhill, cross-country, and enduro by bridging the gap between amateur and professional levels.

The Academy delivers the tailored coaching, sports science, mentoring, training camps, and education each athlete needs to advance their performance. From skill-specific coaching to psychological and physiological support, it equips riders with the tools to succeed at the elite level.
