About Mountain Cross
Mountain Cross, or 4X, is an exciting and emerging style of mountain bike racing in the Scottish Borders, where four competitors race downhill on a specially designed, BMX-like track. This sport utilizes either full suspension bikes with 140mm to 160mm of travel or sturdy hardtails, featuring robust frames for enhanced performance. The tracks have evolved to be rougher, providing a thrilling challenge that distinguishes Mountain Cross from traditional BMX racing. This dynamic environment may influence local planning applications related to sports facilities and recreational developments in the area.
