Indigo Epic Trail

[Calvin27]

How is the Indigo Epic compared to the Mt Buller Epic (Have done this one twice now) in terms of effort required ?
Is there water station at the Yack end ?

Pub at Yack end. Easier than buller epic imo.

EPIC
Took the wrong turn at the Y junction so did the Baarmutha Belter twice. So it ended up being a 77km ride.

A nice mix of machine built and handcut trails.

I'm assuming these tracks are in a pretty good state? Apparently I'm riding them in about a month.
I'm thinking hardtail, or would i appreciate some extra bounce?

Short travel dually would be the go if possible. Hardtail do able but not as fun

Can confirm that ,its not rocky but the long downhill is so fast a duallie is the go.

We'll have a crowd of idiots and i wouldn't wish that on anyone
my assumption is the vast majority will be Beechworth to Yak and then call it quits and get a lift back, and only a handful will do the full loop.

a 135mm Prime is short travel in 2025 isn't it?

heading out there in a few weeks, this time e-powered (flame suit on). Rekon won't have enough juice to do the yack to beech return, charging options at yack (plan to do a sort of top up while eating lunch).

I rode with a couple of people on Levo SLs with the 320wh batteries. We did the full route and they made it back on close to zero, running eco mode!

@rowdyflat even though there is no rain coming anytime soon, how would this ride mid-winter?
I wouldn't mind getting over there to ride it soon.

There's a lot of uphill in that downhill on the Yack side.

It's marketed as an all season trail. I've done it in torrential rain (in analogue bike lol). It's soft clay, slippery but really really fun

Its fine after rain ,its sheds rain well ,it is gritty on the Yack side and the orange clay only gets squishy if there are puddles for days.

There is only 1 significant moderate uphill just to get around a bluff near Rocky point track..
