Sam Osborne won both the XTERRA Rotorua and Asia-Pacific Tour in 2017 and 2018, with a 3rd place finish at XTERRA world championships. He's ready to hit his local trails this weekend at the Radix Nutrition XTERRA Rotorua Festival.

We headed out to Planet Bike in Rotorua to meet with Sam Osborne, as he prepares for his XTERRA Rotorua title defence. This being his home race, he got us set up on eBikes and showed us around the Whakarewarewa forest.
