Drop the Hammer - Double Black

Located in Coler Mountain Bike Preserve, Drop the Hammer is one of the most iconic expert-level lines in Bentonville—and a true destination trail for riders looking to push their limits.

Right from the start, this trail makes its intentions clear. A massive ~13-foot drop sends you straight into a ravine, setting the tone for what’s to come. From there, the trail works its way back and forth across the terrain, linking together technical features, precise line choices, and high-consequence moments that demand full commitment.

This isn’t a trail you casually roll into—it’s one you scope, session, and build up to. Riders who come prepared will find a line that rewards confidence, control, and experience, delivering one of the most memorable descents in the Coler system.

Drop the Hammer has earned its reputation as a must-ride for advanced riders visiting Bentonville. It’s the kind of trail that draws a crowd, tests your skillset, and leaves a lasting impression whether you ride it clean—or walk away with a new goal.
