Who We Are
-
Benchmark Tracks is a proprietary, precision-engineered all-wheel track system currently in development, designed to deliver consistent, accessible riding experiences across a wide range of communities.
Built on the same principles that guide Benchmark’s trail work—clarity of intent, thoughtful design, and long-term durability—the system combines purpose-designed riding geometry with a repeatable foundation and surfacing approach. Rather than treating every track as a one-off specialty construction project, Benchmark Tracks is being developed as a scalable product platform adaptable to different sites, layouts, and community needs.
-
The goal of Benchmark Tracks is to make high-quality riding infrastructure more repeatable, scalable, and accessible—without compromising the character, flow, or quality of the riding experience.
The system is being developed to:
Preserve carefully designed geometry and consistent ride characteristics from one installation to the next
Translate specialized track design into a repeatable construction system
Integrate with established site-development and concrete construction practices
Reduce installation variability and support more predictable long-term maintenance
Help communities, schools, parks, and developments create durable riding spaces for a wide range of ages, abilities, and wheel types
-
The first Benchmark Tracks release is the V1 Pumptrack System—a beginner-focused platform developed for younger riders, first-time participants, and anyone building confidence on wheels. Its geometry and layouts prioritize approachability, rider control, intuitive flow, and progressive skill development.
This beginner-first focus reflects Benchmark’s commitment to youth cycling, school-based riding programs, and welcoming entry-level recreation. It is a deliberate starting point for a broader family of Benchmark Tracks systems designed to serve more ages, abilities, and riding styles over time.
-
Benchmark Tracks is advancing through a structured development and validation process focused on repeatability, constructability, and ride quality. Current work includes:
Engineering and constructability review
Full-scale prototyping, assembly verification, and construction trials
Controlled pilot installations and evaluation under real-world conditions
Refinement of riding geometry, installation standards, quality-control procedures, and contractor documentation
The V1 Pumptrack System is the platform’s first application, but Benchmark Tracks is not intended to be limited to a fixed catalog of layouts. Future projects may incorporate original Benchmark designs, site-specific configurations, or compatible geometry developed by experienced pump-track designers, engineers, and builders.
With the designer’s authorization and appropriate technical review, approved geometry can be adapted to the Benchmark Tracks system and delivered through qualified installation partners. This collaborative approach provides greater design flexibility while preserving design intent, repeatable construction standards, and quality control.

Partner With Benchmark Tracks
Benchmark Tracks is being developed as a licensable product platform designed for delivery through qualified regional partners. Rather than self-performing every installation, Benchmark Tracks is creating the system standards, documentation, quality-control framework, and project support needed to help approved builders deliver consistent results across different markets.
As development and patent work continue, detailed system specifications are shared selectively with qualified parties and, when appropriate, under confidentiality agreements.
We welcome inquiries from:
Communities, schools, parks, and developers interested in pilot installations
Established builders and contractors exploring future licensing opportunities
Track designers, engineers, manufacturers, and industry organizations interested in strategic collaboration or technical review
Contact Benchmark Tracks to discuss a potential project or partnership.
