Celebrating 10 years since its beginning in the Welsh hills, Red Bull Hardline will welcome thousands of bike fans to Maydena Bike Park, Tasmania on February 24, 2024. Here is all you need to know:
Widely recognised as the toughest downhill mountain bike race in the world, Red Bull Hardline demands absolutely everything from the most skilled downhill riders.
For those competing in Tasmania, this event will be a new course with new challenges to face.
The invite-only event includes 26 riders who will compete in both the Australia and UK competitions, and 12 wild card riders who will compete only in Australia.
Riders from Australia and New Zealand make up many of the wild cards picks, with the likes of Tassie local Dan Booker, Harriet Burbidge-Smith from Canberra and Remy Morton on the list.
“Red Bull Hardline is the pinnacle event for MTB riders. I am truly so excited to see Australia host this in 2024 and in a location like Tasmania. It will no doubt come with its challenges, but this is what us riders train and work so hard for.”
Multiple Crankworx event champion Harriet Burbidge-Smith shares her excitement to be chosen as a wild card rider:
“Red Bull Hardline has a global reputation for being the ultimate test in downhill mountain biking. Tasmania has long been a bucket list destination for mountain biking because of our unique environment and hospitality, and now the best in the world are coming to prove themselves at Maydena. I am confident that this is set to be the best Red Bull Hardline yet.”
Nic Street, Minister for Stadia and Events Tasmania, said:
