Red Bull Hardline Australia will take place on February 23–24, heading to Maydena Bike Park in Tasmania, Australia, before the race returns to Red Bull Hardline’s home in Wales’s Dyfi Valley on June 1–2 for the second event.
Red Bull Hardline is the world‘s toughest and most progressive downhill mountain bike race. The brainchild of Dan Atherton, it was born out of a desire to smash the red tape of international racing and create a course that would challenge and excite the world’s top riders. Now in its 10th year, we welcome a brand new course at the Maydena Bike Park in the Tasmanian outback.
You can be guaranteed that Red Bull Hardline Australia will be very bit as big, gnarly and downright demanding as the original event and will continue the Red Bull Hardline legacy of progressing downhill mountain bike racing to new heights and producing a downhill race like no other.
Freshies down-under! The brand new Red Bull Hardline course is looking dialed as the world’s elite drop into the opening sessions here in the dense forests of Maydena, Tasmania.
The course has a vertical elevation of 575 meters and is 2.3 km long. The all-new course encompasses a vast diversity of forest types, terrain, and trail features, with race runs expected to be three and a half minutes long. The largest road gap on the course is 75 feet, with the biggest vertical drop being over 10 meters.
