Multiple Locations, Multiple Sports: Swatch Nines MTB 2025 Breaks the Mold
The legendary Swatch Nines returns this September, pushing the boundaries of mountain biking and action sports once again. With two unique venues, fresh course builds, and the addition of BMX and skateboarding, Swatch Nines MTB 2025 is shaping up to be the most diverse edition in the event’s history.
Event Overview
- What: Swatch Nines MTB 2025
- When: 4-13 September 2025
- Where: Green Hill Bikepark (Germany) & Bike Republic Sölden (Austria)
- Who: A stacked roster of MTB, BMX, and skateboarding stars
Big Air in Germany, Slopestyle & Freeride in Austria
The action begins 4-6 September at Green Hill Bikepark, focusing on Big Air progression with oversized jumps, airbags, trampolines, and aerial coaches.
From 9-13 September, Bike Republic Sölden takes over with upgraded slopestyle and freeride lines shaped by Sam Hodgson, Matt McDuff, and Simon Moratz. For the first time, a skatepark joins the setup, opening space for BMX and skateboarding alongside MTB.
“Both the Slopestyle and Freeride lines just leveled up big time… the guys tested the jumps right away and just couldn’t stop riding. That’s the vibe we want.”
– Simon Moratz
Star-Studded Rider Lineup
This year’s roster includes MTB heavyweights like Emil Johansson, Tim Bringer, Dawid Godziek, Erik Fedko, and a strong women’s field featuring Alma Wiggberg, Robin Goomes, Casey Brown, and Patricia Druwen.
