SAVE THE DATE 7-8th FEBRUARY 2025 // RED BULL HARDLINE TASMANIA // THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST DOWNHILL MTB RACE RETURNS

Widely recognised as the most progressive downhill mountain bike event in the world, Red Bull announces Red Bull Hardline Tasmania is returning in 2025.

In the inaugural Australian race history was made with wildcard Gracey Hemstreet and Louise-Anna Ferguson becoming the first ever female riders to compete in a Red Bull Hardline Final. The fearsome individual MTB downhill competition secures a spot on the Australian MTB event fixture for 2025 as one to know. 

I absolutely loved Red Bull Hardline in Tassie, it was my first ever Red Bull Hardline and it was the most insane experience. The people were amazing, and the course was next level!! I can’t wait to see what kind of changes they make for 2025!”

Red Bull Hardline Tasmania was a pretty amazing event. It was my first time down in Australia and to this day one of my favourite tracks I have ever ridden. Jumps were sick, technical features were amazing, an all-round incredible event. To take the win was amazing, a dream come true, especially in one of the biggest races of the year. Now I have my eyes set on winning the next Red Bull Hardline Tasmania.”

In its 11th year from conception in the Welsh hills in 2014, Red Bull Hardline founder and MTB Legend Dan Atherton who built the formidable Welsh track has given his tick of approval to Maydena Bike Track.

The Tasmanian Government is excited to support the Red Bull Hardline Tasmania again in 2025. Mountain Bike tourism has grown exponentially in Tasmania over the past decade, earning our State a reputation as Australia’s mountain biking capital. Red Bull Hardline is renowned for hosting one of the most challenging downhill mountain biking competitions globally. The event is an exhilarating showcase of skill, and we are thrilled to have it hosted right here in our state. The Tasmanian Government is committed to supporting these important events as part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future.”

Red Bull Hardline Tasmania is a Gold Standard Trash Free Trails event. From encouraging attendees to bring their own water bottles, to training race marshalls to collect litter left along the course, to collecting old kit to donate to a local youth cycling project, the event encouraged collaboration in a bid to ensure everyone leaves the location with even more than was here when Red Bull Hardline arrived.
