"One of the toughest downhill mountain bike races on the planet is back and headed to Australia in just about 24 hours. Red Bull Hardline Tasmania 2026 returns to Maydena Bike Park in Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia, on February 7-8, bringing the kind of speed, scale, and consequence that only a race like Hardline can deliver. Part race and part proving ground, Hardline remains one of the few events in mountain biking where simply reaching the finish line is an achievement."
"Red Bull Hardline sits at the extreme edge of downhill racing. Designed to challenge the world's fastest riders with oversized features, high-speed sections, and technical terrain that is normally deemed "too much" for World Cup events, Hardline strips racing down to its most uncompromising form and amplifies the intensity. Originally launched in the forests of Wales in 2014, Hardline quickly gained a reputation as the most demanding downhill event in the sport."
Red Bull Hardline Tasmania 2026 returns to Maydena Bike Park in Lutruwita/Tasmania on February 7-8, delivering extreme downhill racing with significant speed, scale, and consequence. The event mixes race and proving ground aspects where finishing is itself an achievement. Course builders craft purpose-built terrain to test riders through oversized features, high-speed sections, and technical lines generally considered too extreme for World Cup courses. Originally launched in Wales in 2014, the event built a reputation as the sport's most demanding downhill competition. The expansion to Tasmania created a second permanent home that complements the race's no-compromise identity with steep gradients, raw forest terrain, and long vertical drops.
