Known globally as the most extreme downhill race on Earth, Hardline fuses speed, precision, and sheer nerve on a 3.4 km course packed with 60 km/h descents, massive 10 m+ drops, and the kind of technical terrain that separates the brave from the fearless. The world’s top male and female riders will take on a newly redesigned top section that promises to be even more spectacular - and more punishing.
For fans, this year’s edition is bigger than ever. Expect all-access spectator zones spanning the full course, with shuttles running to the mountain summit for the best viewing angles. The festival atmosphere continues off the track too, with a wider entertainment and riding program across Maydena Bike Park, live commentary, exclusive Red Bull merch, and an energy only Hardline can deliver.
The first release of tickets has already sold out, so secure your spot now before the second release disappears - because once you’ve seen Hardline up close, you’ll never look at mountain biking the same way again.
New additions to the event include:
- Redesigned top section of the course.
- Spectator access across the entire track with shuttles to the mountain summit.
- Wider entertainment and riding program at Maydena Bike Park.
To make the journey more accessible, event organisers have introduced 200 additional camping spots just 10 minutes from Maydena, direct shuttles from Hobart, and exclusive hotel discounts for ticket holders (info at check out or read the FAQ for more details).
The 2026 edition marks the 12th year of Red Bull Hardline since its creation in Wales in 2014, and promises another unmissable showdown as the world’s most progressive male and female MTB riders push the limits on one of the most extreme courses in the sport.
