About the event

SPECIALIZED - Winter Gravity Series - Downhill
Downhill Race Update – Bigger & Better!

We’re cranking things up for the final round of the 2025 Specialised Winter Gravity Series – Downhill on Saturday, 6th September, and Sunday, 7th of September.

Entries increased from 145 to 250 riders

Event extended to two days to allow for practice, seeding, and race runs

Additional entries now available at $65 – price reflects the expanded 2-day format. If you have already entered, then your entry covers both days.

You can still choose to race Sunday only, but as you will not have a seeded time, you will drop at the start of your category



Top to Bottom. Flat Out.

This is your classic no-frills, full-throttle, hold-on-tight DH race. Pick up speed from the top, stay off the brakes, and keep it clean to the finish line. Fastest rider wins—simple as that.
