Red Bull Hardline British Columbia at Cypress Mountain 2026
Red Bull Hardline heads to British Columbia for its first-ever event in Canada, taking on the world’s most extreme downhill mountain bike race at Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver. The course pushes the limits of what’s possible on two wheels, with elements borrowed from dirt jumping and BMX that aren’t allowed in World Cup and other UCI races: massive jumps and gaps, drops of 10 metres or more, rock gardens, and steep descents. 2026 marks the 12th year of Red Bull Hardline since it began in Wales in 2014, and the world’s most progressive male and female riders will take on the course.
