Crankworx World Tour

Without a pedal stroke to give them momentum, riders must move their body to race through the course and outrun their competitors.

A brand-new bespoke course for 2025 awaits riders at the RockShox Kārearea Downhill MTB race, taking place on Mount Ngongotaha at Skyline Rotorua.

The invitation-only Maxxis Slopestyle in Memory of McGazza kicks off the Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship at Skyline Rotorua Gravity Park.

Two MTB riders go head to head in a race against the clock in a bid to avoid elimination. The Specialized Dual Slalom course features an array of jumps, berms, rhythm sections and grass turns.

Pairs of riders do battle in a race against the clock. All disciplines take part in the bun fight – freeride, slopestyle, downhill and enduro riders bring their best moves to the choppy slalom course.

A new contest for 2025 is Outdoor Research Trick Showdown. Creativity and pushing boundaries is the name of the game in this invitational jam-style comp in the Boneyard.

No pedalling allowed! Two riders go head-to-head in a race to the finish using just their bodies to propel themselves along a crazy course featuring berms and rollers.

The 'crown jewel' of Crankworx is everyone's favourite slopestyle event: Red Bull Joyride. Riders perform their best tricks and stunts on a bespoke obstacle course in an intense contest.
