Bring On Australia’s Biggest MTB Festival! What’s Going Down At Cannonball 2025…

Posted on 29 Oct, 2024 in Biking

Alert the group chat… Registration is now open for the 2025 Cannonball MTB Festival presented by Boost Mobile!

Going down from February 10 – 15, this mammoth week offers a next level lineup of racing and good times. If you know, you know!

Here’s everything to get pumped for at Cannonball 2025…

An All-New Enduro Format

It’s the Osprey All-Mountain event, but not as you know it! We’ve completely reimagined this race format into a three-stage enduro event from top-to-bottom! Testing strength and stamina from Eagles Nest to Valley Terminal, this course will be seriously challenging with some of the best singletrack found in the country. 

New Hero Trail Sections On The Fox Flow Course

The Fox Flow Motion Cup course has gotten a serious upgrade! Offering a variety of new sections, this race course promises fast action from start to finish. Expect huge berms and long traverses that will take some hard pedalling. 

The Maxxis Dual Slalom Is Here To Stay

After a seriously successful debut last year, we’re pleased to say the Maxxis Dual Slalom is back and here to stay! Racers, you’ll be going head-to-head on the Friday Flat ski slope, promising plenty of off-camber grass turns, drifting and non-stop action.

All Your Favourite Races

The racing schedule is non-stop all week with all your all-time favourites on the lineup! The Oakley Pump Track Challenge, the RockShox Australian Open Downhill and the Deity Whip Wars will keep heating up the fiery competition each day.

The World’s Best In Action

Every year, the amount of pro riders competing at Cannonball grows exponentially with some insane names on the start list. Even if you’re not competing, experiencing the Cannonball action while cheering from the sidelines is always a good idea. The atmosphere is electric and grows all week, finishing with an absolute cracker of a day on Saturday with two major events.

Our favourite spectator events? The Maxxis Dual Slalom, the Oakley Pump Track Challenge, the RockShox Australian Open DH and the Deity Whip Wars! Stay tuned for the full 2025 rider lineup being announced soon.

Non-Stop Good Times, Parties & Live Music

If you’ve been to Cannonball before, you’ll know that the fun is just getting started on the track. Every day, there’s a massive schedule of events and entertainment in the village including daily live music, pro rider meet & greets, huge prizes and giveaways from our MTB partner brands, a thriving event hub to hang out in and lots more.

Wrapping up a huge week, you can’t miss the Official Cannonball Closing Party presented by Balter Brewers at Alpine Bar on Saturday night featuring a special headline act that will be announced soon. Stay tuned!

A Massive Network To Explore

Despite the racing, there is still a massive chunk of the trail network open to the public for riding all week! Even if you’re not competing, make sure to bring your bike and get some laps in.

A Word From Enduro World Champion Jack Moir…

“Getting super keen for Cannonball 2025! Hands down the biggest/funnest race of the year in Aus. Always a mega turn out of world cup riders and fans, which makes for a great atmosphere, and provides the best pre season preparation! With the addition of a 3 stage gravity enduro race from the top of the Kosci chair, it’s going to be better than ever this year. Cya there!” – Jack Moir
