Red Bull Hardline 2024: Maydena

RED BULL HARDLINE
MAYDENA 2024

Ten years ago, the Atherton brothers Dan and Gee had set about creating the gnarliest Downhill race in the world, on their home turf in Wales. Pushing the limits of what is possible, 2014's event had just 9 riders in Finals testement to the event's commitment to creating the toughest Downhill race series in the world.

A decade later and the Red Bull Hardline phenomenon is landing Down Under, Maydena Bike Park to be precise. The inaugural Southern Hemisphere event takes place 24th February and can be watched live here.

Of those 10 years of Hardline, Adam Brayton has been on the coverted Rider roster for 9 of them, an incredible achievement in itself, not least as he has troubled the podiums on more than one occassion. A crowd favourite and the UK's best loved Privateer, we are stoked that Adam will be riding his NP1 Dissent at Red Bull Hardline Maydena 2024.
