🚵‍♂️ Hard MTB League 2025 Pro Invitational: Live Show & Celebration

Does this new format fit into the mountain bike competition sphere? Join us as we invite you into the process of figuring it out.
On October 24, 2025, 22 of the most-skilled mountain bike riders were invited to a Pro Invitational event to test their all-around bike handling abilities, as well as an all-new format of mountain bike competition…
The Hard MTB League was built to showcase the world’s most versatile mountain bikers — combining four core disciplines, Downhill Gnar, Tech Climbing, Raw Slalom, and Tech Rhythm, into one high-energy, spectator-friendly event. It’s the ultimate testing ground and stage for the riders to push themselves to their limits.
This 2025 Pro Invitational event is part of our ongoing quest to evolve the sport of mountain bike competition—and we invite everyone along for the ride…
Beyond the race event, the League will provide the athletes with dedicated coaching to help them perform at their best.
At the heart of the Hard MTB League is a mission to ignite resilience and inspire greatness. Through the performances and stories of these incredible athletes, we show that strength isn’t just about winning — it’s about overcoming and finding joy in the personal wins, both on and off the bike. Our hope is to remind people that no matter how tough life gets, they have what it takes to keep going.
