The Elevation series is one of the coolest mountain bike race formats on the planet because it isn't hard core downhill, and not hard core uphill either. Its a great mix of 70% flowing descending trail sections, and 30% undulating trail sections. Trails are 10-20 minutes from top to bottom, on some of Australia’s BEST tracks.
Without the technical sections like a downhill course, and no massive long climbs like a cross country race, it’s the prefect event for all riders as there’s no big risks and no olympic level fitness required! That’s what makes it so much fun. The perfect bike would be a 4 5 or 6 inch travel bike, but all courses are ride-able on an xc or dh bike too. With professional transport at each round taking riders to the top of the mountain, it makes for a very social event and easily accessable to any rider.
For the 2013/2014 series we have set out to make the Elevation series the best mountain bike series in Australia. We have made a lot of amazing changes that not only make the series even better value for money, but also much more exciting racing with added classes and extra riding time each round. These changes include:
• 25% discount for entering the whole series up front (more affordable)
• Two timed runs for all riders in all classes, not just one
• Seven amazing rounds instead of five
• A professional promo film made at each round by Jake Lucas Media
• More variation in the terrain, the tracks, and the course length
• A large marquee with chairs and tables at each round
• More classes to allow racing at any age or ability level
• Pro scaffold start ramp at every round
• Fantastic food and beveridge catering confirmed for each event
• Massive inflatable finish line arch for a more exciting finish
• Helmet cam footage preview for each course (we now have a full kit to actually do it!)
• Payback system for prizes for elite men and woman
• A podium to stand on at presentation after each race
• More professional online entry system that’s easier to use
We have a class to suit every age and every ability that ride bikes. Junior age classes are Under 13, Under 15, Under 17 and Under 19. We then have Sport (beginner), Expert (intermediate) and Elite Men and Elite Woman. Then for the more matured riders, we have Veteran (over 30), Masters (over 40) and Super Masters (over 50), and of course the new "GRUDGE MATCH" class for a team of mates, where you ONLY RACE EACH OTHER, not anyone else. The age class goes on what age you are during the series. For example the age system starts on October 18, and finishes May 12. If you are 16 years old you would be under 17, but if you then turn 17 during those dates, you would be classed as Under 19.
EARLY BIRD 25% OFF FULL SERIES ENTRY FOR THE UPCOMING ELEVATION GRAVITY ENDURO SERIES IS NOW OPEN. Want to save a bundle on entering the series?
