Red Bull Cerro Abajo Stuttgart

Spectacular jumps, tight bends and high speeds: the Red Bull Cerro Abajo urban downhill series celebrates its German premiere in Stuttgart. At the season finale in September, the world's mountain bike elite will decide the title on a specially designed course with special chicanes through the state capital.

From South America to Swabia: Red Bull Cerro Abajo, the world's largest urban downhill mountain bike racing series, is coming to Germany for the first time for the season showdown on September 5 and 6. At the last of a total of four international stops, MTB riders from all over the world will battle for the world championship title and create a real action zone in Stuttgart on a route from the Teehaus to Wilhelmsplatz. High speeds, tight bends, difficult obstacles and chicanes challenge the athletes and provide plenty of adrenaline in the lanes. Three-time German MTB champion Johannes Fischbach will be the German hopeful at the start to compete with series stars such as Tomáš Slavík and conquer the challenging course.

An urban downhill line like the one in Stuttgart has never been seen before in Germany. Over asphalt and concrete, through tight bends and up steep stairs, the trail leads past local hot spots in the city. In between, the riders have to overcome man-made obstacles as well as those that only an urban environment can offer - from drops and road gaps to doubles. The pros reach spectacular speeds of up to around 60 kilometers per hour. In the end, technique, courage and the perfect choice of line decide who crosses the finish line as the fastest person and wins the world championship title with the best time.
