The summer season of the iXS European Downhill Cup is entering its most intense phase. EDC #5 in Szczyrk takes place at a venue that has already made its mark on the World Cup circuit in recent years.

For many years, the Bike Festival in Willingen has hosted a round of the iXS Downhill Cup. This year, too, the race was completely sold out with around 500 participants from 25 countries and provided what was arguably the most action-packed event of the festival.

The fourth round of the 2026 iXS European Downhill Cup heads to Les Orres, France—a spectacular venue featuring one of the toughest courses on the entire calendar. From July 10–12, riders and spectators will enjoy a highly anticipated event on French soil. Registration is now open!
