Planning for the new season has been running at full speed in recent weeks and months. Now the calendar has finally been finalised. Seven races are on the programme and for the first time in a while, the series will be heading to Austria. This means that the series will be travelling to four countries and taking participants to some very beautiful regions.

Next year, the iXS Downhill Cup comprises a total of 7 races. These will once again include absolute classics, such as the legendary race in Ilmenau with subsequent stage-diving. In Winterberg, the Cup will once again be a guest at the iXS Dirt Masters Festival and in Willingen, the race will be a highlight of the bike festival. The third round returns to Spicak, the former European Cup venue with a really challenging course. A new location is in Austria. Lienz has never hosted a DHC race before. Racing fans can celebrate the end of the season next year in Bellwald, Switzerland, which will once again be the venue for the grand finale of the iXS Downhill Cup.
Furthermore, there will once again be two cancelled results in the coming season, meaning that five seeding runs and five race runs will be counted towards the overall classification.
The first race of the iXS Downhill Cup 2025 is here! Willingen provides the perfect stage for the first race of the season with the Bike Festival. Johannes Fischbach and Maxima Jaax show you the new course in the Sauerland.
The new season of the iXS Downhill Cup 2025 kicks off this weekend in Willingen. The traditional race is not only the perfect start to the series, but is also fully booked. Those who take part can look forward to a tried-and-tested course, a great location and pure race feeling!
The third round of the iXS Downhill Cup 2025 takes us to Spicak, Czech Republic, from 4 to 6 July. The traditional course in the bike park on Špičák Mountain is a firm favourite in the series - technically demanding, spectacular terrain and always good for exciting races. Registration is now open!
