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.
