Awards for all Downhill categories will be presented at the Downhill finish area stage approximately one hour after race finish, and passenger shuttles (Saturday-Sunday only) will be provided for family and friends.
The SRAM Downhill course will continue to place a priority on athlete fitness, precision handling, braking, and pedaling skills.
Over the years, the Downhill at Sea Otter has tested the world's best; sometimes it’s the conditions as much as the course. The SRAM Downhill course will continue to consist of a great mix of jumps, turns, pedaling sections, hi-rev speed traps, and a challenge or two on the way down!
