Bentonville Bike Fest

Absolute strength, power, skill, insight, balance, explosiveness and patience are just a few of the skills that are required to master the UCI Trials Pro competition.

Besides being a very difficult sport to practice, it's undoubtebly the best spectator sport. Riders will challenge an obstacle course consisting of huge boulders, logs, concrete pipes and other difficult objects. The goal is to overcome them without setting foot on the ground within a 2-minute time limit. North Americas’ best trial riders will participate alongside the best international riders, reigning world champions and other super stars. Among the favorites in the men’s field are Alejandro Montalvo (ESP - multiple-time UCI World Champion), Eloi Palau (ESP - UCI Trials World Champion 20 - 2022), Niilo Stenvall (FIN - multiple-time UCI Trials World Cup finalist). In the women’s competition, Vera Baron (ESP - 2025 UCI Trials World Cup Overall Champion), Nina Vabre (FRA - 2025 UCI Trials World Cup finalist) are considered the leading contenders for victory.

The festival will also debut the Red Bull Double Down Dirt Contest, featuring many of the biggest names in freestyle BMX and dirt riding. The international field includes Ryan Williams (AUS), Dennis Enarson (USA), both multiple X Games gold medalists, Kieran Reilly (UK - Olympic silver medalist 2024 in BMX Freestyle). Hannah Roberts (USA - multiple UCI BMX Freestyle World Champion), Patricia Druwen (GER) are the womens’ favourites competing at Red Bull Double Down Dirt Contest.
