AUSTRIA – Swatch Nines is consistently one of the coolest events of the year for each of its individual sports. You might know it most for its contribution to the ski and snowboard world, but Swatch Nines hosts both a surf event (October 14-18) and a mountain bike event (going on right now). Of course, like the skiing, the course is absolutely insane.
The Swatch Nines MTB ’24 began on September 10 and will continue until Saturday, September 14. It highlights both freeride mountain bikers and slopestyle mountain bikers, so there will be plenty of insanity to check out. Take a look at the full athlete list here.
This year’s Swatch Nines is hosted at Bike Republic Sölden, a full bike resort in Austria. The event is just one part of the Bike Republic Sölden Festival BYND The Mountain, which brings the Swatch Nines, POC Whip-Off contest, live music, and much moire to the resort. A preview of the full Swatch Nines course is available below:
