Progression Taken to the Next Level
When the world's most creative riders come together on one of the most spectacular MTB setups of the year, you know it's time for Swatch Nines. Once again, Bike Republic Sölden will become the epicenter of mountain bike progression, bringing together the best in freeride, slopestyle, MTB and BMX. For GHOST Bikes, this partnership is a perfect match, as the event embodies the same values that define our brand: creativity, community and the passion to push boundaries.
An Event Without Pressure – But Full of Innovation
Since its inception, Swatch Nines has followed a unique concept. It's not about race times, points or podium finishes. Instead, the focus is on what truly drives mountain biking forward: new ideas, new tricks and the collective progression of the sport.
Athletes from around the globe travel to Sölden to ride a purpose-built setup that has been developed in close collaboration with riders, trail builders and designers. The result is a playground designed to unlock creativity, inspire innovation and make the seemingly impossible possible.
Bike Republic Sölden: The Perfect Stage
With its stunning alpine terrain, legendary trails and deeply rooted bike culture, Bike Republic Sölden provides the ideal backdrop for Swatch Nines. Massive jumps, creative lines and the breathtaking scenery of the Ötztal Valley come together to create one of the most unique environments in mountain biking.
The custom-built freeride and slopestyle features in the Dirt District have been developed alongside the athletes themselves, offering endless opportunities for progression, creativity and unforgettable moments. This combination makes Sölden one of the most exciting destinations on the international mountain bike calendar.
Built by Riders, for Riders
Swatch Nines thrives on athlete input. Months before the event begins, ideas, sketches and feedback are incorporated directly into the course design. The result is an environment that encourages creativity while preserving the unique spirit that has made Swatch Nines legendary.
This is where the boundaries between freeride, slopestyle and BMX blur, and where riders continue to land tricks that redefine what is possible on a bike.
