The 2023 South African Downhill Mountain Bike Championships took place in Sabie, Mpumalanga over the weekend. Riders were met by a brand new track, built specifically for the race. Wet weather did throw a spanner in the works resulting in a challenging but successful race weekend.

The new track was 2.6kms long with 290m of elevation drop, and featured natural off camber sections with roots and rocks, a motorway, a steep and technical bottom section, and finished off with fast flowing singletrack and jump/ berm bike park section.
