About the event

The Fox Superflow(TM) is Australia’s most popular gravity enduro series, and the 2022 Rocky Trails Superflow season is going to rock your world. This event will feature many of the ‘must-ride’ trails at the Mt Taylor MTB Park.

Fox Superflow(TM) is racing the way you ride. Ride up at your own pace. Drop in with your buddies on each other’s tyre or leave a space to pin. It’s about doing party trains, railing berms and SENDING IT!

This is friendly enduro racing without a tight schedule. You can pick the order in which to tackle the race stages, which makes this event social and action-packed at the same time. Do up to five runs per stage, the fastest one counts, and there are no start orders, which means whatever category you’re in, you can ride together and lock your own best race run in. At this Fox Superflow event you can do your 5 race runs on one day or spread over the 2 days.

Get ready for an absolute adrenaline rush as you smash down the Mt Taylor race tracks to hunt down those precious seconds for the win!

Location & how to get there

The Shire of East Gippsland extends from the western watershed of the Mitchell and Thomson River catchments east and north to the New South Wales border.

Mt Taylor is home to the Mt Taylor Mountain Bike Park, just 15 minutes north of Bairnsdale, which is the main city of the region. Mt Taylor MTB Park has a downhill track, a flow trail, and two cross-country tracks. The main climb up Mt Taylor is popular for both bushwalkers and fitness riders as it climbs 300m elevation in 2.7km. At the base of the hill is the car parking area, known as ‘Boys Camp.’ There is a drop toilet and free camping, but no running water.
