Since its founding in 2011, Swatch Nines MTB has served as a friendly antagonist to the world of competitive mountain biking by creating eye-catching experimental playgrounds for athletes to express themselves and push their limits in a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere.
In 2026, Swatch Nines MTB returns to Bike Republic Sölden. With its unique terrain, iconic mountain setting, and an epic course to match, it’s a location we’re excited to come back to.
This year, Swatch Nines Bike opens its doors to the public with two special sessions at the brand-new MTB & BMX setup in Sölden.
Experience insane MTB & BMX action at dusk, illuminated by lights and fire. Expect a unique atmosphere, heavy tricks and one of the most spectacular night sessions of the summer.
Watch the world’s top MTB & BMX riders throw down on the Swatch Nines setup and enjoy the vibes up close.

When you bring amazing people together, amazing things happen. Over ten days in September, a group of elite mountain bikers, BMXers and skateboarders gathered at Green Hill Bikepark in Germany and Bike Republic Sölden in Austria with a simple mission: to set new standards for progression and creativity in their sports, and have a ripping good time doing so together.
That’s exactly what happened. In just a few days’ time, over two dozen tricks and combos never seen before in MTB were landed — a quantum leap forward for the sport. Yet beyond these incredible athletic highlights, somehow it was the vibe that mattered the most: the people, the places and the community that made these breakthroughs possible. In other words: a perfect platform for progression.
The Swatch Nines Bike set-up is a product of months of intensive collaboration between athletes, designers and park builders. The process of designing the setup begins at a creative workshop, where the first sketches are made. Afterwards the features evolve into their final form, steered by input from riders like Sam Hodgson, Tomas Lemoine, Sam Pilgrim, and Peter Kaiser.
