The Downhill is a full-on,
flat-out, no-compromise charge down the face of Aonach Mor, the 9th highest
mountain in the UK. Riders need physical strength, quick reflexes, superb bike
control and an unerring eye for the right line as they speed down the 2.8km long
course. And a lot of bottle! Most of the course is visible from the gondola (the mountain cableway used for skiing in the winter, which provides access for riders with bikes and spectators), giving great views of riders as they charge down below you. The fast top section of the course is framed by stunning views of Ben Nevis, the sea lochs of Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil and the islands of the Inner Hebrides. Rock gardens, rock slabs, big jumps and technical natural sections will provide plenty of challenges all the way to the magnificent finish section and the incredible noise of the best spectators in the world.

The 4X format aims to bring the key features of downhill mountain biking into a short head to head race that is gladiatorial in character and incredibly exciting to watch. Four riders start together and battle down a custom built course of berms, jumps, step ups and other testing features. The two fastest proceed to the next round, knock-out style, until the ultimate winner is crowned. In 2002 Fort William held the very first UCI 4X World Cup. Seven years later and the course has been doubled in length to create one of the most amazing and atmospheric sporting arenas on the planet. Fans will be picking their spot during the day, ready for the evening finals. Click here to download a PDF of the 4-Cross map
