The Red Bull Rampage is widely regarded as one of the most iconic events in the world of mountain biking, attracting top riders from around the globe to the breathtaking landscapes of Utah, USA. Since its inception in 2001, Rampage has transformed from an informal gathering into a premier competition that showcases the extreme capabilities of the sport. It celebrates not only the technical skills and athleticism of the riders but also their creativity and boldness when faced with some of the most challenging terrain imaginable.
Originally conceived as a way to push the limits of mountain biking, Rampage invites riders to design and build their own lines through a rugged landscape filled with canyons, cliffs, and natural obstacles. Each rider’s line reflects their personal style and approach to the sport, leading to a variety of unique challenges and breathtaking tricks. As the event has evolved, so too have the expectations, with riders continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible on two wheels.
The Utah desert serves as a dramatic backdrop for the event, featuring steep drops and rugged terrain that test every aspect of a rider’s skill. Competitors must carefully assess each route, jump, and landing, as the consequences of miscalculations can be severe. The environment adds an element of unpredictability; factors such as weather conditions—including wind and sudden rain—can dramatically alter the landscape and influence rider decisions.
One of the standout features of Rampage is the emphasis on innovation. Riders are encouraged to invent new tricks and push the limits of creativity. From 360-degree spins to gravity-defying drops, the event has become a stage for riders to showcase their most daring maneuvers. This creative freedom not only enhances the spectacle but also inspires the next generation of mountain bikers.
The competition aspect is fierce, with a unique scoring system that rewards difficulty, execution, and overall creativity. Riders must not only perform their tricks flawlessly but also maintain composure under immense pressure. The atmosphere is electric, filled with thousands of fans cheering for their favorite athletes, creating a thrilling environment that amplifies the intensity of the event.
While the Rampage takes center stage in Utah, Peru also boasts a vibrant mountain biking scene. The country offers a range of stunning landscapes for biking enthusiasts, from the Andes mountains to the lush Amazon rainforest. Various tour operators provide guided biking adventures that allow riders to explore breathtaking trails, ancient ruins, and vibrant local cultures. These tours offer a unique way to experience the natural beauty of Peru while enjoying the thrill of mountain biking.
Rampage has had a significant impact on the mountain biking community, serving as a catalyst for the growth of freeride biking. It has inspired countless riders to take risks and explore new possibilities within the sport. Additionally, the event has played a crucial role in popularizing MTB globally, cementing its place as a landmark event in the world of extreme sports.
In essence, the Red Bull Rampage is more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of passion, courage, and creativity within the realm of mountain biking. As each year passes, riders not only compete for victory but also aim to leave a lasting legacy, proving that in the world of MTB, the only limits are those we impose on ourselves. And for those looking to experience mountain biking in diverse and stunning environments, Peru offers an array of exciting biking tours that showcase the country’s natural wonders.

All transportation, accommodation, meals and especially having a ticket into Machu Picchu and the train and transport back to Cusco meant there was no detail i had to do. And I cannot forget the adventure!! I was so happy with Americo that he organised every other tour for me. I went to Peru see amazing places, which Americo delivered and I left knowing I have a friend always in Peru. If you have a chance, ask Americo about Urubambaann h2023-09-09what an adventure A total of three days of cycling with Americo, 1 day of Sacred Valley, 1 day of Red Valley and a day at the Siete Laguna. Beautiful environment. Americo takes you further into nature than any other guide ever would. The downhill character is of a high level, but everyone does this at their own pace. Highly recommended for real adventurers.Oliver P2023-08-31Sacred valley black downhill mountain biking tour I did the sacred valley black downhill mountain biking tour. Americo was an awesome guide and we rode some amazing trails. I did fall once though and cut my arms quite badly. However we were riding again straight away and even visited a pharmacy to get my arms cleaned up. The bikes were top notch and serviced to the highest level. If you want to ride some unforgettable trails I highly recommend this tour!!Mobile004365554122023-06-23Top De enige echte manier om sacred valley te bezoeken. Americo brengt u naar plaatsen waar je de hele dag alleen rijdt en je voelt je in het paradijs. Ook is hij een topgids die veel geduld heeft en je veel assisteert. Een echte aanrader dus!Omri V2022-10-12First Downhill in my life, could not have been better I went on single day Downhill tour, which apart from the astonishing and unique ride consisted of a great lunch and a visit to a Sauna. It was my first time going properly Downhill, after years of only trail riding, and I enjoyed every minute. Everything in the tour was well organized, no problems whatsoever, great Commencal bike and gear. This tour enabled me to start pushing my limits on a bike, because I knew I was in good hands. If you're into mountain biking in general, even not so experienced, and are looking for an adrenaline rush and great views & experience, riding with BikingPeruTrek absolutely has to be on your bucketlistCorentin T2022-09-27Incroyable Incroyable journée de DH avec Americo ! Super vélos et équipements, Americo n'a que du matériel de très haute qualité Les routes sont magnifiques, au sein de la vallée sacrée avec des points de vue sur moray et autres. Les descentes sont parfaites et bien entretenues par Americo et les riders locaux. Si besoin Americo veille toujours pour assurer vos arrières - très pro. On a ensuite droit aux bières, a un tres bon repas dans sa guesthouse, une chicha puis le sauna pour se remettre des descentes. C'était super je recommande vraiment !Ian C2021-10-29Fantastic MTB Downhill for Experienced Riders I spent two days with Americo and can't thank him enough for making my Peru trip. We did the Maras Moray trip on the first day and that was a great run with plenty of sections to get excited about. The scenery was incredible and everything was completely organized by Americo and the team. The second trip was unbelievable also. Started the first run at 4400 meters through some great sections followed by a hot spring soak then on to another high mountain pass starting around 4400 meters again. This run saw the five bikers on the trip get a total of six punctures between us and a few broken spokes which were all sorted out by the team. The bikes supplied were all high end Polygon duel suspension MTB's which ate up the terrain. Thanks guys !Juan Diego G2019-12-25Buenas bajadas Buenas bajadas con muy buenas cletas, rutas diferentes y nuevas pero el guia que nos toco no era tan rapido
