Crankworx Rotorua took flight in March of 2015, becoming the first Crankworx festival outside of North America and Europe. Since then it’s played host to some of the most memorable moments in Crankworx history. The Rotorua stop of the World Tour has a unique mix of riding and culture. Tikanga Māori (Māori customary practices) are woven into every aspect of the festival. From the traditional Tewhatewha (a traditional ceremonial weapon) awarded to the King and Queen of Crankworx, the traditional carvings placed around the site, and most of all the manakitanga (hospitality and generosity) of the people.

Crankworx is about to get down (under) and dirty. October 2022, the Crankworx World Tour will set down in Cairns, Australia. Bringing together a unique rainforest landscape set alongside the Great Barrier Reef, world-class trails, rich culture, a laid-back city vibe, and a long history of hosting elite MTB events, Crankworx Cairns is set to bring to life the ultimate experience in mountain biking, Down Under style. 

Crankworx Innsbruck launched in June of 2017, becoming the first European Crankworx host location Die Premiere von Crankworx Innsbruck – dem einzigen europäischen Tourstopp außerhalb Frankreichs – fand im Juni 2017 statt. Seither ist Innsbruck fester Bestandteil der Crankworx World Tour und Jahr für Jahr Gastgeber einiger der spannendsten und beeindruckendsten Crankworx-Events. Das ganz Spezielle an Crankworx Innsbruck ist die Nähe zwischen der Festival-Homebase im Bikepark Innsbruck und der pulsierenden Studentenstadt. Jedes Jahr treffen sich die besten Athleten der Welt in der historischen Stadt, um – umgeben von großen Bergen – den einzigartigen Mix aus Tiroler Tradition und wachsender Mountainbike-Kultur zu genießen.

Born in Whistler, B.C. in 2004, Crankworx has evolved into a multi-stop international festival series, bringing together the best mountain bike athletes to compete in elite-level competitions in a variety of disciplines, as well as hosting races for amateurs, Kidsworx contests for young riders, participatory events, and celebrations of mountain bike culture, all while showcasing amazing destinations. And while the festival has gone international, each year the global mountain bike community comes home to Crankworx Whistler for the ultimate celebration of all things mountain bike. The original. The biggest. The heart of it all. The defining celebration of mountain biking.
