WHAT MAKES DBX SPECIAL?

For 2025, we’re taking DBX back to its roots! One of the event’s original founders, Kevin Wood, has personally mapped out this year’s routes—riding each one himself to craft an authentic and thrilling experience.

We’ve also worked closely with the local farming community to open up exclusive, off-the-beaten-path trails that are normally inaccessible to the public. You’ll get to ride stunning, untamed Darling landscapes—at your own pace, in your own time. We provide the routes, you create the experience.

DBX 2025 offers three incredible route options, catering to all skill levels:
 23km – Slow (Ideal for beginners and social riders)
 35km – Bone Crusher (A great challenge for intermediate riders)
 70km – Warlord (For the hardcore adventurers!)
