Head-to-Head Competition and Commentary

Following a year of early access between July 2025 and July 2026, where players competed individually for leaderboard spots, MAVRIX 1.0 shifts the focus to direct competition. Players can now matchmake with up to 5 riders on any trail, or join friends at the start of a run.

For racing modes, the goal is simple: be the first to the bottom. Players can view the action in first or third person, or utilize a rear-facing camera to keep an eye on the competition. If you crash, you will respawn at the previous checkpoint, though clean runs are essential for securing a win. Throughout these races, legendary Red Bull commentator Rob Warner provides live updates to keep the energy high.

Mastering the Trails: Downhill vs. Enduro

Success in MAVRIX relies heavily on equipment choice. The game features two distinct bike types, each suited for different terrain:

  • Downhill Bikes: These are built for stability at high speeds and feature increased suspension to handle significant impacts.
  • Enduro Bikes: These offer a lighter frame, which translates to superior acceleration and the agility needed to hop over larger obstacles.

Choosing the correct bike for your specific trail is a critical part of the strategy, as different disciplines reward different mechanical strengths.

Slopestyle and MAVRIX Cups

The 1.0 update also introduces dedicated head-to-head slopestyle. In this format, the trail is divided into sectors. The rider who wins the most sectors is crowned the champion, with all competitors starting each sector simultaneously. This setup gives players a front-row seat to the tricks their opponents are pulling off.

For those looking for the ultimate test, the new MAVRIX Cups will run every weekend. These standalone events feature their own exclusive leaderboards and offer rare cosmetic prizes that cannot be obtained through standard gameplay. Whether you are racing for the fastest time or stomping tricks in slopestyle, these weekend events are designed to be the primary destination for competitive play.
