Billy Bolt and Jonny Walker take on the Red Bull Hardline Course

If you have ever wondered what would be faster to the bottom of a downhill mountain bike course, out of an enduro motorcycle or a mountain bike - this video is for you! In it, enduro stars Billy Bold and Jonny Walker team up with Matt and Jono Jones for a relay race down the Red Bull Hardline course.

Walker is no stranger to the Red Bull Hardline event, as he took to the course last year to go head-to-head with pedal power. This year, though, is different, as each enduro rider is paired with a mountain biker in a relay race. What’s more, the teams can choose the point in the course that they pass on the baton to their partner, meaning they can plan their race to best suit their strengths.

The stage for the video you can see here is the beautiful Dyfi Valley in Wales, filmed during the build-up to this year’s event. And while you might assume that the enduro bike, with more than 50bhp on tap, would hammer the mountain bike, there’s more to getting down this course quickly than simply putting more power to the ground.

Red Bull’s Hardline course is regarded as one of the most extreme mountain bike events on the planet. Think Red Bull Romaniacs with pedals. It features some extremely tight and technical sections, and while they are similar to the kind you’d find at traditional hard enduro events, the more lightweight and agile mountain bike can flick from side to side much more quickly.

After a few tentative runs to get a feel for the course, Walker and Bolt hit the track for real, racing the stopwatch and each other. And neither holds back, with both of them riding hard and making mistakes - Bolt even has a hard fall during his all-action run in one of the forest sections of the course.

We won’t spoil the result for you, though, and you can check out the full video below to find out which team won.
