Aptly named, Hardline is as exposed as it is stunning, designed to challenge even the most skilled riders.

Ride Hardline with Rider/Builder Lars Romig Join Rider/Builder Lars Romig @mountainmingo with Absolute Bikes and Specialized to enjoy Sedona’s long-awaited new Hardline trail. This trail is not for the faint of heart or unsure riders; you should have the other three H’s on lock and feel confident tackling them. We will head out to experience the new trail in a short but intense ride, starting on the iconic Hiline trail via Yavapai Vista. We will ride much of Hiline before departing onto Hardline halfway through. We’ll take some time to discuss the trail work needed to make Hardline a reality, as well as talk about line selection into the crux moves. Expert skill required for this ride. ♦️♦️ Limited to 10 riders - Sign up HERE - Must have a festival pass |
