Silvan Send-Its: The Fox Superflow VIC Grand Finale Was Everything

The Dandenong Ranges delivered. Big.

On the 25th and 26th of April 2026, Silvan MTB Park played host to the Fox Superflow VIC Series Grand Finale — the season-ending showdown that every Victorian enduro rider circles on their calendar in permanent marker. Three timed stages. Two days of racing. One of the best trail networks in the country. And hundreds of riders from across the state coming to settle the score on loamy, technical Silvan singletrack.

If you weren't there, you felt it. The Silvan Grand Finale has a gravitational pull on the Victorian MTB community that's hard to explain until you've been part of it.

What Makes Silvan the Perfect Grand Finale Venue

Silvan MTB Park sits in the Dandenong Ranges about 45km east of Melbourne — dense mountain ash forest, hand-sculpted trails, and trail surfaces that ride completely differently depending on whether it rained in the week before. That unpredictability is part of the magic. You can't just pre-ride a Silvan stage once and think you know it. Every run teaches you something new.

Rocky Trail Entertainment have been running the Fox Superflow at Silvan for years for good reason: the trails reward commitment. Smooth and forgiving for riders who flow, absolutely punishing for anyone who hesitates. It's the kind of venue where the gap between a good run and a great run is entirely in your head.

The Superflow Format: Racing Without the Ego

If you haven't raced a Fox Superflow before, the format is the whole point. Three timed stages — each 2 to 3 minutes of proper downhill action — with untimed liaisons between them. No mass starts, no gate drops, no one breathing down your neck on the way between stages. You rock up, hit the stage when you're ready, and your fastest run of the day counts.

Up to five runs per stage across both days. So if you blow your first run out of nerves or a bad line, you've got plenty of shots to put down something clean.

It's the reason the Fox Superflow draws everyone from first-time racers to seasoned elites — the competitive pressure is real, but the format strips out the intimidation. Race the way you ride. That's the whole vibe.

Diamonds Hour: Women Owning the Trail

One of the standout elements of the 2026 Silvan round was the Diamonds Hour on Saturday morning — an exclusive track access window for women, providing a relaxed pace introduction to the stages before the full racing day kicks off.

It's a simple idea that makes a genuine difference. Getting to walk and roll the stages without traffic, without pressure, before committing to a timed run — that's the kind of on-ramp that brings more women into enduro racing and keeps them coming back. More of this, everywhere.

Electroflow: eBikes in the Race Village

The Electroflow classifications for Australian Standard Pedal Assist eBikes ran alongside the main event, and the uptake continues to grow. The stages don't care whether you're pedal-powered or motor-assisted — Silvan's technical sections separate the good riders from the great ones regardless of what's between their legs.

Get Your Rig Dialled Before the Next Race

Race weekends have a way of exposing every bit of slop in your setup. A stem that felt fine on the trail suddenly feels vague on a stage when you're fully committed. Grips that "almost" lock on rotate exactly when you need them most. Pedal pins that are worn down to nothing offer precisely nothing when you need to weight the outside pedal through a berm.

Between now and Stromlo, get it sorted. Tight stem, locked grips, pinned pedals. The stages will feel different when the cockpit is dialled — promise.
