Competition Rules:

The SA DHI Series scores according to UCI rules, where the seeding run counts for 25% and race run scores full points. The WC DH season is all about Downhill.

All serious contenders enter into the correct DH categories from the start of the series. You cannot change categories.

Ladies Categories:
We will only have 3 ladies categories:
-Junior Women (under 18 years)
-Elite Women (18 years and above)
-Senior Women (30 years and above)

CSA Membership: 
The new 2021 ruling insists that all DH riders have to have CSA membership licences. This is in your own interest as it insures you at the races. Cycling South Africa takes great pleasure in announcing that Membership fees for 2022 will remain at R250 per annum.
