JAKARTA - The 76 Indonesian Downhill (IDH) Urban 2025 Series 2 mountain bike race is present in Semarang City, in Tegalsari Village, with a finish line at Raden Saleh Cultural Park, on October 4 '5, is predicted to be interesting.

Event Director 76 IDH Urban Aditya Nugraha said Tegalsari's track has different characters from the first series in Pasuruan, with speed levels of up to 85 percent, shorter track lengths of about 50100 meters, and new obstacles added.

"Many riders are looking forward to the highspeed track design that we present in Series 2," Aditya said in his official statement on Sunday.

This competition competes in 12 categories, ranging from Men Elite, Men Junior, Women Open, Men Youth, to the Men Master and Sport classes.

The organizers also present a jump contest and sports conference involving the surrounding community and support the potential for sportstourism.

A number of national riders are confirmed to take part, including M. Abdul Hakim from Jepara who finished fourth in Series 1 in the Men Elite category.

"I prepared physically, mentally, and on a bicycle as best I could. My target was the first podium," he said.

Unlike the 76 Indonesian Downhill (IDH) 2025 series with UCI licensed points race status, this urban series is non-series with a combination of competition and entertainment.

Organizers continue to use the official PB ISSI jury, time recording system, and provide prizes for the top five in each class.
