The concept
UCI racing meets flatland, under one roof.
A hybrid indoor arena pairing a 400m UCI-compliant race track - 8m start hill, banked turns echoing Table Mountain contours - with a 40×30m flatland plaza for freestyle. A Flow Loop connects the two for seamless training.
Inspired by: Manchester Indoor BMX · London 2012 VeloPark · Tokyo Ariake
