Event Highlights:
In exactly one year’s time, we will host the first Sea Otter Australia event in Batemans Bay and on the Mogo Trails – the Mogo Mania is the milestone celebration to kick off the official 1-year countdown!
The highly anticipated cycling festival set to take place in the Eurobodalla Shire from October 22-26, 2025. The Festival will be held in Batemans Bay, NSW, a renowned tourism destination on the beautiful NSW South Coast and the home of the world-class Mogo Trails. Located in the triangle-heart between Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, Sea Otter Australia will attract an estimated 7,000-8,000 industry professionals and cyclists from Australia, New Zealand, and the world.
As the first industry and consumer event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, Sea Otter Australia will be established as one of the country’s premier cycling events. It is set to redefine the cycling landscape in Australia. Inspired by the iconic Sea Otter Festival in North America, this groundbreaking event will offer a comprehensive experience that deliver world-class racing on the Mogo Trails.

New: GASGAS Electroflow™
Awesome to have GASGAS on board for our Electroflow™ eBike-specific classification! These bikes have just hit the Australian market – they have Spanish roots and are part of the Austrian-based Pierer Mobility Group (which Rocky Trail’s Austro-Australian Founders secretly love!), where the technology that goes into the big line-up of models benefits of the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility right in the heart of Europe.
These bikes are a bit CHEEKY, they’re all about FUN, ROOSTING, they’re ready shred and ROCK – we reckon they’ll fit right into our Rocky Trail community vibe, literally boosting the GASGAS Electroflow™ into its next chapter of the Superflow® history.
