About mountain biking insurance for accidental injuries
Mountain biking is the ultimate adrenaline rush but comes with risks. Whether you’re tackling unknown terrain or competing in a race, you can get cover for a range of accidental injuries.
Flip Insurance can give you extra peace of mind whether you want protection for yourself or your child for recreational mountain biking or MTB racing.
Mountain biking is generally safe and fun, but mountain biking accidents can happen.
Don't let an unexpected injury ruin your day – make sure you're protected with Flip.
Mountain biking is a fantastic way to stay fit and enjoy the great outdoors. According to a 2021 report by Mountain Bike Australia, there are likely to be at least 300,000 mountain bike participants across Australia.
All those epic trails can lead to injuries that Medicare, private health insurance or travel insurance don’t necessarily cover in full. The financial pain can hurt more than the injury itself.
If you’re riding or racing with Flip activated and get an injury we cover, we give you a set cash payout for eligible claims, mostly within one business day.
Understanding what you’re covered for can be overwhelming, and sometimes you don’t realise until after something's gone wrong that you might have a lot of costs to pay. We've created injury cover for mountain biking accidents that's easy to understand, with no complicated add-ons or hidden catches.
