The Super D endurance event has been confirmed to run again as part of this year's Queenstown Bike Festival.
A naming sponsor has been fund and negotiations are continuing for a sponsor for a new slope-style event.
The inaugural festival last April attracted 1500 to 2000 people to the resort for a week and a-half of cycling events, and the event is scheduled to run again from March 30 until April 9.
Organiser Geoff Hunt said Speight's would be backer the Super D event and talks were under way for a sponsor of the slope-style event, tentatively scheduled for the Ballarat St car park in April.
In a format similar to the Winter Games Parklife Invitational Rail Jam in Earnslaw Park, bikers would start on a tall tower and ride down, completing tricks though five different elements such as a quarter-pipes.
Neither the planned criterium lap race on a 750m circuit in the Remarkables Park shopping centre, nor the urban downhill event, will be held this year.
Designed to feature steps, small jumps and other obstacles, the urban downhill depends on getting permission from landowners for the"detours" away from streets, Mr Hunt said.
It had been "put on hold until we can finalise the course".
