Enduro at its heart is about adventure. The format’s origins pitted competitors against remote, raw terrain across multiple days of competition, and its self-sufficient nature meant skills with a multitool were as crucial to winning as technical riding abilities.

It has also been a testbed for new mountain bike technology, with dropper posts, 1x drivetrains and E-bikes all put through their paces in Enduro before being adopted by the wider industry.

In 2025, the UCI Enduro World Cup is returning to its roots, with courses that delve deep into the backcountry and go big on exploration.

Thanks to the Enduro Open, amateurs will have the chance to experience the very same adrenaline-fuelled descents of stages and lactic acid-inducing uphill liaisons as professional athletes.

At five of the seven iconic venues of the 2025 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, fans will be able to put their fitness, racing skills and trail-side tinkering credentials to the test on the same weekend as the UCI Enduro World Cup as they embark on some of the world’s most iconic natural trails. It’s not limited to Enduro bikes, with each round also featuring separate E-bike categories that will push rider and their battery-assisted bikes to their limits.

And if amazing riding against the backdrop of stunning scenery in the likes of Pietra Ligure (Italy) and Loudenvielle-Peyragudes (France) wasn’t enough, participants will also be able to directly compare their times to the pros – who go between the race tape on the exact same stages 24 hours later.
