Gravity Enduro is The Perfect MTB Race Format 🚵‍♂️🔥

Gravity Enduro (GE) combines the thrill of downhill racing with the adventure of cross-country, creating the perfect mix of fun descents and just the right amount of pedaling. Whether you’re racing against your mates, pushing for a personal best, or testing yourself against the field, GE offers an exciting, social, and rewarding riding experience. It’s all about shredding epic trails, keeping the adventure alive, and enjoying great vibes along the way. 🚵‍♂️💨🔥

How It Works:

🚀 Timed Stages – Each round features 3-5 race stages, where you go full gas against the clock on fast, flowy, and technical descents.

⏳ Liaison Stages – In between race stages, relax and cruise to the next start gate at your own pace, with generous race day cut-off times.

🏆 Multiple Stages, One Awesome Day – Your combined stage times determine your final result, keeping the competition exciting without being exhausting.

Follow a designated course route where all the best descents are timed, and the liaisons are untimed, allowing you to finish each round with riders in your category.

Get ready to send it, race hard, and have a blast on some of the best trails around! 🚴‍♂️🔥💨

Series Winners

  • Riders must complete 2 races in the Victorian Enduro Tour in order to generate a category series result.
  • Riders completing 4 races or more may drop their worst result(s), so only your best 4 race results count towards your overall result at the end of the Series.
  • Results in each category, at each race will be calculated by adding together the riders’ times for each of the timed stages that that category races over. The fastest cumulative time across all stages will be recognised as first place in their category in that race.
  • Riders will be awarded points according to the place they finish within their category at each race. The points awarded for each place are as per the schedule here. The same points structure will be used for all categories in The Victorian Enduro Tour.
  • The points a rider receives for each race will be added together and the rider with the highest total points will be recognised as first place in their category across The Victorian Enduro Tour.
  • Riders must compete in the same category at each race in order to generate a category series result.
  • If 2 (or more) riders in a category have the same number of points
    • A comparison of riders’ total series points (all races, not just best 3) will be used to break the tie.
    • if still tied then
      • if the tied riders raced the same events, their overall series time will be compared
      • if they did not race the same events, overall time cannot be compared and the relevant series place is “split”  (i.e. there will be 2 riders sharing that series place)
  • DNS results are not loaded for a race.
  • Incomplete events:
    • Where a rider starts a race but does not complete all stages designated for their category (eg. because of mechanical) they will be listed in the race results behind all riders who did complete all requires stages.
    • They will receive a time of 25mins for the stage that was missed but will still be listed in the results for that race.
    • A rider who misses one stage will not be placed in the results above a rider who completes all stages.
    • Where a rider misses more than one stage they will be given a time of 25mins for each stage they miss. A rider will be ranked below any other rider who has completed more stages that they have. (Eg, a rider who misses 2 stages will be ranked below all riders who missed only one stage or who did not miss any stages).
    • This system is set in place so riders may still receive points and thus a series result even if they do not complete the entire course for their category (DNF).

🚵‍♂️ See you on the trails! 🔥💨”
