In 2017 Franco Monchiero's Race-Events gave life to the e-Enduro circuit, the first in the world dedicated exclusively to pedal assisted enduro bikes.
It was a very important test bench that required a considerable commitment and a considerable expenditure of energy but thanks to the precious support of Specialized Italy, interest in what is now becoming the most important dedicated circuit has grown exponentially. to the e-bike.
Before presenting the news and the 2018 race calendar it seems only right to thank all the riders who participated in the circuit, Vittorio Gambirasio and Bonazzi Giovanna absolute winners, all the Locations (Sestri Levante, Massa Marittima, Levico and Varazze), the Exhibitors and dedicate to all the video recap of the season with wishes for a Happy Christmas.
Obviously, the dedication is also extended to all the sponsors who, together with Specialized Italia, believed in this ambitious project right from the start and are: Brose, PH, Limar Helmets, Maxxis, Ciclo Promo Components, Ohlins, Andreani Group, Expotent, Alpinestars, DT Swiss, Billet, DSB, Speedy Decal.
The 2018 race calendar features 4 completely new stages, of the 5 scheduled. The first two stages will be in Liguria where surely the sea and the sun will make the race weekends special in a period of the year that is still "cool" in the north.
This region in the last 10 years has paid special attention to the bike world, in fact today it is among the most popular among riders from all over the world thanks to its climate, the Enduro trails and from today also for the e-Enduro ones.
In July we will go up to high altitude where none other than the organizers of the "Sella Ronda Hero" will be waiting for us in Selva di Val Gardena !!! A spectacular event in one of the most beautiful mountain resorts in the world, while in September we will descend to a stop in Bergamo, home of “regularities” and nerve center of the cycle sector. According to the organizers, a very “flow” race through the paths of the Orio Gravity Park.
For the grand finale we will return to Liguria and precisely to Varazze, already an e-Enduro stage in 2017, with its spectacular trails and the great celebration of the final awards ceremony of the Circuit.
New trails but the same race format
After a year of racing it is right to make an initial assessment of the routes. In recent months we have received many certificates of esteem, and we thank you from the heart, but also right criticisms that we want to treasure for the upcoming season. We will certainly strive more and more to make the circuit within the reach of many more people while maintaining the right coefficient of difficulty but at the same time enhancing the fun part of the routes, which will be specifically designed to be used with pedal assisted enduro bikes.
We will keep the ABSOLUTE ban in the days of tests before the race of the ascents with the help of motor vehicles. Fewer vans and more bikes on the streets of the host towns to the delight of the inhabitants.
The race format will remain unchanged as will the recharge system thanks to the legendary “Octopus” by Brose available to all competitors on Saturday and Sunday.
