The current German E-Enduro champions are Sofia Wiedenroth and Andre Kleindienst. Orbea launched the new format - the Orbea Wild Ride - together with race organiser Racement in 2024. This year, the race will celebrate its premiere in Willingen and last year's winners will have to defend their titles on the challenging tracks of the Hochsauerland. Both licensed and amateur riders can compete against the champs. A total of 6 stages will be completed.
The varied track layout will be designed in such a way that illegal engine tuning will not bring any advantages. However, anyone who thinks they can overtake the pros in power mode could soon find themselves with an empty battery - changing the battery during the race is prohibited. As is usual in enduro racing, the route is kept secret until the start numbers are issued - so it remains exciting right up to the start! In addition, all stages are ridden blind and without training.
