Choosing the Right Class For Hard Enduro

Choosing the right class is the first step in ensuring a successful and enjoyable race experience.

Here's a breakdown of what each

class requires:

1. Gold Class:

o Who it's for: Advanced riders with

top-tier skills, excellent fitness, and mental toughness.

o Difficulty: Extremely challenging terrain with sections deemed "impossible to ride" for most people.

o Expectations: You need to be able to ride fast, even in the most intense conditions.

Only a small number of riders can finish this class, and you're vetted by race

organizers.

2. Silver Class:

o Who it's for: Experienced riders who may aspire to Gold or those with a significant

amount of hard enduro experience.

o Difficulty: Trails are almost as tough as Gold but slightly less intense and shorter. Still

requires excellent physical and mental toughness.

o Expectations: You need to maintain a fluent riding style across challenging sections.

3. Bronze Class:

o Who it's for: Beginners or those new to hard enduro.

o Difficulty: Challenging but more manageable for newcomers to the sport. If you have

some enduro experience but are new to Hard Enduro, this is where you start.

o Expectations: You should have basic technical riding skills, moderate physical fitness,

and the ability to recover and keep going after tough sections.
