SloEnduro season is closer every day and here we are with most important information, race calendar for upcoming season. This year, SloEnduro series, powered by German bike brand Cube, will climb another step higher and will expand in both directions, in the fields of competitions and fun as well. After two good seasons we always get such a nice feedback from everyone, so we were not surprised by the of organizers wanting to get on board. Enduro is a discipline that should have room for everyone so we took this chance and split the calendar into two series. There will be something for any rider. The new SloEnduro 4Fun series unites mostly new, shorter and less demanding races. This is a great chance for new riders and organizers to have a go at the discipline. But even the fastest riders will be able to score some points at these events.
Eleven venues
The higher ranked SloEnduro series will consist of 6 races and 4Fun series will host additional 5 easier and shorter races. The 4Fun series will be fully integrated into SloEnduro since the smaller amount of points scored there will contribute to SloEnduro overall men’s and women’s ranking. There will be a separate 4Fun ranking as well.
Six months of racing!
2015 racing season will last more than six months. It starts and ends just across the slovenian borders. Enduro 3 Camini in Trieste, Italy, kicks off the series mid-April. Those who will fail to score a good result will have another chance a month later when Enduro Cerkno is on shedule, followed by a break.
We’ll have to wait for the third race of the season till end of June, when we’ll stop in Bovec, a new venue. The race is also part of Soča Outdoor Festival which is moving it’s enduro race from Tolmin to Bovec. Stop four is best event from both previous seasons, the Black Hole Enduro on last weekend in July, followed by summer break.
The classic 6th edition of Kamplc Enduro in Javornik bikepark chose the first weekend in September. After that the riders will have a month and a half to get ready for the finals, hosted by Grožnjan, Croatia for second consecutive year.

No support – No fun
We are happy to be adding some new partners this year. CUBE bikes are the presenting sponsor so in 2015 the official title of the series is SloEnduro powered by CUBE. O’Neal keeps protecting the riders and with iXS stepping in as well the riders will be properly protected. 100% eyewear will take care of sharp views of the trail, Maxxis Tyres are supplying the grip and all the damage on bikes will be fixed with Unior Tools. The action will be recorded with GoPro cameras and made public with the help of media partner mtb.si. Last but not least, Red Bull will be providing the wings all season long.
