SuperEnduro 2025/26: Winter Thrills, Venues & Riders to Watch
When you hear “SuperEnduro,” think of a hybrid: part enduro, part extreme obstacle course, all wrapped into indoor arena mayhem. The FIM SuperEnduro World Championship transforms stadiums into brutal playgrounds of logs, rocks, tyres, water pits and steep climbs – a high-drama sport where only the most versatile riders survive.
What Makes SuperEnduro Special
Unlike traditional outdoor enduro, SuperEnduro fills the winter gap. From December to March, arenas across Europe host riders who blend raw speed with technical finesse. The atmosphere is electric: lights down, engines up, and thousands of fans on their feet as riders tackle obstacle-strewn courses designed to punish hesitation and reward precision.
The 2025/26 Season Calendar
The official calendar packs seven rounds into a whirlwind winter tour:
| Round | Date | Venue / City | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13 December 2025 | Gliwice, Poland | Season opener in a familiar battleground |
| 2 | 3 January 2026 | Riesa, Germany | Tight, technical arena that rewards precision |
| 3 | 17 January 2026 | Bilbao, Spain | Return to Spanish soil after years away |
| 4 | 31 January 2026 | Budapest, Hungary | Central European crowd, experienced venue |
| 5 | 21 February 2026 | Belgrade, Serbia | A debut (or near‑debut) venue in the series |
| 6 | 28 February 2026 | Newcastle, UK | Home crowd for Billy Bolt – emotional and strategic importance |
| 7 | 7 March 2026 | Douai, France | Season finale – high stakes and high drama |
Who to Watch: Riders & Storylines
The championship is as thrilling as its rivalries. Here’s who’s shaping the narrative this winter:
- Billy Bolt: The Brit has become a SuperEnduro legend – five consecutive titles, big performances in front of his home crowd, and a consistency few can match.
- Jonny Walker: Aggressive, dangerous and always capable of a surprise break; Walker finished runner-up in the 2025 season.
- Manuel Lettenbichler: Known for outdoor hard enduro but increasingly attacking indoor tracks with grit and courage.
- Emerging Juniors: Rising talents in the Junior class often spring surprises, shaping the future Prestige grid.
Venues & Strategy
Not all arenas are equal. Tracks like Gliwice and Riesa favour technical precision; Newcastle brings the roar of a home crowd; Douai demands judgment under pressure in the finale. One slip can ruin a night, and one perfect run can transform a season.
SuperEnduro is promoted by Sport UP Agency, led by Tomasz Gagat, which is working to grow the series’ profile and bring it to new fans and cities.
Why SuperEnduro Matters
In SuperEnduro, margins are microscopic. Crash once, and you’re done. Every class and every heat counts – you must attack every lap. It’s theatre: the lights, the noise, the tight arenas, all heighten drama. Riders from hard enduro, motocross and cross-country test themselves under one roof – a true winter anchor for motorcycle sport fans.

Soaked to the bone, knackered, and smiling like an idiot — that’s the SuperEnduro way.
