In August 2026, Crankworx announced plans to launch a new international enduro series starting in 2027. This initiative follows the recent decision by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports to discontinue the Enduro World Cup in its current format after the 2026 season. (as.com)
The new Crankworx series aims to fill the void left by the UCI’s decision, offering a stable and international calendar tailored to the needs of riders, sponsors, and destinations. The organization emphasizes a return to the roots of enduro, focusing on fun, adventure, open participation, and the discovery of the world’s best trails. (mtb-vco.com)
While specific details about the full calendar and event locations are yet to be announced, one confirmed event is the Canadian Open Enduro in Whistler, which will be part of the 2027 series. This event holds historical significance for Crankworx and remains one of the most iconic destinations in the mountain biking world. (mtb-vco.com)
The Crankworx series aims to provide a platform that combines high-level competition with the spirit of adventure, allowing riders of all levels to participate in the same events. This approach recalls the early years of the Enduro World Series, which blended professional racing with community engagement and exploration of diverse destinations. (mtb-vco.com)
As the enduro community transitions into this new era, Crankworx’s initiative offers a promising avenue for riders seeking a fresh and authentic competitive experience. With Whistler as a confirmed starting point and a commitment to the original spirit of enduro, the series is poised to become a significant fixture in the global mountain biking calendar.
