Race Structure
A Gravity Enduro race is made up of two main types of segments:
Timed Stages (Special Stages)
- These are mostly downhill or descending trails.
- Riders are racing against the clock.
- Trails are technical, fast, and often natural (rocks, roots, drops, off-cambers).
- This is where you push your speed, skills, and focus.
Liaison Stages (Transfer Stages)
- Riders pedal or push their bikes to the next stage.
- These are not timed competitively but often have a maximum time limit.
- Think of these as recovery time or a social ride to the next start.
Your final result is based on the combined time of all the timed stages — the rider with the lowest total wins.
