Downhill
Downhill is a spectacular discipline where riders race against the clock on short, technically demanding tracks filled with jumps, drops, and rocky sections. Each rider has a single chance to compete, preceded by practice runs and a qualifying round to determine the starting order. The goal is to achieve the fastest time by fully harnessing the power of gravity.
Enduro
Enduro combines speed and strategy, with races consisting of 3–6 timed stages, primarily downhill. The transfers between stages are untimed and may include pedaling, pushing the bike, or using lift systems. Enduro demands a mix of technical skills, physical endurance, and mental focus, making it one of the most comprehensive disciplines in mountain biking.
