Vale das Videiras, a small village in the middle of the mountains in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, hosted the third and last round of the Brasil Enduro Series 2015. 170 riders from 4 different countries attended the last stop of the series. Beautiful liaisons, a great atmosphere and short but super cool stages challenged the riders. Different kinds of skills we’re required to perform well. Keeping the momentum and knowing how to ride the dozens of switchbacks made the difference in this venue.

Conclusion of the 2015 Series

“It has been a great season. In 2015, we had more people competing than last year and could grow another bit. We jumped from 458 in 2014 to 530 riders in 2015. We also had the opportunity to produce the Monteinbaik Enduro Latam Series, together with the Monteinbaik crew, a benchmark for us in making top enduro events. That is a big step. It is good to see the increase of the sport in Brasil”- says Theo Duarte, one of the organizers of the event.

The next generation of riders proofed their cheering skills and lined the tracks.
