With rising participant numbers, the norwegian 80/20 Enduro Series goes into its third year. In 2015, it includes five stops, each of which constitutes a different challenge to the starters.

The series starts its first round on May 23rd and 24th in Nesben, two hours north of Oslo. The race involves two days of racing blind on flowy high speed trails. After that, the series continues on June 6th and 7th at Traktor Bike Park, where a mix of flowy and technical stages is waiting for the participants.

The view almost makes you forget that you are racing.

On June 27th and 28th, the series stops far up in the northwest near the norwegian west coast at the Luster Enduro with spectacular nature facing the famous fjords – racing down 1116 m.
In the middle of august, on the 15th and the 16th, the series takes it back to Oslo for some shorter, but techy and intensive stages and a great time of fun.

Two weeks later, on August 29th and 30th, there will be the first enduro-race in the Huck-To-Flat-City of Oppdal. It will also be the final stop of the series. The track will be high speed on flowy, open terrain before dropping into some technical birch forests. In the end, the winner of the 80/20 series will be crowned.
