Aus Enduro X to add off-road flair to ASBK grand finale
A bonus for spectators at the final round of the 2024 mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) at The Bend from November 8-10, with a special one-off Aus Enduro X round to be held on a purpose-built track.
The event, free for ASBK ticket holders, will be a mix of enduro, trial and motocross. The track will be constructed by former ISDE gold medallist and Australian Off-Road Championship winner Joshua Green with natural terrain punctuated by ‘strategically’ placed tyres, logs and rock gardens.
Aus Enduro X will be contested in addition to an already huge ASBK Championship presence at The Bend with Pirelli Superbike, Michelin Supersport, Race and Road Supersport 300, ShopYamaha R3 Cup, bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup and Nolan Superbike Masters, while the international circuit will also host the final round of the Yamaha R3 bLU cRU Asia-Pacific Championship.
There will be four all-powers Aus Enduro X classes – Pro, Women, Clubman and Vets (35-plus) – and a junior category for riders aged for 13-U15. Competition will be held across the weekend.

“I’ve had all sorts of track ideas whirling through my head over the last few weeks, so I can’t wait to start building the track,” said Green.
“The track will be configured to balance out the strength and weakness of various machines and riding styles, so the racing is guaranteed to be close.
“The action will be close to the main pit building at The Bend, so spectators will be able to watch Australia’s best road- and off-road riders pushing the boundaries. It’s going to be a great weekend for motorcycle racing enthusiasts.”
Aus Enduro X entries are now open via RiderNet and close on November 5, 2024.
