Unlimited fun, great camaraderie and the best trails with an impressive mountain panorama around the Grisons destination of Davos Klosters - that's what MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM stands for. It is one of the few enduro races for teams in Europe and is correspondingly popular in the international mountain bike scene. Previous events have therefore always sold out quickly, both for teams of two and for fun teams of 3 to 6 people. Last year, it took just 4 days from the opening of registration.

New e-bike category as a test run

Because of repeated demand, MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM 2022 will have a small e-bike category for teams of two for the first time as part of a test run - the e-teams. "E-bikes have long since become indispensable in the enduro sector," says race director Michi Wild from the Bike Academy Davos, explaining the innovation. "We want to take this fact into account and meet the need for repeated requests in a test run. We want to find out how well e-bikes can be integrated into the existing enduro competition, both logistically and in terms of performance," says Michi Wild. "We also want to be able to assess how broad the interest in an e-bike category actually is." For the test run, the number of e-teams will be limited to 20 - if there are more registrations, there will be a waiting list.

The composition of the e-teams is open, there is only one joint e-bike classification for men, women and mixed. The e-teams cover exactly the same route as all other categories and are allowed to use the same mountain railroads. You can register for the e-bike category as normal via the registration platform. With this innovation, MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM remains true to its fun-oriented and innovative approach.

Registration from December 27, 2021

In addition to the new e-bike test category and the special FUN TEAM category, which was successfully introduced two years ago, you can of course also start again in the tried-and-tested, classic categories for teams of two: MEN, WOMEN, MIXED and 77+. Starting places at the event are limited, especially as the capacity of the Davos Klosters mountain railroads is limited. The race is open to a total of 450 participants, the exact number of teams again depends on the size of the registered FUN TEAMS. Last time, the event sold out in just four days - so it should be worth being quick this time too. "We are also expecting a great deal of interest for 2022," says organizer Britta Wild. "We have an extremely loyal field of participants - with more and more returning participants at each event. That's why we give them a tiny head start when registering." In keeping with the motto "extended Christmas", the registration platform for MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM 2022 will open on December 27, 2021 at 10 am. If you want to be part of it, register as soon as possible: enduro-team.ch.

New routes for repeat offenders

For the sixth edition, returning riders will once again be able to get to know new trails in the Davos Klosters region. Because the MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM routes are not simply fixed: "We change a considerable part of the race route every year so that our numerous repeat offenders also get their money's worth in terms of trail fun," says race director Michi Wild, explaining his credo. "Our region offers an incredible wealth of attractive mountain bike trails. So we are far from running out of ideas and we will be integrating one or two new gems again in 2022," he promises.

The most attractive trails in the best company

At MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM, the teams cover a good 120 kilometers in three days, riding around 1500 meters uphill and around 12,000 meters downhill. As in a classic enduro race, the MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM also involves riding several "stages", or measured sections, each day. These mainly ride downhill and last a few minutes each. Between these descents, the participants cover various transfer stages without timekeeping, often supported by mountain railroads. This leaves time to enjoy the impressive alpine scenery of the Grisons mountains or to chat with other race participants from all over Europe and overseas and to cultivate the international bike community. "Our aim is to show experienced mountain bikers from all over the world the most beautiful trails in the Davos Klosters destination in the best of company," summarizes Britta Wild. The trails are varied and attractive - but sometimes also technically demanding, as they are almost exclusively alpine, natural paths and not developed flow trails. A certain riding level on a mountain bike is therefore a prerequisite for a lot of fun with MONDRAKER ENDURO TEAM.
