In the coming season, the Specialized SRAM Enduro Series established in German-speaking countries will once again offer top-class racing on challenging routes in varied terrain. Unlike last season, the series will increasingly be held in Germany in 2015. The aim of the series is to continue to develop as one of the leading enduro racing series in Europe. Because even though international attention has always been high, the aim is to increase this even further.

The season opener will take place in Treuchtlingen (GER), picking up where the 2014 season left off. After this year's detour into the European Enduro Series, the race in Altmühltal is returning to the Specialized SRAM Enduro Series. The finest low mountain stages await the participants in Treuchtlingen and there will certainly be natural trails with freshly ridden lines again, which have given the race its character.

Two weeks later, the technically demanding and rough terrain on Lake Garda awaits the enduro riders. The race, which is held on the occasion of the BIKE Festival in Riva (ITA), also scores with a unique atmosphere. It only remains to be hoped that the local organizers offer a better and more weatherproof route selection than at the last event.

The northernmost stop is Willingen-Upland (GER), which will take place as part of the next BIKE Festival, so there will be a lot going on there too. Last year, the very north of Hesse showed that it is possible to present good race tracks there too.Samerberg (GER) will be taking part for the fourth time. The alpine enduro venue scored points all round last year and for some, this race was even the highlight of the series. The route above the Inn Valley is a scenic delight. The rough gravel and plenty of roots make the downhill stages challenging, but also offer plenty of variety with the bike park passages.A brand new addition to the race series calendar this time is Schöneck (GER). Where the German Enduro champions were crowned for the first time in history in midsummer, Vogtland Bike e.V. is once again presenting an Enduro race at Bikewelt Schöneck - the fifth round of the Specialized-Sram Enduro Series. Compared to the German Championships, changes to the course are to be expected. This is because, on the one hand, the newly built tracks will be completed by then and offer further possibilities. On the other hand, the floodlit prologue course has been classified as dangerous by some riders, so changes are also to be expected.

For the grand finale, the series will make another leap across the German border. The Leogang/Saalbach-Hinterglemm region (AUT) started an enduro race for the first time last season, although the topic has been around here for a long time. For years, there have been 60 kilometers of trails in the form of the Big Five circuit, which can be reached by five cable cars. With 500 meters of elevation gain, this results in over 5000 Elevation loss, which has already provided an Enduro experience for many.
A good atmosphere is guaranteed in the paddock at the end of the season, as the final of the iXS European Downhill Cup is also taking place at the same time, which already proved its worth in 2014.
