Five Things You Might Not Know About The Enduro World Series

The second season kicks off in Chile this weekend. Are you ready for the hottest race series in mountain biking?

Nope, it’s not some kind of memory game, it’s the EWC world series trophy. Photo: Enduro World Series

Edinburgh-based artist Simon Muir made the Enduro World Series trophy for the inaugural season last year. But it’s not your regular silver trophy displayed on a wooden podium….

Simon used four different types of wood – walnut, ash, mango and oak – shaped to look like a woodguard fender with a box at the base containing relics from each of the stops on last year’s tour. Pretty original eh!

These include:

– Soil from Punta Ala, Italy
– Rock from Val d’Allos, France
– A bottle of Génépi spirit from Les Deux Alpes, France
– Bark and aspen leaves from Winterpark, USA
– ‘Old Man’s Beard’ moss from Whistler, Canada
– White organic linen from Val d’Isere, France
– Hazlenuts and beach sand from Finale Ligure, Italy
