A maximum of 100 entries will be accepted due to time restrictions.
Classes will be split into heats with top 8 riders progressing to final race. You must ride the same class & bike for both events.
Feature race – top 16 fastest time. The feature race determines the overall NZ Enduro X Championship Winner.
RACE/CLASS FORMAT – Nutbuster
Classes will be Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ladies & JuniorThe Nutbuster is an extreme Enduro, designed to pit man and machine against the elements and by its nature will not be easy, however we have designed the course to be cruel but fair. Choosing the right class for your skill level and fitness is essential for your enjoyment of the event.
Bronze – Competent trail riders. Course difficulty will be similar to an Enduro deviation at a trail ride with some slightly harder sections. A keen attitude, well prepared bike and camelback will make your day easier. Work together with a mate, to get around the course, recommended for the less experienced riders. Ladies will ride this course.
Silver – Competitive and semi-competitive riders. A step up in difficulty and distance from Bronze. Silver riders will require a good level of bike skill and fitness to get to the finish. Must be confident with log crossings, hill climbs and bulldogging on downhills. Experience at previous Enduros will be beneficial but not essential. Some pushing may be required so keep onside with other riders so you can help each other when the going gets tough.
Gold – A separate course designed to test the Country’s best riders. Again, not impossible but definitely difficult. Long hill climbs and extreme downhills.
Gold riders will need to navigate by GPS on the deviations. A link to the GPS course will be available prior to the event.
Junior Riders will be permitted to ride the bronze track with a ‘support rider’. This support rider will be expected to remain with their junior throughout the event.
Overall Nutbuster Trophy
The Overall trophy and title will be awarded to the winner of Gold, and will be made up from points received from the Enduro X and Nutbuster, deciding who the overall winner is. (refer overall points below) The Overall placing positions are carried forward for the NZ Hard Enduro Championship points.
This year there will be a trophy for the overall winner for the Nutbuster.
Gold and Silver riders must complete two laps to receive a finishers nut.
Navigation will be by GPS on the Gold track. You must provide GPS confirmation of the course ridden. We suggest the Topo NZ app on your phone. If you are unsure please give us a call. Riders must have their GPS unit set on track and record setting. A link will be available closer to the event.
Expect 5-7 hours of the toughest riding you will do this year. Prepare your bike – good tyres essential, tool kit and bike protection recommended. Marshals will be circulating, there will be manned OB checks
You must compete on the same bike for both events.
