FIM Hard Enduro World Championship new points system and updated calendar

The FIM Hard Enduro World Championship (HEWC), under the direction of new promoters Hard Enduro Promotions Marketing Management LLC (HEP), is proud to unveil a newly restructured championship points system. Developed in collaboration with the FIM, the update is designed to bring a heightened level of fairness, strategy, and competitiveness across both single-day and multi-day events. The changes are set to debut at the highly anticipated Silver Kings Hard Enduro in the United States.

“Our goal is to raise the sporting standard of the championship, and that starts with ensuring that every day of racing matters,” said a representative of HEP. “This revised system rewards consistency and resilience while enhancing the fan experience and preserving the integrity of results.”

A Spectacular Start in the UK
The 2025 HEWC season roared into action at the Valleys Hard Enduro in the United Kingdom. Germany’s Manuel Lettenbichler proved why he’s the reigning champion, claiming the win ahead of home hero Billy Bolt and Bulgaria’s Teodor Kabakchiev, who rounded out the podium in third.

With that victory, Lettenbichler leads the overall standings, closely followed by Bolt and Kabakchiev, setting the stage for a thrilling title battle as the championship continues across the globe.

Spotlight on Silver Kings: America’s Premier Hard Enduro
The Silver Kings Hard Enduro, hosted in Kellogg, Idaho, serves as the United States' marquee stop in the HEWC calendar. Set against the rugged terrain of the Silver Mountain Resort, the event is renowned for its steep climbs, technical descents, and unpredictable mountain weather.

Unlike traditional HEWC events where the overall classification is determined by final race placement, Silver Kings features a unique points-based structure:

Each racing segment across the event’s two days contributes to the final score.

The overall winner will be the rider who accumulates the highest total points from all competition stages—not necessarily the first across the final finish line.

This structure emphasizes endurance, consistency, and adaptability, demanding the best from even the most elite riders across every section of terrain.
