Geico Motorcycle EnduroCross races begin with riders lining up behind a gate, just as they do in Supercross

EnduroCross is a form of motorcycle racing that blends some of the most exciting elements of motorcycle competition from Supercross, Trials, and Enduro racing. Endurocross racing is typically held indoors in an arena where fans can see all the thrills and spills. An EnduroCross course incorporates multiple elements found in off-road riding such as jumps, rocks, boulders, logs, sand, mud, a water hole and anything else the course designer wants to throw at competitors. It has been described as the “toughest racing on two wheels”. EnduroCross is an exciting spectator sport and was added to the X Games in 2011.

We look forward to bringing awareness of our full line of products during the 2014 series.”
