SuperEnduro World Championship Set to Kick Off in Poland

Round 1 – December 13, 2025 | Gliwice, Poland

The winter season is about to heat up — the 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship fires into life this Saturday in Gliwice, Poland, marking the start of what promises to be one of the most competitive indoor enduro seasons in history.

Reigning five-time world champion Billy Bolt (Husqvarna Factory Racing) returns to defend his crown against a stacked Prestige field featuring the biggest names in enduro: Manuel Lettenbichler, Josep Garcia, Jonny Walker, Dominik Olszowy, and the Brightmore brothers, among many others.

A Seven-Round Global Showdown

This season’s calendar packs seven intense rounds, mixing classic venues with brand-new destinations:

• Gliwice, Poland (Dec 13) – Season opener
• Riesa, Germany (Jan 3) – Back from the holidays
• Bilbao, Spain (Jan 17) – Return to the Basque Country
• Budapest, Hungary (Jan 31) – End of January showdown
• Belgrade, Serbia (Feb 21) – First-ever Serbian GP
• Newcastle, UK (Feb 28) – Home race for Bolt
• Douai, France (Mar 7) – Grand finale

Each event will be broadcast live on FIM-MOTO.TV, with replays available on demand. Fans can catch every minute of the action with the €59.99 Season Pass.

Bolt vs. The World

Billy Bolt begins his quest for a sixth consecutive world title, but the competition has never been tougher. Alongside him, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler, fresh off his Hard Enduro World Championship, returns to SuperEnduro after injury sidelined him last season.

New to the indoor scene, Josep Garcia, the reigning EnduroGP World Champion, is set to make his long-awaited SuperEnduro debut in Gliwice — even if only for one round, expect fireworks.

Meanwhile, Jonny Walker (Triumph) arrives full of confidence after taking the 2025 AMA EnduroCross Championship, while Poland’s own Dominik Olszowy (RIEJU) will look to shine in front of the home crowd.

Rising stars Ashton and Mitch Brightmore (X-Grip Racing) are back and hungry for more after finishing 3rd and 4th overall last season, while Eddie Karlsson (Stark Future) aims to shock the field once again on his electric Stark Varg, now joined by Toby Martyn.

Veterans like Alfredo Gomez (Beta) and newcomer Marc Fernandez (GASGAS) — last year’s Junior World Champion — add even more depth to the Prestige class.

Juniors and Youth: The Future Is Here

With the Junior class now upgraded to full FIM World Championship status, competition is fierce.
Germany’s Milan Schmüser (Beta) starts as favourite, but young guns like Toby Shaw (GASGAS), Alex Puey (GASGAS), and Leo Joyon (Beta) will keep him honest.

The Youth category is also wide open, with 25 riders from 12 nations — including local hero Michał Laska (Sherco) and Britain’s Connor Watson (Sherco) — ready to make their mark.

The Countdown Is On

The lights, the noise, the chaos — SuperEnduro 2025/2026 is here. Seven rounds, three months, one champion to be crowned. Can Billy Bolt keep the streak alive, or will Lettenbichler, Walker, or one of the young guns finally dethrone the king? We’ll find out this Saturday, December 13, in Gliwice.
