Looking for a motorsport discipline that gets your adrenaline pumping just by watching? Red Bull has the answer. The energy drink giant is calling on 300 daredevils to take part in a stubblecross race on the morning of 1 November, held in a harvested wheat field near Leipzig. The line-up will feature both ambitious amateurs and world champions.
Stubblecross is a form of off-road motorsport in which motorcycles, quads, and sometimes even cars race across harvested fields. These events are usually informal and hobby-focused, typically taking place in autumn after the grain harvest, when the ground is hard and uneven – perfect for creating demanding, high-energy tracks. The name comes from the stubble fields left behind once the crops are cut.
Red Bull, known for its passion for unconventional sports, is now bringing its own twist to the action with the Red Bull Stoppelboss. On Saturday, 1 November, a field at the Frohburger Dreieck near Leipzig will transform into a playground of “mud, adrenaline and pure two-wheeled action.”

Challenges on a 2.7-Kilometre Course
The event, which is already fully booked, will see around 300 riders take on a 2.7-kilometre track packed with obstacles including straw bale ramps, tree trunk sections, and even a tractor trailer loading ramp.
On race day, the schedule features free practice, qualifying, a pre-final, and the unmissable Super Final. In the grand finale, the top 80 riders will line up in classic Le Mans-style to battle for the title of Red Bull Stoppelboss.
Hard Enduro World Champion Eyes Another Title
“Red Bull Stoppelboss is pure fun and competitive spirit – on terrain normally only used by farm machinery,” said Manuel Lettenbichler. “It’ll be a blast to compete alongside the amateurs. It’s a unique event; all that matters is the moment and the will to win – and I want to win the title.”
It wouldn’t be his first. Lettenbichler, the reigning Hard Enduro World Champion, will lead the Blue Team, while his rival, newly crowned MX2 World Champion Simon Längenfelder, heads up the Red Team.
Red Bull promises a showdown filled with “thrilling duels, spectacular jumps and unbridled team spirit” as both crews fight it out on the Leipzig stubble field.
Jonny Walker gave fans a full behind-the-scenes look at his extreme enduro setup as he prepared to tackle the Tennessee Knockout (TKO) and a Canadian event. And true to form, he did it with trademark honesty and humour.
“I wanted to do Canada because I never have,” Walker said. “I’ve been there many times. I love the race because it is short, it is enjoyable, it is hot — extremely hot — and sticky.”
Riding with the Beta USA team, Walker revealed that his ride was actually “Danny’s training bike” but built with his own suspension and motor configuration. “I just told them make it as mellow as possible,” he explained.
Inside the team truck the scene was relaxed but professional: “There’s always the coffee machine, the lollies, the truck loaded with kit… and our truck driver Curt is also a chef — he aced the chow today. Steak and spuds and the whole shebang!”
When talking bike setup, Walker’s attention to detail was clear. He ran Renthal 827 Fatbars, Polisport handguards, and Raptor footpegs “five mil down and five mil back.” His rubber bands had a purpose too — “I put my energy gels or sweets in them, then I can take them off mid-ride and bite them off. Stuffed full of energy!”
The bike featured Michelin tyres and mousses, Blackbird Racing seat and graphics, and a GOLFER oversized floating front disc. He was also focused on durability: “We add an extra cover on top of the silicon hoses to protect them — it’s happened before where you hit it, break the water pipe, and you’re out of the race. Not anymore.” Walker opted for a 12-49 sprocket but noted he might drop to a 48 depending on the track. Carb settings were dialled for performance — “a N0Z J needle on the fourth clip, 38 pilot, 170 main jet, and a 6.5 slide — just makes it a little richer off the bottom,” he said.
With an AXP bash plate, radiator guards and 20 mm offset clamps, Walker’s ride was fine-tuned just like his riding style.
At the time he said the TKO weekend would include “a seven-minute lap — pretty extreme but quick,” followed by a straight rhythm qualifier and a 35-minute main race.
When the results came in, Walker delivered a strong performance — finishing 4th in the pro class at the TKO, a result that underlined his consistency at the top level of extreme enduro.
It made his pre-race insight all the more impressive: from truck setup to bike details, he left nothing to chance.
British enduro champion Dan Mundell confirmed his comeback for one more crack at the 2026 SuperEnduro season in the wake of a joking discussion on Instagram which quickly gained traction among his fans.
The conversation began once @enduro_croc jokingly mentioned making a return with the question, “Are we in for another SuperEnduro Dan showing this Indoor Szn?” To which Mundell responded in his typical humor, “Yeah, why not? I’ve got some walls I ain’t crashed yet.”
The video post with the caption “Gee Tee • Dudes in the Valley,” garnered more than 600 likes and countless witty comments by riders and fans alike. The best encapsulation of the mood was in one of the comments: “You rode like super ‘Pro’ until you didn’t ????.”
Although it wasn’t quite an official confirmation, the exchange all but ensures the popular Brit will again circle the track under lights this winter. Famed for his aggressive all-in riding technique and his incredible talent at thriving on tight technical indoor circuits, Mundell’s return adds just another fan favorite to the 2026 SuperEnduro calendar.

With confirmed dates to be announced by the FIM, Mundell’s comeback assures fans of even more of the mayhem and spectacle that have made the Aussie a must-see rider in Europe.
Billy Bolt of Husqvarna Factory Racing faced a challenging fifth round of the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at Turkey’s Sea to Sky, struggling with illness over the three-day event and ultimately placing 11th overall.
Following impressive displays at rounds three and four of the championship in Italy and Spain in September, Billy was eager to maintain that excellent performance on his TE 300 at round five. The three-day racing format featuring Beach Race, Forest Race, and Mountain Race typically benefits the Brit, enabling him to demonstrate his diverse hard enduro abilities.
As the Beach Race kicked off on Thursday, Billy was determined to leave his impression, even though he was dealing with an illness.
Navigating the qualifiers and heat races, he advanced to the super final with notable ease. Despite being low on energy, the brief race benefited him, allowing him to secure a solid victory and earn the three championship points available.
For the time trial on Friday, the Forest Race featured a course exceeding 40 kilometres that led participants deep into the forest and over rugged trails near the city of Kemer. Managing his pace effectively, Billy propelled his TE 300 to achieve the fourth fastest time, securing additional championship points.

Saturday’s highlighted Mountain Race had participants dash from the seaside at Kemer to the peak of the nearby Olympos Mountain, which stands at 2,366 meters high. Measuring 64 kilometres in distance, the route is infamous for its unyielding elevation gain and progressively challenging obstacles and terrain.
Turkey’s Sea to Sky hard enduro results 1. Manuel Lettenbichler (KTM) 3:49:24.25 2. Mario Roman (Sherco) 3:55:12.01 3. Mitch Brightmore (GASGAS) 4:02:41.37 4. Wade Young (GASGAS) 4:20:33.90 5. Graham Jarvis (Husqvarna) 4:23:20.48 11. Billy Bolt (Husqvarna) 4:44:28.52
Aware that his illness would hinder him, Billy was resolved to give his all and finish in the best possible position. Beginning strong, he maintained contact with the front group of cyclists as they navigated the initial rugged canyon areas. Regrettably, a navigation mistake caused Billy to fall behind the leaders, compelling him to struggle through the rest of the race alone. Worn out at the finish line, he secured a well-earned 11th place overall.
The Husqvarna Factory Racing squad now shifts focus to the sixth round and second-to-last event of the FIM HEWC at Germany’s GetzenRodeo on October 24-25
Bolt said:“It became a tough race for me here in Turkey. I have been pretty sick all week and today I just struggled. I tried to hang with the leaders as long as possible, but it was hard to manage to do that. Then I made a large navigation error and lost touch with them. As the course became increasingly difficult the higher up the mountain we rode, my physical condition suffered. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my day or week here. Hopefully I can rest up, get healthy again, and return to my best and push Mani for the win at GetzenRodeo in a few weeks’ time.”
Jonny Walker’s always been pretty straightforward with his opinions, and what he just said might mean something big is about to happen in Hard Enduro. After he split from Beta Motorcycles and thought about what to do next, the British rider hinted that we could see a huge change in the toughest part of off-road racing — looks like the four-stroke could be making a comeback.
“I think there’s going to be change in the next few years between two and four-stroke in extreme. Four-strokes could be coming in more. I’ve heard certain riders are pushing to ride a four-stroke, not naming anyone but they’re pushing to ride one in extreme because they prefer it.” Walker told Enduro21. “There could be a change coming very soon.”
That one line could totally become the next hot topic in the sport. For ages, two-strokes have been the kings of Hard Enduro ’cause they’re light, easy to handle, and super reliable when you hit a rough patch on the rocks. But when Walker teased that four-strokes might be making a comeback, he wasn’t just blowing smoke — it really shows how the sport, the riders, and the tech are all changing.
A Shifting Scene
The two-stroke has for almost a decade been a favourite tool of every major Hard Enduro rider — from Billy Bolt to Mani Lettenbichler, their mechanical simplicity and light touch rendering them untouchable on tight, technical ground. However, the latest four-stroke has been a rather different creature. Lighter, snappier, and infinitely tunable, the difference between it and its two-stroke rival has been increasingly diminishing.
Walker’s been on both sides. His Beta 300 two-stroke days earned him victories at Romaniacs prologue, Red Bull Tyne Ride, and a few Hard Enduro and SuperEnduro podiums. However, with increasing numbers of firms building reputable four-stroke enduro bikes — and riders finally taking a gander at what they’re capable of — the British veteran’s words strike just the proper chord.
Why the Four-Stroke Argument Matters
It’s not whether you are a fan of a particular engine. It’s more whether the whole sport is shifting. Four-strokes give smooth power, better climbing stability, and better traction if set up correctly. They might not tear through a rock garden like a 300 two-stroke, but they are demonstrating they are good for endurance races, speed, and consistency races.
Therefore, as a group of factory teams are investing their R&D hours into four-strokes for EnduroGP and cross-country type riding, it’s no surprise that the technology is transferring to the extreme scene. The A-class riders — even Walker himself — are catching on.
“Honestly, I’m not too worried,” he said when someone asked him about his next bike pick. “I chose a two-stroke mainly because if something goes wrong at the track, I can fix it on my own. It’s way harder with a four-stroke. But I think there’s gonna be some shifts in the next few years between two and four-stroke in extreme.”
The Walker Perspective
That mix of forward thinking and realism defines Walker to a degree. He’s not quite letting go of the simplicity of two-stroke yet, but he definitely knows where the sport is going, proving how sensitive he is to its progression.
So, while Walker’s thinking about his next steps after Beta, he’s all about performance instead of sticking with a brand. He said, “I’m only going to go with a team that supports me with a good enough bike and who’ll push to help me win,” and if he ends up riding a four-stroke, it might get people talking for a bunch of reasons.
What It Means Coming Up
If Walker is correct, and increasing numbers of elite riders start to prefer four-strokes, we might witness a large upheaval of bike development and set-up thinking within the Hard Enduro paddock. Riders may reassess weight bias, their cooling, and their delivery of power to try and enable their larger engines to perform better when things are tight and technical.
It’s too soon to forecast a two-stroke extinction, but a two-stroke-crowned Erzberg or Romaniacs podium a few years hence is easy to imagine. As riders push the bar, so does technology, stretching what’s possible for enduro-dominant off-road rides.
For Jonny Walker, it’s pretty obvious: the sport’s evolving — and he’s totally cool with going along for the ride.
“Four-strokes could be coming in more,” he says. “There could be a change coming very soon.”
The 30th anniversary edition of the notorious extreme enduro, the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, has been scheduled — mark your calendars for June 4–7, 2026.
Preparations are well underway for the milestone event, as the enormous open-pit mine in central Austria gets ready to welcome top off-road motorcycle competitors and countless enduro riders from around the world.
Erzbergrodeo Turns 30
Starting in 1995 as a tough off-road motorcycle competition — essentially a race to the summit of the mine — Erzbergrodeo has evolved over the years into a full-blown Extreme Enduro festival.
Numerous superlatives have been coined around the Iron Mountain, and it’s said that the very phrase “Extreme Enduro” originated at Erzberg.

Over 35,000 competitors from more than 55 countries across all continents have taken part in the 29 editions of the event, with over one million passionate motorsport fans visiting what’s become known as the “Woodstock of Extreme Enduro Sports.”
Katoch on the 30th Anniversary
Karl Katoch, the driving force behind it all, shares that preparations for the 2026 Red Bull Erzbergrodeo are well underway:
“Bringing the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo to its 30th edition is not only an emotional highlight for our crew. We want to celebrate the world’s largest festival of the Extreme Enduro community with the participants, their companions, the visitors, and our long-standing partners.”

Katoch goes on to say:
“We are already working on many new ideas and concepts for the anniversary edition that will offer spectacular motorsports action and a tremendous festival atmosphere. The 30th Red Bull Erzbergrodeo will once again gather the world’s elite offroad motorcycle racers at Erzberg, and we look forward to providing all visitors with an unforgettable and action-packed experience.”
A Major Platform for Partners and Fans
Mark Schilling, Head of Marketing and Organization at Red Bull Erzbergrodeo, adds:
“The 30th event anniversary is also the perfect platform for involving partners. With live TV coverage of Red Bull Erzbergrodeo on Red Bull TV and ServusTV, as well as a social media reach of 17 million users during the event, we are able to reach a broad, extremely active target group.
In addition, we offer year-round campaigns and outstanding, action-packed interactions with visitors and participants on site. The emotional bond between our partners and Red Bull Erzbergrodeo visitors is truly unique.”
Who’s this handsome chap then? That’s Billy Bolt introducing his latest vlog from Weston-super-Mare — and after that, it’s sheer kempt chaos. “We had a stinker in the last one,” he laughs, sweeping aside a “catalogue of technological blunders” before diving head-first into the chaos of race prep on the Iron Giant’s beach.
This time, the world champ and his partner-in-crime Stan are lining up for the vintage class, complete with 500cc two-strokes, soggy sand, and British weather that “wasn’t just wind, it was madness.” Between dodging storms, fixing kickstarts, and joking that “my sister’s doing this race for her first time,” Billy somehow finds time to shout out Cardo Systems, his vlog sponsor, promising in-helmet comms for the next day’s showdown.
By Sunday, chaos reigns again. Storm fences fly, schedules shuffle, and the “epic duel” between Billy and Stan never happens, but Bolt’s optimism never dips. “We’ll remain hopeful for tomorrow. It’s a bad day to be a flag, that’s for sure.”
Despite the weather, he delivers a classic dose of Billy energy: laughs, breakdowns, and pure love for racing on sand. “Next year,” he grins, “I’m gonna be on that podium.”
The Erzbergrodeo and Romaniacs organizers have unveiled a new ‘Hard Enduro World Ranking’ system designed to standardize iThe Erzbergrodeo and Romaniacs organizers have unveiled a new Hard Enduro World Ranking system designed to standardize international hard enduro events through an ATP-like points system based on results.
Starting in 2026, the proposed Hard Enduro World Ranking (HEWR) will establish a new scoring system in hard and extreme enduro, based on the ATP/WTA world rankings in tennis. Participants will collect world ranking points throughout the year at all participating races in their respective categories.
The aim, they say, is to provide a transparent, global comparison of the performances of international Hard Enduro athletes throughout the season.

The idea is to recognise riders, organisers, and events in different parts of the world and make them count. To unify races without a championship title at the end of the year but still promote events throughout the world.
This plan will also give young up-and-coming riders the opportunity to step into the spotlight as well as give the ability for riders to be ranked at the type of events they excel at and not necessarily those which a series organiser decides.
Race directors Karl Katoch and Martin Freinademetz of Red Bull Erzbergrodeo and Red Bull Romaniacs, who are the heads behind this new system, say they are aiming for an alternative to the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship — a way of “unifying events under the hard enduro banner without inclusion or association with an actual championship” and to make it easier for young riders in particular to have a career.
“Hard Enduro has developed globally over the last few decades. From South Africa to Central Europe, from New Zealand to South America, North America and Australia. For several years now, the offroad motorcycle scene in Asia has also been moving increasingly towards Hard Enduro.
“Previous world championship formats have focused only on the highest-level competitions in the scene and tended to overlook positive developments in the junior markets. With the Hard Enduro World Ranking, we want to showcase the diversity of the sport and see it as an important task to support, bundle, and promote junior racing events and thus the next generation of Hard Enduro riders.”
Says Red Bull Romaniacs organiser Martin Freinademetz, explaining the motives behind the Hard Enduro World Ranking.
Red Bull Erzbergrodeo organiser Karl Katoch adds:
“Before awarding world ranking points to the participating athletes, the individual races must first be categorised according to specific quality criteria.
“Details such as the number of top riders participating, the nationality mix of the starting field, the infrastructure for spectators, the media coverage and reach of the event, the distribution of prizes or prize money for the winners, and the number of race days are used to transparently divide the racing events into different categories – from Supreme to Hobby.
“The number of world ranking points awarded to participants is then based on these categories. This scoring system allows organizers and their participants to move up to the next higher category at any time – and thus gain experience, competence, and reach.”
The aim should be to work together
The attempt to bring international Hard and Extreme Enduro events together under one roof is not new. Back in the 2000s the idea of merging renowned extreme enduro events resulted in the creation of the WESS (World Enduro Super Series) in 2018 and, finally, the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship in 2021.
Turmoil and debate never seem far away from the FIM World Championship, not least for the WESS championship and its close association with Austrian motorcycle and drinks manufacturers.
The subsequent demise of WESS Promotions after four years running the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, a new promoter and calendar announced shortly before the start of the season in March 2025, and the decision of Erzberg and Romaniacs to not be part of the world championship is all part of the ongoing debate.

The Hard Enduro World Ranking welcomes the recently founded WERA (World Enduro Riders Association), which has also been announced today.
“We invite WERA members to contribute their opinions and expertise to the selection of HEWR races.”
Adds Karl Katoch. “We are also keen to establish further cooperation with the FIM. The aim should be to work together rather than against each other. We see the Hard Enduro World Ranking as a supplement to the FIM World Championship, not as a competing event.”
The next step will be to present the official Hard Enduro World Ranking website and publish all the detailed information on how the world ranking points are awarded. Registration for all interested Hard and Extreme Enduro events for the Hard Enduro World Ranking will begin on January 1, 2026.
