"The World Cup Downhill and Cross Country series are clearly the people's favorites when it comes to spectating mountain bike racing. The courses are relatively easy to access, the racing is right in front of you, and the energy is palpable, making for thrilling broadcasting and coverage. However, enduro racing offers all the same excitement, if not more, and is a total test of a mountain biker's skills."
"This segment of the sport is hard to spectate due to the nature of the courses. With Grit and Glory, the UCI Mountain Bike World Series aims to change the public perception of the Enduro World Cup through an exciting docuseries. This series follows all the ups, downs, and in-betweens of this phenomenal sport, which, in my opinion, doesn't get its fair share of the spotlight."
Enduro mountain bike racing combines technical, high-speed descending with the physical and mental endurance of cross-country, creating intense multi-stage competitions that demand versatile, self-sufficient riders. Courses often cross remote, hard-to-access terrain, making live spectating difficult despite dramatic racing and spectator-worthy energy. Grit and Glory documents the Enduro World Series to shift public perception by delivering broadcast-ready storytelling from thrilling venues across Europe. The series follows elite global riders through chaos and composure, showcases the sport's demanding skills and grit, and positions Enduro as equally or more exciting than Downhill and Cross Country disciplines.
