Giant Legends Enduro Series 2027

The Giant Legends Enduro Series is a mountain bike enduro event in Rotorua, focusing on forest racing and a relaxed atmosphere with friends. Organisers promote Rotorua as Aotearoa New Zealand's mountain bike capital, and the series uses this location with timed downhill sections, social transfers, and the slogan “Make Enduro Fun Again.” It caters to riders aiming to improve their speed, while also accommodating those seeking a leisurely day in the forest with companions. The event format is flexible: organisers select the trails, and participants decide the sequence in which to ride them. With options for shuttled and non-shuttled runs, along with long and short courses and opportunities for re-runs, the day offers more freedom than a strictly timed enduro. Long-course participants begin together, short-course riders start later, and there are no fixed times for specific trails. Entry fees begin at $99, with a benefit for Rotorua Mountain Bike Club members.
