erzberg rodeo 2026

In 2026, the AbsolutMoto team took on one of the world's toughest hard enduro races - Red Bull Erzbergrodeo.

Competing aboard the electric Stark VARG EX, we proved that our team is ready for real hard enduro. Throughout the entire race, we only needed a single battery change - a testament to both the bike's performance and our race strategy.

The weekend wasn't without its challenges. Starting with race number 1057 made qualifying especially difficult, as it meant fighting with a very beat up prolouge stage track, and made it almost impossible to secure a good place in the front starting rows for main event. Despite that disadvantage, we fought our way into the Top 150, earning Row 3 start for Sundays race.

The race itself was nothing short of brutal. With this being our rider's first - ever Erzbergrodeo, simply surviving the race would have been an achievement. Instead, he delivered an outstanding performance, crossing the finish line in an impressive 112th place. An incredible ride and a huge accomplishment.

This experience was a major milestone for the AbsolutMoto team. We've shown what our service team and our race bikes are capable of the competing in toughest races in the world, and we're already looking forward to returning—stronger, faster, and with even more AbsolutMoto riders lining up at the starting gate.
