Let’s Play! WA Gravity Enduro Series launches 2024 in the stunning south-west.

The Wooditjup Trails just north of Margaret River followed by Meelup-madness in Dunsborough, this two-day Enduro is a game-changer taking place across two venues.

Get ready to pedal! The flowy trails at The Pines and the quick thrills of Dunsborough cater to riders of all levels, promising a fair-dinkum Enduro blast.

While you can opt for a single day, Series points are up for grabs only when completing the course across both days.

Don’t miss the podium presentations on Sunday in Dunsborough!
