The participants faced eight challenging stages that demanded both technical finesse and physical endurance. The varied routes led through forests, over slopes and offered technically demanding descents - a real highlight for every enduro enthusiast.
The competition for the title was particularly exciting. Andre Kleindienst (STEVENS racing Engineer by Tomy.) came out on top in the men's race and was crowned the first German E-Enduro champion. His winning run was characterized by impressive speed and precise control on the challenging trails. Sofia Wiedenroth (Specialized Enduro Team) triumphed in the women's race, leaving the competition behind with her outstanding technique and tireless efforts.
A long weekend full of adventure, community and unforgettable moments awaits gravel enthusiasts from May 29 to June 1, 2025: The MAXXIS Gravel Masters celebrates its premiere as part of the iXS Dirt Masters Festival in Winterberg. Amidst the thousand mountains of the Sauerland, participants can look forward to the essence of gravel biking: Experiencing nature, relaxed togetherness and the pleasure of being on the road together.
After some news about the iXS Dirt Masters 2025 was published in December and the waves were sometimes high, some clarity should now be provided once again. The fact is that the festival remains true to itself and the changes can be seen as a further development.
The downhill discipline has been part of the programme since the first edition of the festival. Big names have already been on the start gate, for example Vali Höll completed her first race in the Rookies Cup here in 2013 or Aaron Gwin celebrated one of his countless victories.
