Banyuwangi, 2026 – Deep within the lush slopes of Mt. Ijen, the Ijen Erek-Erek Enduro has set a new gold standard for mountain biking in Indonesia. Held at the legendary Erek-Erek Bike Park, this event is not just a race; it is a brutal yet beautiful odyssey through the Lidjen Tamansari Plantation, solidifying Banyuwangi’s reputation as the ultimate destination for gravity-fueled adventure.
Attracting 219 elite riders, the competition bridged domestic passion with international prestige, welcoming athletes from across the Indonesian archipelago—including Java, NTT, NTB, and Bontang—alongside global competitors from Russia and Malaysia.
The Track: A Masterclass in Natural Terrain

- Natural Obstacles: A relentless mix of volcanic rock gardens, exposed tree roots, and unpredictable forest soil.
- The Landscape: Riders speed through high-altitude coffee plantations and dense rainforests, experiencing the unique microclimate of the Ijen slopes.
