UCI Mountain Bike World Series: Formats
The 2025 series will witness several racing formats:
Cross-country Olympic (XCO)
It is an Olympic mountain biking format, featuring mass-start races over multiple laps on technical courses. It tests the riders’ climbing and descending skills.
Cross-country Short Track (XCC)
This discipline is held at the start of race weekend. These are fast-paced races that take place on condensed tracks over reduced distances. They also help in determining the starting grid for the XCO races.
Downhill (DHI)
A race is staged against the clock where riders descend steeply on technical courses. The fastest time wins the race.
Enduro (EDR)
Riders negotiate multiple timed downhill stages over a day, pedaling to each stage’s start. The rider with the shortest cumulative time secures victory.
