Kicking off May 1st is the inaugural MX Endurance Watopia Challenge.
MX Endurance members have the chance to tackle one of four challenges to win a whole series of prizes, including cycling apparel from Xceed Sport, a PRfive Frameset from Quintana Roo Bikes, and FORM Swim Goggles.
To get involved you will need an active MX Endurance membership, a Strava account, a Zwift Account and a trainer compatible with Zwift. You will also need to make sure your Strava account is connected to our MX Endurance system in your profile.
The Challenges
The Sprint
Short but definitely not sweet, our sprint challenge takes place on the Fuego Flats Forward Sprint.
This is a 490m flat sprint on the Tick Tock Route in Watopia. On the line: the MX green jersey, which will be awarded to the fastest male and female on the Strava segment during the month of May.
The KOM
Like there was any other climb we could do this on other than Alpe du Zwift!
This 12.22km climb with an average gradient of 8% will see over 1,000m of elevation gain while you force your avatar up the hill. On the line is the MX polka dot jersey which will be awarded to the fastest male and female on the Strava segment during the month of May.
The FORM Swim Goggles TT
The triathlete special: hold your highest sustained power flat out over the Volcano Flat.
This is 12.3km of pure speed with minimal climbing but a brief section off road. On the line is the MX blue which will be awarded to the fastest male and female on the Strava segment during the month of May.
The winners of this segment will also receive a free pair of FORM Swim Goggles.
The GC
For the big one, we need a big route that will push the limits of any rider. Is there a loop more intimidating than the Four Horsemen?
This is 89km with four of the biggest climbs in the whole of Watopia. On the line is the MX GC which will be awarded to the fastest male and female on the Strava segment during the month of May.
The Pink Jersey
The Pink jersey will be awarded to the male and female who are the most active during the month of May. To win this jersey you must host or participate in the most MX Group Zwift sessions.
In order to qualify as a session, you must have at least one other MX Member attending and the session must be no less than 45 minutes long. You will be able to promote your group rides within the MX Facebook group and will be required to post a screen shot of your meet up on a designated Facebook post.
The Quintana Roo Major Prize
One MX Endurance member will be walking away with the major prize, a PRfive frameset from Quintana Roo.
Previous winner of the Interbike Award for Triathlon Innovation of the Year, the PRfive represents all the best aerodynamic benefits of the PRsix. The combination of QR’s SHIFT+ technology, boat-tail airfoils, and leading-edge absent chainstay gives you superior advantages over the competition.
This prize will be awarded to the male or female who has the highest average position across all challenges.
In order to be eligible for this prize you must have access to a smart bike which has the ability to use erg mode (where it simulates the gradient you are riding) and you must not have your trainer difficulty set less than 50%.
This competition is only open to MX Endurance members. However, we are currently offering 2 months free so there is no better time to sign up and get involved and enjoy all of the benefits of being part of MX Endurance!
