About

Born in the Principality of Monaco in 2019, the Series made the step up to the upper tier just one year later by being entitled as the first-ever UCI E-Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup providing eligible points to access the UCI World Championship.

E-Cross-Country (E-XC) is WES core racing discipline and WES Events also feature Amateur Rides with the pros, called Ride WES. International Networking and Workshops are organised together with local authorities and the electric industry to discuss e-mobility options and the key role of the e-bike in the “new era”, along with the development of electric sports and cycle-tourism.

THE FORMAT

WES is the first world series reserved to E-bikes only, the sole UCI E-Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup and it includes the E-Bike Fest, the Amateur side event.

Double race format in a weekend, the circuit being 3 to 4 km, multiple laps – 7 or 8 depending on the lap length – resulting in a 20 to 30 km total distance with a 1000 to 1400 m climbing. While providing riders with eligible points to access the UCI E-MTB XC World Championship, WES is also an unmissable attraction for all E-Bike lovers.
