Bergamo, Italy – The International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE), first held in 1913, is the oldest and most prestigious off-road motorcycle competition organized by the FIM. Known as the true “World Championship for Nations” of enduro, the event spans six consecutive days of racing with hundreds of riders from over 30 countries. It is the ultimate test of endurance, where reliability, durability, and team spirit make all the difference.
2025 ISDE: A Special Edition in Bergamo
The 2025 ISDE will hold special significance as it returns to Bergamo, Italy, from August 24 to 29.
