Racing

Last weekend, after a longer break from racing, the team came together again at the E Velo Vert Festival 2026 in Les Arcs and Bourg-Saint-Maurice: two days of fast stages, tough climbs, and exciting battles all the way to the finish.

As in previous years, the German E-EDR Championships took place in Willingen, this time as part of the renowned Bosch E-MTB Series. After a demanding but highly successful week at Trans Madeira, Helen had only three days at home before heading straight to the Sauerland region. On the final day in Madeira, she had suffered a large wound on her arm, so the race was never going to be an easy one.

Last weekend marked the fourth race of our first race block. After staying in Riva during the week, we headed to Castino in Piedmont on Thursday for the third round of the European E-MTB Tour.

The M2S Race750 is the racing version of the Avinox M2S production motor, which was officially presented on April 9, 2026. The official UCI approval followed on April 15, 2026. Just three days later, at the first stop of the European E-MTB Tour in Slovenia, the motor made its debut in official UCI race conditions on the track: the ROTWILD Schwalbe Gravity Team was the first team to compete with the Race750.

At the beginning of May, the third race of the season, the Bosch E-MTB Challenge, took place in Riva del Garda. After two demanding weekends in Slovenia and Belgium, we were particularly looking forward to the one-day format, especially as Théo, Helen, and Kelan were each dealing with a few minor injuries from the previous weeks.

The team traveled to Belgium for the recent enduro race weekend. Contrary to expectations, the courses in the low mountain range featured a steep, muddy, and extremely technical profile that was absolutely World Cup-worthy.

And then came the grand finale between the national and world stages – a season finale that embodied everything we fight for.

Challenge accepted: At the end of August, the ROTWILD Schwalbe Gravity Team took on the challenges of this year's UCI Enduro and E-Enduro World Championships. On the extremely demanding courses, it was about more than just seconds – it was about a shared passion for the sport, strong team spirit, and unforgettable moments.

After the good results from the Alpe d'Huez mega-avalanche, the team arrived in Fiesch on Monday evening with a very good feeling.

After a long drive from Combloux, the fourth stop of the E-Enduro World Cup, the team arrived in Alpe d'Huez on Monday. Unfortunately, we were not able to start at full strength.
