Oregon’s only enduro race series is back for its fourth year. Racers compete individually in age and class divisions and complete two timed runs — your best time counts.
Each race is limited to 100 riders. Points are awarded to the top 10 overall finishers at each event and accumulate across all three races. You must compete in all three events to be eligible for the Champion of the Dirt Wave Series title, awarded after the final race in Newport. Please read the descriptions below to determine which category is right for you, and review the Trailforks info for each venue — courses differ in difficulty, length, elevation, and terrain.
Highly skilled riders comfortable with a wide range of trail obstacles including steep and loose terrain, technical rock gardens, and Black Diamond trails that may feature jump lines and larger obstacles. Cat 1 Expert is the competitive category — cash prizes are awarded to the top overall male and female finisher at each event.
Riders who can handle technical terrain, smaller jumps and drops, and are skilled at cornering. Sport riders are capable of completing most trails without walking a section but may choose to go around larger jumps or drops. Racing experience is not required for Cat 2.
New for 2026, e-bike racers now have dedicated age-group categories. Only Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes are permitted — no throttle-operated e-bikes. E-bikes are subject to inspection during the event weekend.
The Sport-level e-bike field — same Class 1 pedal-assist rules apply. Come ready to race and find your place on the e-bike podium.
Categories may be combined if fewer than 5 participants register in a given category. OBRA-sanctioned event — valid OBRA license required to race.
Cash is awarded at every race to the fastest Cat 1 Expert finishers — only Expert is eligible.
The top 10 overall finishers at each event — for both acoustic bikes and e-bikes — earn points toward the series total. Category and age group do not factor into series points; only overall finishing time counts. Cash prizes are awarded to the top overall male and female Cat 1 Expert finisher at each event.
