Aussie Enduro-X promoters step down

Promoters of the Australian Enduro-X Nationals, RBP Promotions’ Colin and Dave Robbins, have announced that they will not go ahead with the series in 2016, after running it for four years.

A statement released by the promoters reads:

“On behalf of everyone at the Australian Enduro-X we would like to thank the riders, sponsors, motorcycle industry, event ground support staff, and the spectators for their support over our short journey. We had a vision five years ago to bring the action to the people with the Enduro-X on city-based arenas. We believe we achieved that to some extent.

“However crowd numbers and support from the general public, although supportive, was not at a level required for us to be in a viable position to continue to run the high costs associated with this series. Our costs of running the events far outweighed the return we were getting. We have supported the series out of our own funds with the hope that the series would grow and become self-supporting. This was not the case, and a simple business decision proved to be the final deciding factor in ceasing to plan for the events in 2016.

“By no means are we getting out of promoting events in the motorcycling industry. We see opportunities in other areas which are rider focused and not so much reliant on spectator revenue to support an event of this level in Australia.

“We have met some terrific people along the way and valued all of your support. We look forward to continuing these great relationships in the near future.”
