Stoked? We are! Grinduro returns to Japan in 2023 with Salsa Cycles. We’re looking forward to returning to Japan to see all our friends and share the Grinduro party once again!
The unique format of Grinduro combines the best elements of a mountain bike enduro with a gravel grinder-style road race. Festivities include three days of epic riding, an impressive display of art and music, excellent food, great people and camping!
Entry is still open, so be sure to get signed up and get your place on the start line of the global awesomeness that is Grinduro.
The course is a serious affair, but the Grinduro isn’t meant to be a sufferfest. We’ve linked together some of our favorite local roads in a quiet corner of the Hakuba area.
The course features a mix of surfaces (smooth pavement, gravel and single track)
Japanese mountain is quite steep and rough gravel and trail.
With a mass start from the wonderful Hakuba Alpine Village. Overall time doesn’t matter, only the four timed segments. The Grinduro segments are designed to reward the most well rounded of rouleurs.
For those seeking more party than race we offer the Grindurito, a half distance class. At 40km long and with 1400m of climbing and with just two timed segments.
At its heart, the unique format of GRINDURO combines the best elements of a mountain bike enduro with a gravel grinder-style road race. but the magic happens when you add great food, an art & bike festival, high-quality music and camping in an epic location.
