Hard Enduro races are a real challenge. Be well prepared if you go and participate as a hobby rider. Know exactly what awaits you. Off-road tracks always look easier on YouTube filmed on a GoPro than they are in reality. Testing your abilities in a training lets you know whether you’re ready, and gives you the confidence you need. Our enduro motorcycle guides are regular participants in these races in Romania, have won numerous medals, and are the perfect tutors for you.
- Real race track, or matching terrain.
- Local tutors who know the tracks and participate in hard enduro races.
- At your pace, for your level.
- Learning and improving techniques, and getting lots of background info and tips.
This is a unique opportunity. Before going on an official race track we acquire the permission from the race organization.
What you’ll train
You’ll exercise what you want to learn, according to your level. If you’ve never been to a race, then topics to cover are:
- properly passing other riders, and letting other riders pass you
- equipment and gear you need
- navigating the race track (spotting color bands, using GPS), and what to do if you lost your track.
- conserving energy. it’s all about conserving energy.
- bike preparation before race, regulations
- find out which race category is the right one for you
- exercise the difficult parts
Which race category is for you?
Hard enduro races are for professionals, aspiring professionals, amateurs and hobby riders. They usually share the same base track, with deviating paths in between. Races often come with the categories “profi“, “expert” and “hobby” in the Romanian hard enduro championship. At Romaniacs they are called gold for profi, silver for expert, bronze for hobby, with the additional categories iron and atom. Profi is for professional riders, like Graham Jarvis and Manual Lettenbichler. Expert is for the next generation of pro riders, and skilled enthusiasts, those who spend every weekend on the bike, and are physically in shape. Hobby is for enthusiasts and seasoned hobby riders, people who spend 20+ days each season on the hard enduro bike.
Most hobby riders don’t compete to win – they compete to finish, to make it in time to the finish line. By far not everyone is able to arrive. Some try to be faster than their buddy. Finishing, without injury, and having a lot of fun, is our recommended target for hobby riders. A result a hobby rider can be proud of.
Some races are easier to finish, for example Hard Enduro Heniu, others are tougher, for example Romaniacs. After seeing your enduro riding level we can advise you which race to tackle first, and in which category.
Motorcycles and protective gear
You get one of our six KTM EXC-F 350 hard enduro bikes, or alternatively a 2-stroke bike, in perfect condition, with the seat for your body height.
You also get the whole set of safety equipment for your body size. Before the enduro trip we ask you for your measurements.
Requirement
Prior enduro or hardenduro riding experience. Hard enduro race videos on YouTube always look much easier filmed on the rider’s GoPro than they are in reality. The camera flies over obstacles and loose rocks, and the path looks flat even in places where it’s so steep that one can barely stand.

Enduro Nuts Tours
Out of 5 stars
Overall rating out of 48 Google reviews
If you want a great enduro experience, easy going for every level. Go Nuts or stay home!
Wir waren als Paar für drei Enduro-Tage angemeldet. Ergonomisch lag das Offroad-Training für mich schließlich doch nicht drin. Also bin ich mit meiner GS auf Asphalt gefahren, mit gleichem Ziel wie die Enduro-Jungs. Abends Treffpunkt im Hotel mit erstklassigem Essen, Whirlpool und Sauna. So hatten die Enduro-Jungs und ich ebenso unseren Spaß. Er ist ein sympathischer Kumpel und zeigte viel Verständnis. Ich kann die Enduro-Nuts bestens weiterempfehlen - auch wenn ich nur halb mit dabei war.
The best enduro tour you can imagine! Excellent guides with a wealth of knowledge and a passion for their work! CU!
Excellent experience If you wanna see the mountains and have a blast , you should definitely try the enduro nuts experience. Paul was the best. Period. Next time we’ll take the 3 days trip.
Incredible experience!! We spent the whole day with Paul and it was wonderful. He gave us his motorbikes, which are very well prepared, guided us perfectly and taught us a lot of concepts that we as beginners didn't know. By the end of the day we were confident enough to face considerably difficult steeps. Amazing experience, and although we had 0 energy remaining by the end of the day, I would highly recommend to anyone who likes bikes and mountains to try, the feeling when you are high in the mountains, seeing the landscape and riding your bike cannot be described with words. And after all the journey Paul took us to his friends wonderful pizzeria, with the best pizzas I had in a long time. Thank you very much Paul from Carlos, Pato and Juan, and see you soon!
Very kind staff. Thank you 🤙🏼 Best Andi
Zwei Tage zurück von der Tour. Immer noch mit einem Grinsen im Gesicht. Vielen Dank Paul, vielen Dank Alex und Grüsse an die England-Fraktion. Absolute Empfehlung für jeden der mal von der Strasse runter möchte. Nicht zu vergessen Cluj- sicher, sauber und definitiv den ein oder anderen Zusatztag wert.
One in a lifetime experience. We booked the 3 days riding adventure tour. At the first moment we met Paul we immediately felt the energy and passion for enduro riding. He showed us the equipment and it was of the highest quality and in perfect condition. Paul kept always his cool and educated us perfectly how to get one with the bike and how to have more control while riding. He is such an experienced, humble and funny person, just amazing. This trip was one of the coolest experience I made in my life. We will be back for sure next year. Thanks again Paul for everything.
Spent 3 days with Paul over the mountains. If there was ten stars I'd give him them. From start to finish it was an amazing 3 days. The bikes, gear and terrain were exceptional. Memories for a lifetime were made here. Accommodation was fantastic aswell.
What an amazing experience! First time in Romania and did the 5 day tour. Great accommodation. Food was great. The terrain was beautiful and Paul is a great guide and will have this memory engraved in my head for a lifetime
This was the best adventure I had in my life! First I was afraid that my skills wouldn't be enough for this tour, as I never did off-road bevor and also didn’t drive my Ducati for more than 12 years. We have been a group of four guys, all only experienced (more or less) on streetbikes. But from the first moment we met Paul, he gave us a feeling of security that he would take care of us. And that’s what he did! First there was the excellent equipment in really good condition, he showed us to use comfortable and safe. Than he taught us respect for the terrains at the same time he let us get trusted to the bikes and ourselves. In only one first practice Paul assessed the different abilities and knew what is the right track for our group. Hour by hour we got more self-confidence and improved our skills (because we listened to Paul's clear instructions) and Paul adapted the standard constantly to our progress. At the beginning it was tiring, but then the fun came. We did an amazing trip through the mountains and forests. Every hour a complete different view, different surrounding, different terrain, different challenges. The only constant was Paul’s incredible way of being! funny, friendly, helpful, certainly, motivating, calmly, … Thank you Paul for giving this incredible experience to me. I will come back, see you soon. Best wishes Richard p.s.: „It’s all about the clutch!“
This was the fourth time I booked with Enduro Nuts and they never cease to impress me! I live in London so I try and go out on rides with them whenever I come visit family in Romania. The ride was amazing and the bikes were top notch and well maintained as always. We booked a full day trip next to Cluj and we had a blast. Safety was always the main priority and we could always choose whether we wanted to go across a feature or not. The gear was clean, new and it perfectly fitted my body. (They ask you about your sizes during the booking process if you don’t have your own gear). The staff was super friendly and gave me very helpful advice on my technique. The ride improved throughout the day because of the great coaching I received.
Thank you Paul for that great experience! I was having two days of Enduro training and tour as an „experienced“ street bike rider without any off-road knowledge. I was getting great tips and exercises to challenge my self and improve my ride. And all of this was done on the ride, so I enjoyed the landscape and saw my improvement. Due to the personalised tour I felt safe at all time. Thanks again!
Such a well organised tour. Paul and Cristi were extremely professional and easy going. The gear was great quality and the bikes never missed a beat. We covered alot of ground over the 3 days and seen some amazimg scenary. Highly recommend to anyone.
Paul is such an amazing guy and guide! I had a blast driving in the mountains with him. Easy to communicate with prior to the tour, a very good teacher and it really shows that he loves what he does. He will adjust the difficulty for your circuit depending on how proficient you are on an enduro bike so don’t hesitate if you’re a beginner, intermediate or expert driver. Highly recommend! Thanks again Paul! I’ll come back one day hopefully.
This training was AMAZING!! I’ve learned so much and my trainer, Paul, has so so much patience. We had few hours of basic training about maneuvering the bike and then we went riding up the hills. Such a great experience! Definitely will come back🤍
