WHES is the WA Hard Enduro Series. Our series builds a community of riders empowered to overcome mental and physical challenges presented by the nature of the sport. We keep our series simple, rider-centric, safe and fun. WHES events are set up into a number of classes - Gold, Silver & Bronze is available for every event. Women’s and Junior classes MAY be available at some events (this doesn't mean that if you are either of these you can't ride!). WHES Inc. is affiliated with Motorcycling Australia (MA) and Motorcycling Western Australia (MWA). Our affiliation means our events operate under guidelines from MA and our riders are covered by Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance.

Hard Enduro is an event taking place outside using Enduro motorcycles on a track made with natural or artificial elements (earth, sand, etc.), on which are found various, mainly natural, “obstacles” (hillclimbs, stones, tree trunks, stretches of water, etc.), to test the rider’s technical ability to ride and the motorcycle’s ability to withstand toughest terrain. The competition is to clear the entire course / the number of laps requested as fast as possible. One of the defining characteristics is the combined starting field of amateur and pro riders. If you are ready for a serious challenge, hone your riding skills and come join us!

No, your bike does not need to be registered, however it needs to be in a good condition. Your bike will be checked or scrutinised prior to the race. More details on this can be found in Section 10D Technical Regulations of the current General Competition Rules for Enduro Competition issued by MA.

Outside assistance refers to the act involved when any person, other than the rider, another rider actively participating in the current race (does not need to be the same class) or an official performing his or her duties, comes into contact with the motorcycle. Once a rider has finished their race including a “Did Not Finish “(DNF) then they are considered a spectator. Spare parts and tools can be taken to the riders on the course, by any person, but the bike must not leave the area it is getting repaired in i.e it can not go directly back to the pits. The bike can be moved to a safe location next to the track to perform repairs. Any repairs or adjustments must be made by the rider, working alone with no outside assistance. Assistance from any other rider participating in the current race is allowed. “No Help Zones” will be announced and sign posted. These areas are where assistance of any type is only allowed from other riders participating in the current race of the same class. Any person may provide a rider with food and non-alcoholic drinks at any point during the race. Provided the person does not step onto the race course or touch the rider’s bike. With the exception of "No Help Zones" Sweeps may assist riders by lifting motorcycles, moving them to a safe place or up a hill.
