Behind Abestone stands the passion, vision, and experience of Michele Bosi, one of the most respected names in Italian Hard Enduro.

An international rider who has competed in some of the world’s most iconic events, including Red Bull Romaniacs and Erzbergrodeo, Michele has spent years tackling mountains, rocks, riverbeds, and extreme terrain. It was through these experiences that a simple yet ambitious idea was born: to create an Italian event capable of delivering the same spirit, excitement, and challenge found in the greatest Hard Enduro competitions around the world.

That vision became Abestone Hard Enduro. More than just a race, it is a project designed to showcase the territory, challenge riders, and provide an authentic experience for everyone who shares a passion for off-road riding. From high-altitude mountain ridges to technical sections through rocks and streams, every part of the course reflects the knowledge and experience of someone who has ridden this terrain firsthand.

Being both a rider and an organizer gives Michele a unique perspective when designing the event. His courses are spectacular and demanding, yet carefully planned to be enjoyable and rewarding for riders of different skill levels. His philosophy is simple: create a genuine challenge that inspires newcomers while pushing the limits of the world’s best riders.

Today, Abestone has become a recognized landmark on the international Hard Enduro scene, but its foundation remains unchanged: a passion for adventure, determination, and the unique emotions that only extreme enduro can provide.
