The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a multi-round mountain bike racing series that is sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale. The reigning series leaders in each class are identified by a special jersey.
History The first World Cup series – which was composed of cross-country events – was held in 1989. The Downhill World Cup was inaugurated two years later, and the Dual Slalom World Cup was launched in 1998. The dual-slalom format – which involved knock-out heats with two riders on the parallel courses in each heat – evolved into four-cross (with four riders on a single course per heat) in 2002 before being dropped after the 2011 season. Riders win points according to their placing in each event. In 2023, enduro was added to the UCI World Cup series. UCI Mountain Bike E-Enduro World Cup races have been held since June 2023. In 2023, Enduro World Series (EWS) was renamed to UCI Mountain Bike Enduro World Cup (EDR), EWS events are renamed to EDR World Cups.
The replacement world series for 4X World Cup is the 4X Pro Tour and for XCM World Cup is UCI MTB Marathon series.
