The highlight of the season, the National 4X Championships, will take place on 24 August as part of the iconic Malverns Classic Festival, offering fans the ultimate celebration of mountain biking.

After a successful first year as the series organiser, Scott Beaumont will once again be organising the series.

The 12-time national champion said:

“After competing in the national series since the very first event in 2003, the opportunity to become the organiser of the series last year was too good an opportunity to pass on. After a successful first year, we are excited to build on that experience and success to continue to grow the sport of 4X. We are excited to welcome back our 4X family and embrace new riders to the most exciting mountain bike sport.

“Thank you to British Cycling for their belief in my plans and their support for four cross. Thank you to Schwalbe for their continued title sponsorship. Surf and Turf will be supplying all our promotional materials at the events and Ultimate USE for supporting the whole series with custom made trophies. DMR and Motul will also be returning as series sponsors and we will continue to operate using Squorz, making it much easier for riders to follow race numbers and overall series points.”
