Own The Podium

If you have been thinking about racing more next season, or committing to a few weekends instead of just “maybe” showing up, this is for you. Grab a Forbidden bike and win some cash.

Own The Podium, presented by Forbidden Bikes is our new 2026 race-season program built to bring more energy to local racing and reward riders who line up, send it, and put down results across the season.

We are putting up to $10,000 in cash prizing, plus additional prizing on top, across key Canadian Enduro and Downhill race weekends, working alongside the Canadian Enduro League and Dunbar Summer Series.

How It Works

• 1. Register once at the landing page
• 2. Race eligible rounds in Canadian Enduro League and Dunbar Summer Series
• 3. Land on the podium to get paid
• 4. Podium results count toward a season-long leaderboard

Season Leaderboard

Every eligible event also feeds into a season-long leaderboard that combines Enduro + Downhill. If you finish 1st–10th in your category at an eligible round, you earn points (10 points for 1st, down to 1 point for 10th). Just make sure you submit your result/claim within the required window so it counts. At the end of the season, the rider sitting on top of the overall leaderboard takes home a Dreadnought Framekit.

If you are already on a Forbidden, you are good to go. If you have been on the fence about racing next year, consider this the push. Pick a few weekends, find a few friends, and come line up. See you on the box.
