What is XCO? Suzuki and Like2Bike proudly present an ‘Introduction to XCO’ racing for kids.

Join in an amazing day of power trails at Hobby Park where you can push the limits, push yourselves and show the course who is boss!


What is XCO? XCO is the Olympic discipline of cross-country racing. It consists of lap racing, where riders, depending on their age category are required to complete a certain number of laps of a course which is usually between 4-10km’s in length. 


Suzuki and Like2Bike want to introduce more children to the exciting discipline of XCO, whilst at the same time improving and furthering their technical abilities. This ‘Introduction to XCO series’, consisting of 3 events, will be at a level where most kids will feel comfortable and encouraged to become more proficient riders.
