Yamaha Enduro Challenge Returns to East Java
The Shell Blu Cru Yamaha Enduro Challenge 2026 continues with its second series on September 26–27, 2026, at the Graha Tirta Field circuit in Waru, Sidoarjo, East Java.
After a successful launch in Landak Regency, West Kalimantan, in late May, the 5-year-old off-road racing event returns to East Java.
The second series aims to build on the high enthusiasm of both the community and professional racers using the Yamaha WR155R and YZ Series bikes.
Johannes B.M. Siahaan, General Manager of the CS Division at PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM), explained why they chose this location for the second series.
He stated that the Yamaha Enduro Challenge has become a highly anticipated event among enthusiasts.
He added that this year’s event returns to East Java, a region with avid fans of the WR155R and YZ Series.
“The local community also loves the Yamaha Enduro Challenge and wants to be part of the excitement,” he said.
