A true legend of mountain biking and a multiple-time champion, Isabeau Courdurier etched her name in cycling history by clinching the 2024 Enduro World Championship. This triumph marks the peak of an extraordinary career that began in cross-country before she shifted gears to dominate the enduro scene.
Since 2018, Hutchinson, a leader in high-performance mountain bike tires, has been by Isabeau’s side in her quest for excellence. Together, they’ve developed cutting-edge products like the Griffus and Toro Gravity tires, designed to tackle the toughest international courses.
Isabeau Courdurier has solidified her status as one of the greatest athletes in Enduro MTB history. With 55 World Cup podium finishes, she has proven her consistency at the highest level of competition. Her victory at the inaugural Enduro World Championships in 2024 was a career-defining moment, not only marking the end of her racing journey but also the beginning of an exciting new phase.
In 2025, Isabeau is stepping away from competitive racing to embrace new challenges. Her decision reflects the unique struggles faced by many women in sport: balancing the demands of elite competition with personal aspirations and long-term goals.
Isabeau’s journey has been a testament to perseverance, courage, and passion. She has broken down barriers for women in endurance sports, inspiring others not just with her achievements on the track but with her commitment to advancing the role of women in cycling. In her new role, she aims to encourage more women to rise to the top in disciplines historically dominated by men.
Isabeau’s evolution—from World Champion to ambassador and soon-to-be mother—is a powerful reminder of her resilience and drive. At Hutchinson, we are proud to have supported her throughout her incredible career and are excited to continue working with her as she embarks on this new journey.
Isabeau Courdurier is more than a champion; she’s a symbol of what’s possible when determination meets opportunity—a true inspiration for the entire mountain biking community.
