Quadcross of Nations (QXoN) is a single ATV event organized by FIM at the end of the year.[1] The event features teams of three riders representing their nations. Each competition includes three motos, with two riders from each nation competing in every moto. The location of the event changes from year to year.

History

edit

The event began in 2009, originally limited to European nations. In 2017, the competition expanded to include countries outside Europe [2][3], such as the USA, Argentina, and Australia. Canada participated for the first time in 2018.

Up until 2024, the event was officially known as the Quadcross of European Nations (QXoEN) and was organized by FIM Europe. Due to growing international interest, FIM President Jorge Viegas announced that, beginning in 2024, the Quadcross of European Nations would continue as a separate European Championship, while the Quadcross of Nations would become an international event, open to teams from around the world. Viegas added:

"Following the success of the Sidecarcross and Quadcross of European Nations and the interest from international teams to take part in the Quad class in recent editions, the FIM and FIM Europe have agreed that the European Championships will be elevated to the FIM level as of 2024. We also hope to welcome a FIM Quadcross World Championship in the near future." [4]
