The Hard Enduro World Championship is starting the 2025 season with a significant change: the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) has officially confirmed that the Swiss sports management agency ProTouchGlobal will be the new promoter of the series with immediate effect.  The company will take over all organizational and commercial tasks relating to the championship.

The FIM Hard Enduro World Championship (HEWC) is facing an uncertain future.  The previous promoter, WESS Promotion, has announced that it is withdrawing from the 2025 season due to financial difficulties.  This means that the series currently lacks an organizer, which seriously jeopardizes the continuation of the competition.

The World Enduro Super Series (WESS) has joined forces with the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motorcyclisme). As a result, the WESS will become the Hard Enduro World Championship.
