Ruts and whoops dug by hundreds of bikes kick the front end up and pitch riders over the bars. Collarbone, wrist and shoulder fractures are the classic beach race injuries. Medical expenses up to €150,000 pay for A&E, surgery and hospital care in the Netherlands or at home.
On a long loop of soft sand, an ambulance cannot reach every corner in seconds. If you travel in from Belgium, Germany or the UK and get hurt, assistance and repatriation at actual cost handle the evacuation from the beach and your journey back home.
Knock Out is run as a proper race, with a packed start where handlebars touch in the first few metres. The Competition option covers you racing at this event and at every enduro and beach race round on your calendar this season.
A botched landing off a sand jump, a bike coming down on your leg, a rider arriving from behind: some injuries never fully heal. The permanent disability lump sum, up to €200,000, helps you rearrange daily life and work around them.
The first lap runs on a beach that is still smooth. By the second, ruts and bumps have taken over. North Sea wind, November cold and arm pump after long minutes fighting the sand do the rest. Newcomers burn out trying to hang on to the leaders' pace, then crash once fatigue takes over.
Away from the coast, enduro throws the same knocks at you on different ground: forest roots, rock gardens, river crossings, long special tests ridden alone. Enduro insurance that covers training days as well as races protects you far beyond one weekend in the Netherlands.
Red Bull Knock Out puts professional riders and licensed amateurs on the same stretch of Scheveningen beach. A spectacular mass start, a sand course shaped for the occasion and a knockout format make it a physically brutal end-of-season fixture.
Organising a beach race, an enduro or any bike race with a mass start? We insure all your riders under a single policy. Medical assistance is reachable 24/7 throughout the event, and repatriation is included. We can also partner with or sponsor your event, anywhere in the world.
Yes, the race is open to licensed amateurs under the organiser's rules, so check them before entering. AxeoSport does not replace your licence: it adds personal accident protection for the rider.
No. Personal accident insurance protects the rider, not the machine. It covers your treatment, your repatriation and a lump sum for permanent disability, but no material damage to the bike or kit.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so neither your entry nor your travel is refunded when weather postpones or cancels the event. The policy steps in only after an accident causing bodily injury.
Yes. Cover applies whatever your country of residence, at home and abroad. A rider from Belgium, Spain or the UK gets the same guarantees at Scheveningen and on training days back home.
It depends on the guarantees you pick and on adding the Competition option, which you need for racing. The online quote shows the exact price in a few minutes, before you commit.
