Categories designed for every level
Overlanders Xperience offers multiple categories designed to accommodate different vehicle setups, experience levels, and ways of enjoying the event.
From highly competitive teams to families and beginners, OX categories allow each participant to choose the level of challenge and involvement that best fits their goals.
Xtreme Class
The highest level of competition
Xtreme Class is the most demanding and competitive category in Overlanders Xperience. It was created by merging the former Modified and Standard Pro categories into a single division with a higher level of difficulty.
Xtreme Class is designed for experienced off-road teams with advanced vehicle preparation and strong navigation skills.
​
Typical requirements include:
-
35” to 37” tires
-
Snorkel and winch
-
CO Monitor with alarm
-
Proper recovery equipment
-
Solid navigation skills
-
Strong teamwork between driver and co-driver
​
Routes in Xtreme Class are technical and challenging, requiring precise navigation, recovery skills, and strategic decision-making under pressure. This category is not based on speed, but on accuracy, timing, and route execution.
Adventure Class
Challenge without extreme modifications
​
Adventure Class is the evolution of the former Tourism Pro category. It is designed for participants who want a competitive challenge without the need for extreme vehicle modifications.
​
This category focuses on:
-
Navigation and route planning
-
Technical off-road driving
-
Teamwork and strategy
​
Adventure Class offers demanding routes while remaining accessible to drivers with moderately equipped vehicles. It is ideal for participants looking to progress their skills and experience real off-road navigation competition.
Discovery Class
Explore, learn, and enjoy the experience

Participants in Discovery Class may join with:
-
4x4 vehicles
-

This category emphasizes exploration, learning, and enjoyment rather than competition. Participants can take part in guided routes, observe competitive stages, participate in OX Quest activities, and enjoy the full base camp experience without competitive pressure.
