CRUISE UP, PIN IT DOWN

Enduro Bikes

What is enduro mountain biking?

Enduro mountain biking has its roots in enduro racing. In enduro racing, riders are timed on specific sections (usually downhill), but must travel between timed sections.

Why should I pick an enduro mountain bike over a trail bike? 

If charging steep, burly trails as fast as possible really whets your whistle, get an enduro bike. You’ll still be able to rip it up for the day with your palson trail bikes, but you’ll absolutely demolish descents and burlier sections of trail. Sure, you might suffer a bit more on the climbs—so if climbing prowess and keeping cross country levels of pace on the flats is important to you, then go for the trail bike. But if sending it as fast as possible downhill (and the occasional bike park day) is appealing to you, go for enduro.

Is riding an electric enduro mountain bike fun?

For sure! An electric enduro mountain bike makes sense for a lot of reasons. For one, it allows riders to ride a super tough and capable mountain bike without ever feeling the weight of the bike on climbs. It also let’s riders save tons of energy when climbing or transitioning between trails. The result is the ability to ride more trails in a day than ever before. You’ll cover way more ground, and won’t get nearly as tired doing it. It also lets riders keep up with friends who might be a fit fitter on the ups—so you’ll be able to hit up more group rides than before. The electric approach might not be for everyone, but if any of the above sounds appealing to you, an electric enduro mountain bike is a fantastic option.
