Santa Cruz Bicycles' team riders Kilian Bron and Iago Garay have found a scary-fast mountain biking track to battle on. Watch them jump, whip, overtake, and tear around some super tight corners on this amazing track. Whatever you do, don't touch the brakes...

As Wikipedia said about enduro motorcycles: An enduro motorcycle is an off-road racing motorcycle used in enduros, which are long-distance cross-country time trial competitions. Further down it saysThey may have special features such as oversized gas tanks, engines tuned for reliability and longevity, sump protectors, and more durable (and heavier) components. Enduro bikes combine the long-travel suspension of an off-road motocross bike with engines that are reliable and durable over long distances. The bike class is named after the motorcycle class: tougher long legged race machines. The happy medium between dh and xc. Even the wheel size is in the middle. But honestly if you haven't figured it out yet then you likely are pretty thick. As for me, I love burly 6" rigs. It has been a niche that we've all loved for years. Just ask kona. The coiler was aimed at that bracket years ago. The spesh enduro has been a 20% up 80% down screaming demon for ever. If you don't think the bracket needs to exist, if all we need is dh rigs and xc bikes, then stop watching enduro videos and enjoy the rest of the genre.
Funny how many are easily baited into so much agitation with every video that mentions the word enduro here. Check back on every post about enduro and count how many are so opposed to it.
For a life style that was born on the quest for freedom and not giving a fuck,why is it so hard for us to accept the difference in riding discipline.
Relax everybody! I'm just making fun how the term ENDURO is used for every video now. But, shouldn't they have shown them pedalling up the hills if this was true Enduro?
Didn't make enough of my trips to the alps this year, illness f*cked me up over there, this video makes me realise how important next years trip is :-)
It's amazing how many people take the title of a mtb vid so seriously! LOL.... The creators probably did that to f*ck exactly with everyone who enters in this debate of whether it's enduro, or not, not 100%, they're not pedaling...blah blah BLAH! Take it for what it is, two dudes shredding some awesome trails.... in their enduro bikes, going FULL Enduro! HA!
Nice riding Iago and company, on nice bikes! I do have to agree though... That's a DH course.
Every awesome Nomad video makes me want one, and then I remember it's less than ideal for "actual" enduro races in the states, and for most trails in the states. So... Where are the "Full Enduro" videos for the Bronson?
THAT would be a better ploy, assuming we are going to just keep on the Enduro fad.
This is the Cachette DH track in Les Arcs. Its not a bad track to ride on Enduro bikes or DH bike, and this certainly is a great video. But sadly for them they missed out on all the really good proper Enduro / Secret Natural Singletrack tracks in Les Arcs......they should told us they were coming and we'd have gladly shown them! Never mind guys - this is what you could have won......http://vimeo.com/104411803
Don't worry, I think they know about quite a few of the tracks in your video, not all of them but quite a few.
Great videos about the Trans Savoie by the way, loved watching those vids !
Hi guy's. I lived a long long time in Bourg St Maurice close to Les Arcs, where we filmed. There are a lot of others secret, natural and beautiful tracks, I agree We just wanted to film on a speed and aerial track. Cachette is famous but landscapes are amazing and so good to ride. we keep in touch for others futures project in the French alps! Thanks Kilian
How can this be 'enduro'? I thought enduro was the cycling event! I'd have been much happier with this if it had been titled 'Two dudes ripping on bikes'!
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' looked enduro, acted enduro, not enduro. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not enduro. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Enduro, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't Enduro. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Enduro, no. You went full enduro, man. Never go full enduro. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full enduro, went home empty handed...

Enduro is cool
DH is very very cool :p
Peace XD
A five mile ride is just a cruise, seeing a 24/42 mile ride to the end is an endurance test of self.

Seriously though, nice bikes and nice riding.
