 If Brian Lopes beats some of the world's best riders on a 120 mm tail suspension, i'm sure you can make it to finish at least.
  • 2 2
 But Brian uses a 29er, so it´s not the same on 120mm 26er

 I am a XC racer and watching this makes me want to do Enduro, Only problem is that the bikes cost alot more!

 Get on it mate, doesn't require a carbon superbike. Grab a HT with some 140mm+ forks and give it a go. The whole point of enduro is that it is open to anyone so some of the easier smaller local races you could probably do on your XC bike anyway.

 Amazing. Been waiting for this for so long now! So excited to get my enduro bike and get on the scene. Awesome edit as well. Bring on Rd.2!!

 Shorter stem will improve a lot and make your ride much more funny for sure mate!!

 xc bike with shorter stem, wider tires, 1x system, dropper= enduro bike.

 I ride enduro and all mountain type trails on a 100mm hardtail trail bike (a bit slacker geo than a race XC bike) with a 710mm bar and a 60mm stem. There is nothing stopping you!

 Its a specialized camber comp. I am not sure if it can handle everything that an enduro race asks for
  • 3 0
 Had a look at the Camber mate, looks like a decent trail bike and it'll do you fine for your first few races. H/A is a little steep but not enough to be concerned and the stem could do with being a little shorter but really there is nothing there to be concerned about. People always get worried about their bike not being good enough but in the end there are very few riders who actually take their bike to the full limit of the equipment. No more excuses, just get out and ride!

 Is great to see this, I hope enduro racing never gets involved with the UCI.

 I raced my first Enduro 2 weeks ago. Its a lot harder than I thought - no time to chill on the descents like you would on a marathon race, its flat out all the time on the dh, and riding back up for every stage kills you. Its more like racing an XC lap race - very intense.

 Love the enduro format. However, spectating would be a lot more interesting if they added bigger jumps. Also, less slomo in the video please.

 I wonder do the pro riders change their helmet on the fly or just stop?
  • 1 0
 They stop. Ascends are not timed, you just have to make it to the start of the next stage before your start time. No reason then to change helments on the fly.
