Enduro is still the hottest ticket in mountain biking but let s cut through they hype and find the very best enduro mountain bikes.
We cut through the hype to find the very best enduro mountain bikes in the current crop of race-ready longer-travel bikes.
An enduro bike is basically a mountain bike with at least 150mm of suspension travel. They’re built for the rigours of racing full-bore downhill whilst being sufficiently efficient on climbs and contouring trails too.
To be competitive, the bikes need to strike the perfect balance between speed and efficiency on flatter trails, yet still be able to blast descents that wouldn’t look out of place on the World Cup DH circuit. A compromise that is further complicated by the fact that minimal mechanical support is allowed at races, so the bikes need to be ultra-reliable too.
