What Is Enduro Racing?

[@Abschiebehauptmeisterr]

when your legs hurt, your arms burn, when you a more low flying than riding, when you have a big fat smile on your face and you think "couldn't be better" now THAT IS ENDURO

[@ScottyLaughland]

I feel your pain... But nothing beats it!

[@Abschiebehauptmeisterr]

+Scott Laughland true, enduro is best! and by the way: you are doing great, GMBN became a even better channel since you are with them. keep up. i need my GMBN video after work!

[@zesty4011]

Why is there so many haters in this channel? How about you try to make videos daily, I bet you can't even make ONE good video! I am happy with what they produce, if you're not, then too bad. They're trying their best. Best of luck GMBN lads.

[@dallaslavis8524]

so many haters = 8 dislikes?

[@dallaslavis8524]

vs 900+ likes

[@zesty4011]

Dallas Lavis Have you been reading the comments lately? Obviously you haven't...

[@dallaslavis8524]

Nah, I know what you mean man, these guys actually make really good content that i enjoy. I don't know why people would want to hate on them... I just thought I'd be a smart ass is all. :P

[@jesuscrust6043]

You're absolutely right, I like this channel and I watch their videos a lot and it really helps me. Dont know why all the hate tho

[@jackmutchler7869]

Cant wait to start racing this year

[@uriatanbdutra]

I'm Brazilian, and i've been following you and GCN since I found it. Is really informative and fun. you guys, all of you are doing a great job. thank you

[@gmbn]

+Uriatan Benevides Dutra Thank you! Scott.

[@robertsutton3001]

Any good trails in Brazil where you’re at bro?

[@kientran4818]

What's the difference between enduro and trail riding?

[@ozzydavies9852]

It depends on the parts you have on your bike but my enduro is fast and handles uphill and downhill well,but it isnt mastered so its a jack of all traits

[@alvarezherrera666]

trail = shorter local distance, less time riding, more practical ride(less competative with uphill or downhill riding), bike is more nimble, less suspension, weigth is not as important, less gear range, flat pedals, shorter chainstays. slacker head angle, less bb drop.......

[@beginneronabike8212]

They are practically the same thing but enduro is definitely alot more competitive then normal trail riding

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Omg, enduro is literally just a competitive trail riding. Bikes differ slightly just to accommodate specific parameters characteristic for racing. That is all. No need to overthink it, really.

[@uonadtehrrocks]

Enduro racing is a race discipline, thats like asking what's the difference between the FIA GT Championship or (GT Racing) and a loacl track day.

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

I love one enduro event in my area. Trails are fairly cool and every minute on the link roads counts as 1 second. You can actually make up quite some time against the lazy DHers! Also, there is some money for the fastest "flag to flag" riders (everything counts) so you can approach it as some weird XC race too!

[@substrate001]

Love the channel! I know this is older vid but just now saw it. WHERE IN THE WORLD is that insane ladder bridge coming down over those huge rock slabs @ appx 2:00 into the video?!?! That looked like so much fun!

[@mackymaca]

So that's what it is. Thanks, GMBN!

[@-._._._-_._._.-]

such a pleasant way to start the day

[@zackt5783]

Congrats on 200k subs guys! the channel is growing bigger and bigger everyday! :)

[@scintilical9442]

CONGRATZ on 200k guys

[@evano9867]

I love the constant hand gestures

[@faidutore]

Thanks for the subtitles guys !!

[@pooceq]

Great video and love the soundtrack. Thanks people!

[@drewcama5481]

Thanks this was so needed. Now I'll watch it again in slow motion to get what I missed. Ok, second time around. " generally your ?( 1:36 lays, delays) don't count to your over all time. But just be sure to check this..." This helped a lot. I had no idea there was such an event, though I've heard you mention Enduro often enough. I thought it was just one longer distant MTB event. Now I know it's something completely different. Do you have to use the same bike in all the stages? I could see some sponsored rider using a down hill bike for the down hill stages and hard tail for climbing stages.

[@toobigal]

Finally it all makes sense to me. Thanks for this explanation.

[@temokchtitlan]

Almost a year for this channel!! we are waiting for a very motivational video!

[@natdlareg]

I was wondering about this. Many thanks!

[@josegalindo6575]

1:22 I lovit this model, genius lt 700 tplus

[@panolog]

What bike park and name of the trail is the one where the guys are riding the wooden bridges in the alpine on 2:00?

[@1969Escobar]

Great work guys!!!

[@PhBenz]

Great video, very interesting. It would be nice if you'd make video(s) about all of the riding styles and competitions. 👍🏻

[@gmbn]

+Philipp Bentsianov coming soon! XC is up next...

[@PhBenz]

+Global Mountain Bike Network 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻

[@petersauer94]

Enduro racing is what MTB is all about these days its the natural progress from XC which still using hardtails and tend to bring the race to the people.

[@richardruns4cake]

Thanks 😀 Think I may give a grass route event a go

[@gmbn]

+Richard Wright That is exactly what we love to hear! :)

[@allenkvextreme]

i kind of wish to have a top of the line enduro so i can record sick videos. i have a gt aggressor pro as of now quite a difference

[@oneb1gear]

you should be a weather man with those hand movements. 😂

[@DoctorYoda2]

xD

[@memeticos9023]

Yes

[@YourFrienjamin]

I was thinking magician.

[@sharvanikumar7256]

Crap I read this comment before the video started now I couldn't take his eyes off of his damn hands 🙄

[@MarinStipkovic]

This is Scott's best video.

[@jacksshortfilms4845]

Where are you riding at 2:00 ????

[@trailrider3796]

Verbier

[@benjaminroulston600]

Hey where abouts are those trails @ 2 minutes? The massive ladder sections through the huge rock gardens? Love your videos! :D

[@jones1749]

I will never watch this the same way after watching the GMBN outtakes XD

[@markbradley3440]

Love the channel info great thanks guys

[@Yusufmasron]

Hey thanks for the insights of enduro

[@scottcampbell4351]

Well done on 200k guys

[@AlphaAce15]

HAPPY 200,000th SUBSRIPTION

[@05kendalls]

I am the spirit of Enduro

[@sillem4337]

Thanks for this video. Now tell us sth more about AM and FR :)

[@gmbn]

+Sillem Maybe this one would help you? It's an epic ride we did in Malaga last month! Some great tips on spares, nutrition and riding technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKC1aaKZiLaXZqs

[@RideOrDieRobz]

Advise about how and where to look to find local events would be a big help. I'm from the East Anglia area though so it's tricky finding established places that host events locally. Looking to try riding competitively so I'd be looking for entry level events. Keep up the good work.

[@gmbn]

+Robbie Waters check out enduro mag's race calendar feature! They have a lot of detail on regional and grass root series...

[@RideOrDieRobz]

+Global Mountain Bike Network thanks for the reply guys see you out on the trail ;)

[@evanthomas1555]

I do this in the woods on my Walmart mountain bike, but I don't race, and it's fun as hell

[@uriatanbdutra]

nice video!

[@flynnvries2433]

Make a top 5 priced bikes

[@kerrhardie2732]

Where is that at 1:59?

[@akinadom]

Can you guys do a video on proper Fullface helmet fit?

[@mikesweber0056]

Hey guys great videos! Where can I watch or get updates to the Enduro World Series once the series begin? I'm in the USA and just getting back into riding. Would love to keep up to date on the latest.

[@gmbn]

+Mike Weber we'll have a video covering just that before the start of the race season!

[@davemore1862]

Does someone know where the place at 2:00 is?

[@Evilmushee]

Going to do my 1st enduro race soon... Should i use my long travel DH bike (flatline pro) or my cross country bike ( bossnut) in your opinion

[@keatchlum]

For enduro biking what lenght of the handlebar will you advice? Thanks.

[@chunk2126]

Great channel boys. Love to see some direct bike comparisons. enduro to enduro instead of 26 to 27.5 to 29 etc. your opinion on how they ride and where the changing terrain might influence what bike you buy. e.g., best enduro bikes for north shore riding, or for bike park riding.

[@rascal1234]

Would "cross-country meets downhill" be a good description?

[@gilsaiet]

Why the UCI and EMBA don't work togther on the EWS making it a UCI discipline ? or if the EWS goes wonders without the uci why would "one" want to be a discipline registered at the uci?

[@georgesaba7573]

I've always said I ride enduro, but I think I may be incorrect. A typical ride I'll do with friends is we bomb a downhill trail, we'll pedal another couple miles to the nearest easiest climb, then we'll climb the trail back to our cars. Would this be considered enduro or xc? Ik I'm kinda rambling at this point but I thought I'd mention that my bike is an enduro bike also (intense tracer 275 aluminum)

[@stuartcarson9378]

Sounds like hard work.

[@julieannepaull]

Cool riding

[@joshuasnyder682]

Thanks man! :)

[@sebastianpinkham6955]

Could you please do a video on what pads to where when riding ednduro/downhill and what brands please

[@gmbn]

+Sebastian Pinkham there are plenty of great reviews online as to what pads to buy and new releases be sure to check them out!

[@sebastianpinkham6955]

+Global Mountain Bike Network okay thanks, keep up the amazing videos guys!!

[@gravitybass]

How does riding a lift up to the top require endurance?

[@IsmaelDiazIAGoupeFinancier]

What would you call the T1 biking in Xterra competion ... Cross country or Enduro? Thanks again for such a great video !

[@brendanbutler7830]

what would be the best tips for going around sharp corners for beginners

[@gmbn]

Look around the turn, get off your front brake and get the weight low and to the outside by dropping your outside pedal.

[@brendanbutler7830]

+Global Mountain Bike Network tks

[@hannahattenburrow]

Looks cool!

[@RZV1984]

what about this season? will you still ride for cube?

[@edmarsh2730]

Would a enduro bike such as a giant stance or trace be good for jumps and general shredding for a beginner / intermediate

[@sausage9455]

Ed Marsh a stance and trance are not enduro bikes they are trail bikes (the geometry and suspension make them better climbers but not as quick down hill) I have a stance, it was my first decent mtb, i changed the gears to xt 1x and tyres straight away as they werent very good and the brakes are also pretty rubbish but the fame and suspension system are good for the price. In hindsight i wish i bought a second hand bike with all the features i wanted.

[@wallace3199]

Wisteria ❤❤

[@malcolm9756]

i have a bike i think it's enduro but does the rear shock absorber make it different?

[@owenherbert-jones3553]

What back protector would you recommend ??

[@davidroman4107]

what is the diference betwen enduro and downhill bikes?

[@mattsquires9901]

I can't find any endure events in the UK, are there any?

[@gmbn]

+Matt Squires there sure are check out enduro mags website they have a great season planner and calendar.

[@danquaid3447]

i race on a hardtail

[@Aus-nq2uz]

its 11:35 pm in Aus

[@internetenjoyer1044]

i dont get the point of intervals between stages that are necesary but dont matter...if they make them meaningful (beyond the riders just being more tired than if they were pure downhillers, thats not really an elegant seperation from the other branches of mtbing) then i'd want to get into it, but right now it looks like xc is for me

[@neon3690]

It's funny enduro MTBing use to be XC races like marathons, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours. At least in Australia.

[@SlightlyGrimGaming]

Just started looking into MTB racing yesterday. Would MEgavalanche be an Enduro race?

[@ryanparret7775]

Yes, it is a very long and difficult enduro/marathon.

[@wernerrietveld]

No. Mass start, and a very long track without repetitions would make it a marathon. Having said that, the length and the type of terrain covered would probably mean that riders excelling in the enduro discipline would win in from experts in XC or marathon (because the race is only going downhill, and for the marathon men way to short) and from downhill experts (they usually race for not much more than 5 minutes, where the megavalanche takes about 45 minutes) Maybe it is just it's own category.

[@normadicn5700]

I would say Megavalance just downhill.

[@lougp6318]

hello guys could you please help me,which kind of enduro bike should i buy for the next session,my height is 159cm.....thank you

[@matthewlaidler5979]

Is there a enduro series in the uk for 14-15 year olds?

[@gmbn]

+Matthew Laidler Mini enduros.

[@edfitzpatrick2548]

3:06 doesn't look he will be stopping soon XD

[@asdfgoogle]

Where can I find enduro trails in my locale?

[@graved1gger]

Does 7-8 rides a day on downhill track on enduro bike but using chairlift to get on a mountain count as enduro? :D

[@Tuckersteward]

+Anton Savitskiy kinda yeah

[@tom989]

2:00 omfg i must go there!

[@robertrobertson8575]

So it's cross country racing with breaks? What am I missing?

[@sethbryan8962]

Yes

[@matthewgomersall7231]

Im racing my first local gravity enduro series this year (I'm only 12)

[@gmbn]

+matthew Gomersall great, we love hearing this, let us know how you get on, good luck!

[@Tuckersteward]

+matthew Gomersall same but im 13

[@matthewgomersall7231]

+Global Mountain Bike Network nervous though one of the trails is a double black diamond INSANE stage

[@Tuckersteward]

matthew Gomersall just remember Slow is fast better to go slow and not get hurt so just take time this season get a grip on racing

[@matthewgomersall7231]

+Tucker Steward Yea probs gonna just get used to racing this season

[@ムース-r5d]

soooo... are trail bikes and enduro bikes the same thing? im a bit confused

[@panolog]

No, they are not. Enduro bikes are more capable doing downhill, the angles are slacker and they have usually 160mm and 170mm travel.

[@ムース-r5d]

ok, thanks

[@DanielSpielmann]

Where can I watch Enduro races live online?

[@gmbn]

+Daniel Spielmann we'll have an in depth video on the EWS race series and how to follow shortly before the race season kicks off!

[@DanielSpielmann]

Global Mountain Bike Network You guys are awesome.

[@haydendec6991]

what about sam hill

[@gebus26]

nice vid

[@benjohnson1297]

hey guys i am starting my first enduro season i was wondering if i could get sponsorship

[@exyreap1039]

Are enduro bike good for technical climb and Xc trails ?

[@EricFB]

Good or capable? They will do it but they are heavier and more slack than an xc bike. If your plan is to go on long cross country treks, you're better off with an xc bike. If you're dreaming of the decent the whole time you're climbing, get an enduro.

[@VAX1970]

Keep your hands still!!!

[@MarcD1974]

Are there Enduro events for complete beginners?

[@gmbn]

+Marc Darr there sure are, check out Enduro Mag they have a list of grassroot events which you'll be able to find out where and when they are!

[@MarcD1974]

Cheers

[@advaitpatki7848]

What happened to Si ?

[@alantheunicorn6362]

3:46 why did he get so angry?!?

[@elroc10]

+Global Mountain Bike Network Although there are many disgruntled followers, I still love the channel and find your videos very informative and helpful. I'm still giving Scotty a pass, hoping he gets a little more comfortable and cuts loose. The chemistry between Neil and Marc is still missed. Neil is actually the one who inspired me to start shredding and got over XC style riding. Cheers

[@gmbn]

+elroc10 Thank you! Great to hear your out shredding and enjoying the trails...

[@RichVideoW]

Why is Tracey Mosely not mentioned 😦

[@gmbn]

+RichVideoW she has stepped down from racing in 2016. We have some features with her soon on the channel to make up for it!

[@jdwalker9718]

Enduro is the new Endruo.

[@WangBatTumenjargal]

I got a problem now I have save a money to buy my first MTB but there are too much type to decide I want to find a bike that can take hard terrain and good for very long travel can someone help

[@23lnp]

supersmartboy14250 the MARIN - MOUNT VISION 8 2016 model 😉

[@MegaKlipan]

You don't consider cross country mountain biking? Cuz there is no videos bout it :/

[@MegaKlipan]

+HardRockFinland :D Guess you are in bad shape mate :D

[@mrlewis152]

I guess this is about as close as it will get. Non competitive 'enduro'? That's just 'mountain biking' isn't it.

[@tobybartlett6578]

+HardRockFinland burrrrnnnnnnnnn

[@neildonoghueMTB]

We have a 'what is XC' video coming soon and we are aware that we need to feature more xc content. I promise it is coming soon! Neil

[@MegaKlipan]

+Neil Donoghue Tnx :D

[@camilo55988]

#ASKGMBN hi guys, i'm soon to buy a new bike. what are the main/key differences between a trail and an enduro bike?

[@yintaozen5353]

The suspension travel, if Trail MTB Bikes the travel for fork only 140-150mm Max and for the rear shock is about 3-5 inch max. For the Enduro, at least you needed 160mm fork travel suspension and (at least) 6 inch rear shock travel Last but not least, the tire sizing minimum is about 2.40 whether it's 27.5 inch or 29 inch wheelset for the Enduro bikes and for the Trail Bikes 2.35 is maximum if I'm not wrong, because bigger than that size just make you difficult to tackle the uphill section with the limitations that Trail Bikes had

[@scotyfoxy5547]

How old do you have to be to enter a downhill or enduro event? :) thanks

[@gmbn]

+ScotyFoxy55 Juvenile (13 - 14) for downhill and enduro a little older but there are plenty of grass root events popping up so we would suggest checking them out perhaps through your local club!

[@chrislarkin8195]

+Global Mountain Bike Network I don't even know where I can find my local club, or if I would be fast enough at all XD

[@scotyfoxy5547]

+Global Mountain Bike Network thanks :) im planning to enter a downhill or enduro race sometime! Ill try asking malvern mtb club, thanks GMBN! :)

[@Tuckersteward]

+ScotyFoxy55 in utah you have to be able to ride a bike

[@scotyfoxy5547]

+Tucker Steward are u firing shots? ;)

[@rullusion]

Can I use and Enduro bike for a hundred mile ride?

[@gmbn]

You probably can, but you'll find it very tiring. Rather find a shorter travel bike

[@janzu4336]

What about 3 runs???

[@benjaminthomas8931]

do you need a full face helmet for enduro?

[@Tuckersteward]

+Benjamin Thomas most rules say you do need a full face helmet for the race but you are allowed to carry 2 helmets so strap full face to your back pack and then wear partial and just switch but be sure to check with your local guide lines it depends how fast you can get going

[@gmbn]

+Benjamin Thomas exactly what Trucker Steward said, all depends on the event and organiser some you do and some you don't. I'd suggest checking the rule book when you enter the event. Of course though a full face helmet does offer more protection and I find it confidence inspiring to ride wearing one especially for racing.

[@benjaminthomas8931]

Thanks a lot!

[@Tuckersteward]

Global Mountain Bike Network I feel like I am tougher than Iron Man and Bell Super 2R full face helmet is a great one

[@Leo_Inclan]

I'm slightly offended that Tracy Moseley wasn't mentioned.

[@gmbn]

+Nero Inclan Tracey is without the most dominating female rider in the sport but for 2016 she has stepped down from full time racing! Look out for another Enduro video with the riders to watch for the season ahead, it features some super fast girls...
