What Is The Enduro World Cup & How Does It Work | UCI Mountain Bike Enduro World Cup Explained

[@fadjarroosdianto6079]

Just building 29er enduro bike. Cant wait to ride it on track. Especially after watching this

[@Seppster58]

I am fairly new to this type of racing but really stoked to see them. Love the channel. Well worth the wait!

[@gmbnracing]

Nice, Steve! We hope this filled you in on all you need to know! Thanks for the support! 👊

[@benwigginsbikes]

It would be cool if we could watch the races and if the "world" cup involved more than one stop in the USA.

[@darrylmorgan]

Brilliant channel guys.Really looking forward to this seasons races!!

[@gmbnracing]

Cheers, Darryl! Stay tuned for more sick content! This season of MTB racing is going to be sick! 🤘

[@brownzys]

Love this new chanel ❤ excited for whats to come on here

[@gmbnracing]

Thanks so much for the support! We're so stoked to be bringing you all the action! 🤘

Too bad live coverage of the races is so terrible. Makes me wonder why Discovery even bothered doing a deal to get the media rights. They're doing nothing with it so far. It's too bad, because this type of racing really shows off the type of riding a lot of people do: pedal up for challenging downhill trails.

[@roellecorregidor1201]

Seriously, it’s 2023 and it’s a joke we can’t even watch any of it except highlights or personal pov.

[@janeblogs324]

4:20 0.25x playback speed. Carbon bars aren't worth saving 100 grams, change my mind

[@fillfreakin2245]

Good catch - I didn't even see the bar broke when I first watched - I was looking at the wheel thinking he'd planted it pointing the wrong way.

[@DiegoLopez-dw1lh]

​@@fillfreakin2245 I thought the same

[@weirdcan]

@@fillfreakin2245 Same here. First time watching was like “why the heck did he fall? That landing didn’t look too bad…?” 😉

[@marklouieadame]

I find enduro bike as all around bike trail, XC attributes and everyday downhills

[@Michal_Guncar_Ganczarczyk]

The basic question is what this abbreviation EDR supposedly means and why it has been changed to thie. Not for example EDC "Enduro World Cup". Still nobody has officially explained it

[@frederikjacob1985]

Guys, what's the song of the intro? I really dig this!

[@syntrax-og]

why only 1080?

[@Brownef1sh]

So what happened to the Enduro coverage this weekend 😢

[@piast99]

Discovery promised that there will be a EWC coverage in tv and everywhere. So, we are just after one of EWC races which weren't broadcast anywhere as far I am aware.

[@MrBananaxXx]

How fast are the enduro guys compared to the DH guys? Could you put the top enduro guys in one of the DH rounds and they would do ok?

[@janeblogs324]

Other way round mate, the top DH guys moved to enduro. Jack Moir, Sam Hill etc

[@DavidFoundCo]

Richie rude was also a junior downhill champion before he moved to enduro

[@TylerHunt556]

They are timed on their downhill run during enduro races. They do have to pedal up to the start before a certain time but the race results are based on the decent. So both enduro racers and DH racers do well in either race. Pretty interchangeable

[@Adrian22i2t]

vali Hol looks unstopable in her first try from DH says it all....

[@Simon-gk9ug]

I wouldn't exactly say the current enduro bikes pedalable up hills as there were in the early years, where they had longer liaisons. Focus is more on decendability

[@ryanthompson1442]

Definitely pretty much downhill stage racing at the WC level now

[@fast915]

Where is the Maydena coverage guys? Why are we in a situation where pro riders that are busy racing, post awesome content and race coverage and you guys have posted nothing since the race finished yesterday arvo. Not a good start guys. Useless.

[@niklasbirksted8175]

Still have no clue why aero clothing isn't a thing yet.... I would be very surprised if it would not account for at least 30 seconds over a half-hour race.

[@streddaz]

Aero clothing was a thing in DH in the 90’s. As tracks became more technical and not as fast they moved away from it and it didn’t make all that much difference. They don’t hit the speeds over long distances like road racing. The peak on you helmet would be enough drag to undo any savings clothing would give.

[@niklasbirksted8175]

@@streddaz I would be amazed if 90s DH riders/teams had access to more knowledge about aero gains than we have today. However, after researching for a bit, I found that there are limitations and riders are actually getting their clothes tailored as tight as UCI allows. But I think the gains of more aero clothes, even on MTB, is fairly well documented. At least, I found a few sources confirming it in less than ten minutes. One from bikeradar, although anecdotal, found a 3% gain/2 seconds pr. 70 seconds. That was done in a skinsuit though, and it's not realistic to convert a road outfit to DH or enduro, but protection and aero are not mutually exclusive. As for aero, you don't need the speed over long distance for it to matter. As long as you go +20kp/h (ish), aero drag is the main thing slowing you down (the threshold could be slightly different as rolling resistance is so much higher for MTB and the frames can't be as aero as road bikes). And because one thing (ie. the peak) is a hindrance, it does not mean that you still don't have significant gains to find elsewhere. When the gap between first and second are as low as the examples in the vid, I am yet to see any evidence that aero clothing is not super influential.

[@DJ.V-W]

Anyone know why the women only score the top 30 and the men the top 100?

[@DavidFoundCo]

Icon has been doing a terrible coverage this season. No pro stage coverage yet 🤦‍♂️

[@kroozctrl6284]

The irony is EWS was created because they didn’t want any part in UCI. And here we are facepalm

[@Lyl321]

Even youtube subtitles can’t correct neil’s pronunciation😂

hazardous sport this is...
