ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine RSS

After the summer break, finally the race we had been waiting for was here – Enduro of Nations in Val d’Isere.

The 2013 Ischgl Overmountain Challenge as test run for the European Enduro Championships in 2014. The endless trails of the Silvretta Bike Arena between Ischgl and the Swiss Samnaun are much more than an insider tip and already well-known as well as much valued among Enduro fans.

There can be no questioning that the birth of enduro has re-energised the cycling industry, providing a whole new outlet for inspiration and development of products that offer DH strength trimmed down to offer pedal-all-day lightness. With the rapid uptake of ‘enduro’ by the cycling industry bikes are rolling off the production lines more capable than ever before, lighter, faster and stronger. Scrutinizing the latest 160mm enduro offerings it is amazing how fast technology has evolved in the last 20 years, the suspension and brakes that we now take for granted carry us faster, further and over more technical terrain than early pioneers of the sport would have dreamed possible. Evolving alongside this flow of technology an esteemed UK company has helped sheppard in new developments and innovation, offering reliable and robust products that have stood the test of time.
