Can you race an enduro bike?
To race enduro competitively, you’ll want a full-suspension bike with at least 140mm of suspension travel, and up to 170-180mm of travel. There’s nothing in the rules to stop you using a hardtail mountain bike or lightweight cross-country bike but you’ll find it hard work on the descents.
How long are enduro stages?
As we mentioned before, enduros vary widely. Some races may only cover 15 miles/ 25 km, very little elevation, and have a total of about 20 minutes of timed stages, while others could be up to 40 miles/ 65 km, climb 8,000 feet/ 2450 meters, and an hour of timed descents over rough terrain.
Are enduro bikes good for trail riding?
So the question is which is the best bike for the type of riding you enjoy? The trail bike will be better for climbs and fast flowy singletrack, while the enduro bike will be better suited for blasting challenging descents. While Enduro bikes are designed for climbing they are not as efficient compared to trail bikes.
Can you jump with an enduro bike?
It bounces around too much leading up to the face of the jump due to the tight suspension and lightweight small wheels. Never really feels planted/stable. Its fine for trail jumps and smaller/medium downhill jumps..but on larger ones it feels weaker.
