What Is The Definition Of Enduro In Cycling?
1. 
Enduro is a type of mountain bike racing. Races consist of three to six timed stages. What makes enduro different from other mountain biking races is that only the downhill portions of the trail are timed. Also, in most enduro races, riders are not allowed to have support staff.
2. Enduro can also be used to describe trails, bikes, and specific mountain biking equipment related to enduro racing.
What Is The Difference Between A Trail Bike And An Enduro Bike?
Enduro bikes will typically have better suspension than trail bikes. More suspension means enduro bikes are better designed for timed downhills.
What Is The Difference Between Enduro And Downhill Racing?
While enduro and downhill racing are both downhill cycling races, there are a couple of key differences.
Downhill is a one-track course where the rider with the lowest time wins. Bicycles used for downhill are designed to soar down steep inclines. Races only last a few minutes, so stamina is less of a factor.
In contrast, enduro has multiple stages and includes transfers. The winner of an enduro race is the rider with the lowest cumulative time over all stages. Bicycles for enduro are also designed for uphill travel during transfers.
How Does The Enduro World Series Work?
The Enduro World Series is the highest level enduro competition and is modeled after motorbike enduro races. As with most enduro races, riders must be self-sufficient, carrying all their own food and tools.
Despite being a race mainly for the pros, a limited number of amateurs can enter the Enduro World Series on a first-come, first-serve basis.
