ENDURO RACE

100% ENDURO RACE.

We wanted to build an enduro bike that delivers uncompromised performance. There are no market studies, no bullshit marketing kinematics, only serious engineering to make the fastest enduro bike we can think of. Built for the big days at the EWS or DH Marathons like the Megavalanche in France. To achieve the highest performance, we knew that we needed to go down the “High Pivot Point” road to achieve our goal of an enduro race bike that climbs like an all-mountain bike but descends like a downhill bike.

Virtual High Pivot Suspension Design

While many high-pivot frames use a single-pivot or linkage-driven single-pivot suspension design, our frames rely on the trusted Horst Link suspension layout. VHP stands for Virtual High Pivot.
