Has Enduro Mountain Biking Died? | The Global Mountain Bike Show ep.5

Welcome back to The Global Mountain Bike Show! This week, Neil, Fergus, and Adam sit down to debate what the ultimate dream bike garage looks like and whether it’s possible to survive with just one perfect ride. We also dive into the current decline of professional enduro racing, before discussing the controversial Enhanced Games and what it could mean for the future of cycling.
