from whoop UCI - the Enduro Open "returning to enduro roots" ENDURO OPEN: AT THE HEART OF MOUNTAIN BIKING ADVENTURE Enduro at its heart is about adventure. The format ’s origins pitted competitors against remote, raw terrain across multiple days of competition, and its self-sufficient nature meant skills with a multitool were as crucial to winning as technical riding abilities. It has also been a testbed for new mountain bike technology, with dropper posts, 1x drivetrains and E-bikes all put through their paces in Enduro before being adopted by the wider industry. In 2025, the UCI Enduro World Cup is...

That's odd. https://youtu.be/W1-9iJFJmpk?si=bI291D9uVPcT5csr&t=1042

If I can add my 2 cents here. I don't think Sram paid Jack, or the team, anything. That whole YT deal is that they run whatever they want because they don't take money from any sponsors. Now I think that was changing because the industry is struggling and they probably saw how much money they were losing out on. My best guess is YT asked Sram to pay to support the team and they said no, so YT doubled down on the TRP/Fox association they had already been building.

Word from a lot of media is that the next 30~ days are going to be busy on this thread. Happy spring/sea otter season to all those who celebrate the relentless innovation we all don't really need!

Can confirm. This is the road gap on the Psychosis DH race last summer:

Conti fans rejoice, enduro super soft is here

Thanks @sspomer for the shoutout and for starting this thread. At least here the only thing that will get slammed are some dropper post. 😆 Thanks all for the feedback too, many improvements already including a model database for droppers

I thought you were right so I built one! dropperchecker.com Doesn't solve the missing frame insertion info. But still makes it a bit easier to make a call.

Not a clear screen shot, but Orbea DH in the wild with a cover. From Tahnee instagram, looks like it’s working well
