The 2014 Enduro World Series Kicks Off in Chile

450 riders from 23 different countries got their first taste of dirt at the 2014 Enduro World Series in Chillean, Chile, and boy was it good! Mesmerizing, high-alpine vistas tower over singletrack winding through blazing fall colors to provide an other-worldly backdrop for a battle among the fastest mountain bikers on the planet. We can make fun of the Enduro craze until our chains fall off, but there's no denying that the scenery, terrain and riding at this race is unparalleled. Watch the show, then book a flight to Chile for yourself. Thanks to Sven Martin and Dave Trumpore for their globe-trotting story.

UNREAL - Enduro World Series Day 2 Recon from Chile

After the first day of recon at the Enduro World Series race in Chile, we became a little weary of hearing how epic and awesome the trails were. Spoiler - it only gets worse after this breath-taking slideshow from the second day of recon in Chillan. The loam gets loamier, the flow gets flowier and the scenery just gets better. The world's fastest mountain bikers were introduced to Stages 4-6, high in the Andes, where they tried to familiarize themselves with every twist, turn, root and rock. In just a short time, racing begins as the clock starts, so take in the sights of South America before the battle on the trail begins. Sven Martin and Dave Trumpore drop a truckload of loam straight to our monitors. YEW!

The Enduro World Series opens the 2014 season this weekend, in Nevados de Chillan, Chile. Held April 19-20, stages will start among the otherworldly steaming vents of the volcanic cone nearby the Nevados de Chillan bike park.

Riders will race down the mountain, finishing in the valley forests below. Total stage times are expected to range somewhere between 40-50 minutes.

Vancouver-based Josh Carlson is fresh from a win at the Sea Otter Enduro. Carlson closed out 2013 as the top ranked rider from North America, and is looking to build on that success this season.

An endure race was hosted in La Parva, Chile last week, providing an opportunity for South American riders to warm up for the EWS event. Defending EWS champion Jérôme Clementz won the event handily.

In the women’s division, reigning champion Tracey Mosely is likely to face her biggest challenge in the form of Anne Caroline Chausson, who lost her shot at the 2013 title after an early-season injury.

The EWS is made up of seven events, including a Canadian stop in August, as part of the Whistler Crankworx festival.

Dans la SP2, longue et physique, c’est l’Australien Jared Graves (Yeti) qui a mis tout ce beau monde d’accord en 10 minutes 30s. Second, Jey Clementz termine à 12 secondes tandis que Florian Nicolaï confirme sa bonne forme en s’adjugeant le troisième temps.

Dans l’ultime chrono du premier jour, rapide avec des sections de bike-park, c’est Cedric Gracia (Santa Cruz) qui s’empare du scratch devant René Wildhaber (Trek) et Jared Graves.

A la fin de la journée et après trois spéciales, c’est Jared Graves qui empoche la première journée des Enduro World Series 2014….

Five Things You Might Not Know About The Enduro World Series

The second season kicks off in Chile this weekend. Are you ready for the hottest race series in mountain biking?

Enduro is fast becoming the most popular mountain bike discipline in the world. Why? Because it appeals to the all-round mountain bike rider. Pedalling uphill with your friends before ripping down some rocky, root-strewn trails – what’s not to like?

With the Enduro World Series kicking off this weekend, we’ve put together an introduction to enduro – plus a few interesting things you might not know about the world’s hottest MTB comp.

What is Enduro?

Enduro is an form of mountain bike racing, described as an “all-mountain” discipline.

It was thought up in the 1990s when riders wanted a new sport that combined the techy bike handling ability from downhill and the endurance side of cross-country.

It’s designed to test the world’s best all round mountain bikers – with amateurs entering alongside professional riders.

How does the race work?

The Enduro World Series sets the world’s best racers head-to-head in seven competitions across the globe.

Riders race over a series of stages. Whoever has the combined fastest time over those stages is the winner. These are primarily downhill courses with few uphill legs.

Riders are only allowed one bike and one set of wheels (unlike other disciplines) so they need to think tactically about equipment choice and physical effort when riding the course.

When does it take place?

It all kicks off this Saturday 19 April with round one at Santa Cruz Montenbaik Enduro in Nevados de Chillan, Chile. The rest of the 2014 season is as follows:

Round Two – Tweedlove Festival, Scotland, UK (30 May-1 June)

Round Three – Enduro Series Valloire, France (21-22 June)

Round Four – Super Enduro La Thuile, Italy (12-13 July)

Round Five – Colorado Freeride Festival, Winterpark, Colorado, USA (26-27 July)

Round Six – Crankworx Whistler, Canada (9-10 August)

Round Seven – Super Enduro Finale Ligure, Italy (4-5 October)

The First Day of School - Enduro World Series, Round 1

Apr 19, 2014

by John Wellburn

The first day of school is a pretty good analogy for the first race of the season. Nobody has seen each other for several months, everybody gets back together in one place and there are the obvious questions on people's minds. Who got lean? Who got fat? Who has a shiny new toy to go and play with? Swapping off-season stories and sizing up the competition, the world's elite enduro racers descended on Nevados de Chillan, and as practice opened many riders saw their friends and rivals for the first time since the season ended. For safety reasons, practice here in Nevados is very strictly structured - on Thursday riders could practice stage two in the morning and stages one and three in the afternoon. On Friday it was stages four and five in the morning and the long stage six in the late afternoon. This was so the organisers could make sure there was proper medical support on each stage - as stages two and six are long tracks that start a ways out from the beaten path, they are also technically demanding, so you wouldn't want to be getting up to race pace unless you were sure there was someone to help if things got ugly.
