Priority Cycles may be a new brand to the full-suspension MTB world, but they've got a ton of experience building belt-drive, gearbox bikes — and now they've launched the Vanth, a remarkably affordable high-pivot Pinion gearbox-equipped Enduro bike. So, why did Priority decide to enter the full-suspension bike market now, how did they come up with the wild-looking Vanth design, and what makes the Vanth so much more affordable than most other full-suspension gearbox bikes? We dive into all that and much more with Eddie Meek of Priority and Mike Schwartz, who served as an engineering consultant on the project.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Introducing Eddie (3:20)The Priority brand (4:38)Introducing Mike (6:34)Why a high-pivot Enduro bike?

Gottfried Neumeister, el actual CEO del Grupo KTM, reconoce que hubo una época en la que se dio prioridad al crecimiento por encima de la calidad. En una larga entrevista habla de la pérdida de confianza en el producto KTM, el futuro de Husqvarna y GASGAS, el controvertido diseño de las KTM, la fabricación en Austria y del futuro de la marca en MotoGP. El Mundial de SBK 2025 acabó en Jerez de manera polémica. En la Carrera Superpole, un toque entre Bulega y Toprak en la primera vuelta llevó al turco al suelo, ahí podría haber acabado su temporada. En el parc fermé Bulega fue increpado por la afición turca y el piloto aseguró haber recibido todo tipo de insultos por las redes sociales. En la Carrera 2, Toprak se proclamó campeón del mundo y se fundió en un sentido abrazo con Nicolò Bulega demostrando, como bien dijo Iannone, que el motociclismo no es fútbol. Josep García se proclamó Campeón del Mundo de EnduroGP 2025 en Schopau, Alemania. El piloto del Red Bull KTM Factory Racing defendió con éxito su corona tras un fin de semana brillante. El catalán logró la victoria el sábado y aseguró el título con un segundo puesto el domingo. Con este nuevo título, se consolida como uno de los grandes del enduro mundial.

Mit der WR 125 in den Versionen R und X schickte Yamaha ab 2009 eine Enduro und eine Supermoto an den Start. Besonders die Sumo fand großen Anklang in der 125er-Gemeinde, wobei bei Fans des Drecks unter den Stollenreifen auch die R als Enduro hoch im Kurs stand. Nachdem die Ära der WR 125 2017 ein Ende fand, hat sich Yamaha ganz aktuell an die glorreiche Zeit mit den zwei 125er wieder erinnert und als Neuheit die WR 125 R als Enduro wieder aufgelegt. Wir haben das neue Einstiegs-Enduromodell in der 15 PS-Klasse genau unter die Lupe genommen und gehen direkt in den Vergleich mit der Vorgängerin. Was ist neu bei der R? Und was sieht aus wie beim letzten Modell, beziehungsweise: Wo fallen die Unterschiede richtig gering aus? Und wo ist die WR kaum wiederzuerkennen, falls es so etwas bei neuen Enduro-Typen überhaupt gibt? Weil Host Moritz zu seiner 125er-Zeit zudem selbst eine WR 125 bewegte, gibt's auch gleich noch ein paar Infos aus erster Hand zur älteren WR 125 dazu – zu den Stärken und den Schwächen im Dauerbetrieb.

Tan parecidas, tan distintas. Porque si te montas en una y otra… ¡no se parecen en nada! Llevan el mismo motor, llevan el mismo chasis y no pueden ser más distintas. ¿Por qué? ¿Qué cambia de una moto a otra? Te lo contamos con todo detalle. Sí, ya os oigo a algunos de vosotros… sí… ¡que sí! que tenéis razón. Y es que algunos me estáis diciendo que para hacer una moto de Supermotard es mejor base una Moto de Cross, con motores generalmente más potentes, algo -poco- más bajas y con un cambio más cerrado. Y es verdad. Pero yo me la hice a partir de una de Enduro por dos motivos… que os cuento en el vídeo. Pero si tienes la idea de usarla eventualmente como “segunda moto” o moto de emergencia, mejor una de Enduro. En el caso contario, mejor de motocross. Vamos a ver que cosas cambie a mi moto para convertirla en un eficiente motor de Supermotard. Motor: Solo escape. Con esto acabamos pronto. Escogí la más potente y le puse un Akrapovic, que como solo la uso en circuito, no tiene ni DB Killer ni nada de eso… ¡suena una barbaridad! Pero me encanta. Y el motor, para mí, corre lo suficiente, pues esta 510 supera holgadamente los 50 CV. Carrocería: Poco, pero importante. Además de una aleta trasera más corta es importante la aleta delantera más corta y perforada, imprescindible si la vas a usar por la calle. Protecciones específicas. Fijaos en las que hay en el escape, en los ejes de la rueda e incluso en las estriberas… y es que vas a tumbar mucho, te lo adelanto. Dirección: El amortiguador, imprescindible. Sobre todo, en circuitos rápidos o con cambios de apoyo y evidentemente en carretera, el amortiguador de dirección, a ser posible, regulable, es imprescindible. Recuerda que la geometría es de off road, con poco lanzamiento y mucha manejabilidad. Suspensiones: Duras y cortas. Hay que poner unas suspensiones claramente más cortas y claramente más duras. Fui un afortunado porque me las regaló KTM de un piloto que cambiaba de moto y la suya la pusieron de Enduro… creo que por aquí está el nombre. Frenos: Echar el resto. Detrás basta con poner líquido y pastillas adecuados… salvo que sea un pilotazo o participes en competición, en cuyo caso puedes necesitar algo más. Pero delante, aunque ni seas piloto ni participes en competición, hay que echar el resto… como he hecho yo en esta moto. El tacto de este freno es espectacular y su eficacia, más aún. Conclusión. Comencé en el Supermotard de casualidad, porque con poco dinero en verano, cuando ni se puede ni se debe hacer Enduro, hacia supermotard e incluso a veces me iba al trabajo en mi moto de Supermotrad… y me lo pasaba pipa… Luego después de un susto, que os cuento en la anécdota del día, me lo tome más en serio. Y más tarde, con el rollo del concesionario, acabé teniendo una moto especifica de Supermotard… que no uso mucho… la intenté vender, pero…

Alright, it's time to catch up on the final round of the Enduro World Cup in Morillon and Enduro World Champs in Aletsch Arena with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. Morillon was a brand new venue which the riders said featured some of the best trails they've ever raced. With the titles already decided, it was all in for those chasing the remaining overall podium places and those looking for their first taste of EDR success. Aletsch delivered a challenging sting in the season's tail to see who would take home those sought after World Champs stripes. So sit back, hit play, and enjoy this episode with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

Damien Oton est ancien pilote professionnel de VTT Enduro, Patron du magasin Mondovélo à Perpignan et pilote de développement pour OrbeaLe parcours de Damien est aux antipodes des parcours classiques qui amènent généralement à la compétition VTT.Après avoir arrêté l'école en Quatrième, il a exercé le métier de Plombier pendant 10 ans et au niveau sportif, il était plutôt bien parti pour suivre les traces de son père qui roulait en Motocross.Mais tout a basculé pour lui lorsqu'il a posé ses mains sur le guidon d'un VTT. Et bien lui en a pris puisque malgré une arrivée tardive à la compétition, il a ensuite obtenu l'un des plus beaux palmarès des pilotes d'enduro Français, face à des pilotes qui parfois sont allés jusqu'à recourir au dopage pour rester devant.Aujourd'hui, Damien partage son temps entre le développement de son magasin de vélo et son rôle de pilote test pour Orbéa et vous allez voir qu'il lui reste encore quelques belles choses à accomplir.Dans cet épisode, attendez-vous à découvrir:- Comment sorti de nulle part, Damien a fait ses débuts en enduro VTT, accompagné par une certaine Anne-Caroline Chausson Sa relation particulière avec les séances d'entrainement que son coach lui concoctait.- Comment il a vécu les affaires de dopages de ses deux principaux concurrents, champions du Monde d'enduro juste devant lui- Comment il vit l'aventure entrepreneuriale avec son magasin de vélo et ses conseils à ses confrères pour faire face aux discounteurs- Comment il contribue au développement de la gamme Enduro chez OrbéaEt pleins d'autres choses.-Les chapitres de la vidéo00:01 Teaser02:16 Présentation En Roue Libre02:41 Présentation Damien Oton03:30 Sommaire04:05 Présentation Agence Line04:40 Un point commun avec Steve Peat06:25 Comment le vélo est arrivé?10:47 Moto Vs vélo13:28 Son premier VTT Enduro14:52 Le début de carrière17:47 Ce qu'il a appris aux côtés d'Anne-Caroline Chausson28:18 Ce qui l'a le plus fait progresser49:47 L'arrivée chez Orbea01:01:25 Ce qui lui plaisait moins dans l'enduro01:03:10 le dopage en Enduro01:11:20 Son magasin de vélo01:15:58 Entre les compétitions et le magasin01:21:31 Comment transformer une vente01:27:15 Le démarrage de la saison 202501:30:56 Le développement chez Orbea01:36:22 ses objectifs pour Loudenvielle01:37:45 prendre du plaisir vs rester compétitif01:42:10 Le revival de l'enduro01:44:19 Que lui souhaiter pour la suite?01:44:38 un prochain invité?01:49:00 Merci au Mercure de Loudenvielle01:49:56 Conclusion-Pour obtenir avis d'expert sur votre communication et comment atteindre vos objectifs plus rapidement, rendez-vous sur Linkedin ou réservez un appel sur agenceline.fr.-En Roue Libre sur le web:Soutenez le travail d'En Roue Libre sur la plateforme Tipeee: tipeee.com/enrouelibreAbonnez-vous à la newsletter En Roue Libre ici: bit.ly/newsletterEnRoueLibreSuivez En Roue Libre sur Instagram : instagram.com/enrouelibrepodcast/Suivez-moi sur Linkedin : linkedin.com/in/taillo/Visitez le site enrouelibre.cc
Stashed founder Elliot Tanner has many talents, like making ultra-light climbing gear and designing components for Marker's Kingpin touring binding. But that's not all: he also built his own high-pivot, gearbox-equipped Enduro bikes, and that was before high-pivots or gearboxes were cool. But it wasn't until his family had amassed more bikes than they had room for that he got the inspiration to create a bike storage solution. We caught up with Elliot to chat about that first design, and how it went from something he built to solve his storage problem to the Spacerail Bike Storage System that is the foundation of Stashed, plus a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredStashedTOPICS & TIMES:Elliot's Engineering BackgroundDesigning Climbing GearMaking Marker KingPin ComponentsElliot's High-Pivot Gearbox BikesDesigning his First Bike Storage SystemFounding StashedManufacturing in WalesWhat's hanging on Elliot's Spacerail Favorite Place to RideCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicGEAR:30Blister PodcastCRAFTED Hosted on Acast.

The Pivot Firebird and Propain Tyee don't look super different on paper — they've got about the same suspension travel, generally similar geometry, and both can convert between 29'' and MX setups — but they ride quite differently from one another.So what sets them apart? We wade into that topic, offer our early take on a couple of new pieces of Italian suspension, argue about what does (and doesn't) make for a good mixed wheel bike setup, discuss Bosch's output-boosing software upgrade for their Gen 5 CX motor, and a whole bunch more.RELATED LINKS:Get Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Pivot Firebird (2:29)Propain Tyee (21:12)Salsa Blackthorn (25:24)EXT Vecta (33:23)Formula Selva V (40:04)Bosch CX Software Upgrade (51:11)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDGEAR:30Blister Podcast Hosted on Acast.

What does it take to race almost every Enduro World Series round since 2013, survive a life threatening brain aneurysm and then keep racing? In this episode of The Ride Companion we sat down with Iago Garay to hear about his journey from early Mega Avalanche races to the modern EDR World Cup. We cover everything from how Enduro racing has evolved, the training demands, nutrition, memorising tracks and Iago's near death brain aneurysm in 2023 that changed everything. We also dive into what he would do if he ran the sport, why coverage is still an issue, how enduro is still the most relatable form of MTB and how his recovery reshaped his entire perspective on life.

This week we're catching up after a massive double-header in the Enduro World Cup. Val di Fassa and La Thuile delivered everything we love about the sport: big mountains, tight racing, and a few surprises along the way. Joining me to break it all down are two riders who know exactly what it takes to perform at the top, Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan. We get into what those Italian rounds were really like from the inside, from pushing through injuries and dialing in recovery strategies, to the chaos and buzz of night stages, and the emergence of some exciting new talent in both the men's and women's fields. We also took a moment to step back and reflect on the state of Enduro as a whole — where the sport is right now, what's working, and why this season has felt like a positive shift, both on and off the bike. This one's got insight, honesty, and a bit of that good race-weekend energy, so sit back, hit play, and enjoy this conversation with Morgane Charre and Greg Callaghan.

In past years, we've done a series called ‘Bikes vs Skis' where we've posed the question: Which bike company is most like which ski company? But this year, we're zooming out a bit, and instead are putting up the whole ski industry vs the bike industry, to identify the significant similarities or differences; assess the relative health of each; and see how the trends in one might align with trends in the other. Today, you'll hear from Blister reviewers Jonathan Ellsworth, Luke Koppa, David Golay, Simon Stewart, Kara Williard, and Xan Marshland.RELATED LINKS:BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredOur ‘Bikes vs Skis' Series:Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 4th Edition (2023): Part 3Bikes vs Skis, 3rd Edition (2021): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 3rd Edition (2021): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 2nd Edition (2020): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 2nd Edition (2020): Part 2Bikes vs Skis, 1st Edition (2018): Part 1Bikes vs Skis, 1st Edition (2018): Part 2TOPICS & TIMES:Health of the Bike Industry (4:52)Volatility in the Ski Industry (12:11)Supply Chain Complexity (16:35)Which Categories are Growing or Shrinking?

Enduro is back and it feels like it might be turning a corner. After a couple of tough seasons, there's a real sense of momentum building in the sport, and we're here for it. In this episode, I'm joined by Greg Callaghan and Morgane Charre, two riders who've been at the sharp end of Enduro racing for years, to dig into the first two rounds of the 2025 EDR season. We're talking big changes: the return of two-day racing, a fresh energy in the pits, and a crop of new talent shaking things up. Greg and Morgane share their experiences from Pietra and Poland so we get the low down on what went on. We get into everything from course design and recovery strategies to weather chaos, injuries, and the impact of a brand new documentary series that's got people talking. There's still a way to go, but if the start of the season is anything to go by, Enduro's future is looking a whole lot brighter.

Episode #286: A New DH Bike, The Future of Enduro, & Reader Questions
Anneke Beerten was one of the top mountain bikers in the world for a decade, starting her career as a two-time BMX world champion before dominating the 4 cross circuit with three world titles. She's gone through many career transitions over the years, embracing Enduro and Crankworx to earn even more accolades. In early 2020, just after finishing her best season in enduro racing, she was in a car accident that forced her to retire from racing. She spent years in rehab, moved states, and started over in Bentonville. Now, she's one of the most sought-after skills coaches in the business. Anneke sat down with Payson this week to talk about the many disciplines she's excelled at over the years, the car crash that ended her racing career just as she was at the top of her game, and how she transitioned into coaching some of the top mountain bikers in the world. She also gives a few tips on how everyone can work on their technical skills no matter where they live and discusses another new chapter in her career.You can find out more about Anneke's skills coaching here: https://www.crankitupmtb.comInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen
