As above folks, thinking of having a bash at a couple of them...just wondering what set-ups people are using for them??
me possibly.
160mm forked 456.
nice. ive got a Dialled PA, with 140mm and im wondering if it'll be enough...
Going to be doing more of the 661 Gravity series again this year, unless the new bike fairy appears I will be riding my trusty Commencal miniDH with 36's again
Hope to be at round 2. Can't afford the money or time to do the whole series. I'll be riding a Prophet with 150mm Revelations, same bike I used for Enduro racing last year.
i'm hoping to do a couple and i'll be riding this:

Planning to do Inners and Eastridge on the gravity enduro series on my Mondraker Dune.
Hoping to do 2 or maybe 3 rounds, didn't do it last year but looks like my kinda thing. Will be on a BFe with 160mm lyriks (though I may shim them down to 150 or 140 at some point).
I've booked in for the FOD stage of the southern series. http://www.enduro1.co.uk/
Not sure what I'll be riding as I need to buy a bike. It'll be something with 150 or 160mm travel.
Will be doing all 3 Fusion X Enduro 1 series http://www.enduro1.co.uk/
On my canndale prophet with 160mm lyriks.
Will wait to see where the 661 enduro are, if there is one at afan i will do that but if the rest are up north or scotland 😕 im not doing any of them 😥
dafoxsetr - what did you pay for the FoD enduro? I couldn't see price on website.
Look in the "shop"
It's £35 per race for an individual. I'm thinking I'll do these races. Probably on my 5 spot w/36s.

chakaping: Go to the Enduro Shop all the prices are there. £35 for one event.
Yep, hopefully. Nomad c 170 lyric solo air. St's or SX's, Noir CS. XTR everything else.

cheers, that wasn't working before - honest
😉
Well this weekend i'll be on an Anthem with 125mm Rebas. Be interesting to see how many races it'll survive
Here is the vid from last years enduro 1
What are the enduro1 races like? Look good on paper, does anyone have first hand experience? Cheers

It was a test event last year, i think they learned alot, it was really good fun, Lost of single track downs, some skill stages and lots of ups to 😉
Hopefully, though I dunno which ones yet. If I do I'll be on either an Mmmbop with Pikes or a Hemlock with Lyriks, depending which is working at the time...

I quite fancy giving it a go, but with place names like 'moor and 'plain is it not closer to a really short XC time trial?

Yer it is but with skills stages, Bombholes, Tec Downs and stuff.
Yep, I'm planning on doing some, pending locations. Will ride my Nomad.
Will be riding the same Zesty i use for xc endurance and the Mega... only one bike but I switch forks out... Team Revs for xc and Bos Deville for gnarlly and will be getting some off set shock mounts for more options...
I see these events as a good way of testing myself and gauging my progress... for some reason I never ride well when racing but have good pace when out riding for fun.
Yep I'm hoping to do some this year - just need a bit more fitness in the bag first! - and will be riding this beastie:-

SC blur 4x with 36 vans, 1x10 and a reverb.
Planning to do at least one on my Cotic Soul (pictured before it went 1x9)

Does anyone know the locations for the Gravity Enduro series this year?
nice that 4x like! 🙂
Check Roots and Rain, the calendar's on there
The Gravity Enduro website hadn't been updated last time I looked. Dates and venues are on their Facebook page.
Tempted to do the Northern parts of the 661 Series. Inners, AE and Kielder? Would be riding a 160mm/160mm Norco Fluid LT2.
Northern rounds are Inners and Hamsterley.
I think i will the afan one its only 190mile from my house, won't do the outher there all 200mile+ away. Would be good to have a stage 2 hours of london.
Just seen the Gravity Enduro dates, tempted by the Dyfi and CyB ones too.
But by the time I add all the fees up I could almost have afforded to go to the Alps instead.
🙂
Northern rounds are Inners and Hamsterley.
Cheers, couldnt see the 2012 dates confirmed on the website.
I will be having a crack at some enduros this year. I'll be riding this:

160mm front 130mm rear. Chumba xcl
I'm going to have a go at a few, good news for other competitors as that's at least one person you can beat ! Hopefully there is a special category for slow old gits.
Giant Reign and a slack hardtail if I buy one, I'll try both.
Doing whole series on Meta AM1
If I finish I'll be happy. If I finish not last I'll be even happier!
The Fusion X Enduro 1 series look/sound more xc trail and h/tail friendly, so will probably use the 456 summer season with 130 fork,dropper post, 2x10 etc.
Where as the 661 series, looks abit more gravity assisted, so will use the T120s with dropper post, 1x10 etc,,,,,,,
Scott Scale will go on ebay..............
Hoping to do Inners, CYB, and the final round (Dyfi would be ace) if funds and work/uni allow. I have seen there is talk of 8 minute stages for the CYB round. Should be ace.
07' 120mm S'works stumpy with 140mm revs for me. Inverse mullet bikes ftw!
Maxi-Avalanche in Åre. Planning on doing it on a slightly beefed up Santa Cruz Nomad with 180mm Domains
I'll do as many of the Gravity Enduros as i can get to, shifts may prevent play at some of them though.
The X-Fusion ones look a bit too 'pedally' for my liking....i'll be riding an Ariel:

Planning on doing FoD seeing as it's on my doorstep. Need to make sure 'er indoors isn't working that weekend though.
I'll be using my Stumpy EVO. Loving that bike - 3rd ride on it tonight.
ill be using my kona dawg with gravity dropper at maybe the fod one and a couple of others- missus/baby permitting
just gotta save up some pennies for some 44 rc3 ti s!
Got me a UK Gravity Enduro entry today and shall be rolling out a 29er 😉
I'll[i] probably[/i] do Innerleithen, on me Hemlock... Pretty ideal for it really.
For enduroists, remember there's another Innerleithen MTB Racing enduro event coming up on Saturday the 18th of Feb. Only £30, day-and-night, 2 stages run twice. Always good, these, just as much racing packed into a one day event.
Simon - MemberThe Gravity Enduro website hadn't been updated last time I looked
They barely update it tbh, it's pretty hopeless- their Facebook page is better.
Hopefully entering some of the Gravity Enduro's on my T29 unless the Kngdom Savant appears and is as good to ride as it looks online
Apologies for website and the fact its not got much info on there, just got some gremlins removed, updating it as we speak.
If there are any tech wizards out there with industry knowledge, please get in touch on steveparr66@yahoo.co.uk need someone urgently to make the site look good, i physically have'nt got the time 🙁
I'll be at the FoD round of the Enuro1 on my Ragley Piglet, my gf will be racing her Five. if we enjoy it we'll be at the other 2 rounds as well!
Is there a list of all the enduro events that are on? How do you find out whats on where?
I'll hopefully be doing all five rounds on my Lapierre Spicy 316

Booked on for Inners and Eastridge Gravity Enduro rounds.
Might go for CyB too as I'm up there anyway that week.
🙂
did ae a few years ago, was a good race but going to concentrate on DH and try and make whatever enduro's i can. will be on a 6 year old heckler. also the dyfi enduro is great although not the format the new enduro's use
Will be doing Afan and FoD on my BFe along with a couple of 4x events hopefully 🙂
I did one round at both events last year, I will being doing as many as possible this year on my new whyte 146s
I'll be doing some or all on a chameleon new build with 36 vans.

Thats not 36 transit vans though - just to make that clear!
I've entered all the Enduro1 events - will be riding the Meta 5 with 140mm Pikes (old skool...)

I'm pretty light footed though, so don't warrant bigger bouncers!
Will prob send both shocks off to TFTuned beforehand though - likely for service and PUSH upgrade for the forks too.
DrP
i'm doing fod enduro and all the uk gravity enduros except round one.
i will be using a 140mm marin rocky ridge with 140mm revelations and a reverb post. i some stages are 8 mins long they can't be steep descent all the way so i think 140mm or 150mm is best.
i also think it would be fun on my ns surge with 140mm forks but would not quite be as fast on the rougher tracks.
I've jsut entered all 5. See you there!
Just realised that the Glentress Enduro clashes with Hamsterley - not ideal 😕
