What are Enduros?

An enduro motorcycle is specialised for nature of the sport, with the deep suspension of a motocross bike combined with the features required to make it legal for the public road portions of the course. Engines are generally single-cylinder two-stroke between 125 and 300 cm (cc), or four-stroke between 250 and 650 cm (cc).

The World Enduro Championship and several other championships currently categorise enduro motorcycles into three classes;

• Enduro 1 (100 to 125 cc 2-stroke or 175 - 250 cc 4-stroke), 
• Enduro 2 (175 to 250 cc 2-stroke or 290 - 450 cc 4-stroke) and 
• Enduro 3 (290 to 500 cc 2-stroke or 475 - 650 cc 4-stroke). 

Although the term enduro often applies to any type of long-distance, off-road motorcycle races, its true technical definition usually refers to a set of rules, varying by the events' governing body, that specify exactly when a rider should arrive at certain pre-defined locations along a prescribed route. The object of the event is to arrive at those locations exactly per the defined schedule, with early or late arrivals resulting in penalties to the riders' scores. This sort of event is not technically a Race, but rather it is a Time Keeping event.
