Remy Absalon started racing at a young age but could never make his mind up between XC or DH, so he was delighted when enduro first burst onto the scene in France. He became an enduro specialist in 2004 and quickly claimed victory in the Megavalanche, Superenduro, Crankworx and the French Enduro Series. Remy now races for the Scott SR Suntour Enduro team and we caught up with him in Finale to check out his 12.9kg Scott Genius LT700 Tuned.
