Outstanding Highlight of this issue is our Enduro World Series Bikes Benchmark Test. We loaded the van with the world-finest enduro bikes of 2014 and drove down to Finale Ligure Italy to find out once and for all, which is the fastest Enduro Race Bike! That’s right, we did some hard core testing and got lot’s of exciting results for you!

But it’s not all about racing. Sometimes it’s all about relaxing, sitting in the sun after a good ride, drinking a cold one, and telling stories while your buddy strums along on the guitar to the setting sun in America’s Wild West. Or, it’s about the excitement of riding in the shadows of flowing molten lava, on the lunar landscape of an active volcano.

The Wild West of America can be a very relaxing place.

Whatever the reason is to get you outside, it’s a worthwhile one. We can give you the tips to make your bike faster, we can offer training advice, and we can show you the bling. But it’s the adventures and camaraderie that always brings us back to why we ride.

So get out and race, but more importantly, get out and ride! (But don’t forget to enjoy this issue!)
