Team Riders Oli and Dom prepare for the first round of the Fetish Bikes UK Gravity Enduro Series at Innerleithen, Scotland.
After a healthy 26th overall at the Frostbite 40 enduro at Brechfa, a race that Oli missed due to illness, this year Dom and Oli decided to take on the full UK Gravity Enduro calendar.
With the likes of UK Champion Rob Cooksley, World Cup Champion Tracey Mosely and multi Megavalanche winner Jerome Clementz taking part at a great line up of venues in some seriously far flung parts of the UK this represents a real challenge and a big commitment to the westcountry riders!
Round one on the 24/25 March is now just round the corner and Dom and Oli have been stepping their preparation up a gear in anticipation.
Dom: It's a long way to Scotland from Cornwall so we're planning to break up the journey by leaving early and taking in some of the countries best trails along the way! Hopefully we won't be too busy enjoying ourselves to make the most of saturday practice and make our final tyre choices depending on the weather.
Bike wise Doms Devinci Hectik has remained reasonably unchanged from the Brechfa Enduro, sticking with a 160mm suspension set up, 32t single ring and dropper seatpost, the only changes being a freshly mojo'd Fox 36 Talas fork and stiffer E thirteen DH cranks.
Oli's Proflex on the other hand has been seriously beefed up with the addition of some 170mm Rockshox Lyric air forks and a new Rockshox Vivid air shock as well as a new dropper seatpost.
Both bikes will be sporting Sensus Salmon Hook grips.
Find out how the boys do as soon as we get the news!
