Endura was born in 1993, with a focus on low-key, timeless performance instead<br />

of slavishly following whatever was flavour of the month. Looking back through<br />

the archives, we’re happy we’re on the right side on that one…<br />

Along with other iconic British brands, Endura has stuck firmly with its original<br />

ethos, and for us that means performance and reliability. Our original items may<br />

have lacked style on occasion, but nothing ever went out the door that didn’t do<br />

its job, and do it well.<br />

Based in Scotland, we’re never too far from a hill or two and never have to wait<br />

too long for testing conditions. Scotland is nature’s climatic testing chamber, so it<br />

never takes us too long to figure out what works and what doesn’t. As is said in<br />

Scotland, “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing”.<br />

Everyone that works at Endura in product, sales and marketing rides, so we<br />

are never short of testers, ideas or opinions. Some of the team are elite riders,<br />

some hold records and, of course, we have the whole Team NetApp-Endura<br />

Pro Continental road team to deliver intensive feedback from a pro racer’s<br />

perspective. Our family of off road riders includes ex World Champions, Gold<br />

Medalists and a host of national champions across a range of disciplines.<br />

Born in Scotland - ridden Worldwide.<br />

Bart Brentjens Team Superior, Tracy Moseley, Oli Beckinsale, Chris Smith and the<br />

Endura NZ Racing Team all count on Endura for their performance <strong>cycle</strong> <strong>apparel</strong>,<br />

whatever the conditions and wherever they find themselves riding.<br />

However, just as important, some of us are, well…pretty crappy riders that<br />

have never won anything in their lives. It doesn’t matter. We all feel the urge to<br />

escape out on our bikes in all kinds of weather and on all kinds of terrain, testing<br />

ourselves and our kit to our own limits. We share with them the same spirit of<br />

participation and the sense of perseverance beyond any logic that is the essence<br />

of what makes cycling such a unique sporting democracy. We just do it slightly<br />

slower and with a bit less style.<br />

When you ride in any piece of Endura kit you will feel the benefit of all that<br />

testing and input from the elite professionals, but perhaps more importantly<br />

by the real people treating the kit like real people do. With this simple, no-fuss<br />

outlook on delivering kit that real world riders can rely on, Endura has grown<br />

from a local hero in Scotland to being sought out by riders around the World.<br />

We are real cycling.
