Description
Kyle Warner rode to a North American Enduro Tour victory this weekend aboard his Marin Attack Trail which features Shimano drivetrain and brakes, SR Suntour fork, Cane Creek rear shock, ENVE wheels and Deity cockpit. Take a gander at the winning machine and enjoy the race report from Kyle below. The future looks bright for the ripper from Chico, CA!


I just wrapped up what has turned out to be one crazy ass season! This past weekend I was in Mt Hood at the North American Enduro Tour final. I came into this race with a slight points lead for the year and knew it was going to be a tight battle for the win. This venue has been my favorite for the past few years and I knew that if I rode smooth and smart I had a good chance for the win.



Saturday was really fun we raced 3 stages at sandy ridge and I was able to put myself in third after day one. The man I had to beat was one of my main rivals for the year as well as a good friend Nate Hills. He was roughly 30 seconds back after the first day so I knew going into day two I just had to relax and make it through safe and sound.



Sunday was one of the most stressful days of my life and I was very nervous for the race. I had a conservative first run and gave up 10 seconds to Nate. The final run of the day was the Pro DH track at Ski Bowl and I knew I just had to make it down alive and I would be number one. As I dropped in I thought I was gonna puke and went on auto pilot. Before I knew it I was sprinting into the finish with a huge smile on my face as I knew I had made it!



After a few beers and some interviews we had the podiums for the NAET finals and I was on top!. I can't believe that all the hard work paid off and I came out with the overall title. Thank you so much for all of the support this year. I seriously had no shot at this without the amazing team of people behind my back. You guys rock and all have a national title under your name!


How many Enduro Champs can 180 barspin, 360 down stairs and rip a hardtail with style like this? Enjoy a throwback to Kyle's JRA from 2013
