Enduro in its most basic definition is a type of mountain bike racing where the downhillls are timed, and the uphills are not. Riders are timed in stages that are primaryily downhill, with neutral "transfer" stages in between. The transfer stages usually must be completed within a time-limit, but are not part of the accumulated time.
