The Giant 2W Gravity Enduro is all about inclusivity. It is designed for anyone who loves getting on their bike and hitting the trails. Skills, fitness and tactics play an equal role in the execution of each timed downhill race stage throughout the course of the event to decide who will be crowned champion.
Encouraging riders to develop fitness and skills throughout the season, each of the three events gets progressively harder so by the end of the season riders are in top form.
