One of the biggest questions in enduro:
👉 Should you sit or stand?
The answer is simple:
👉 Stand most of the time. Sit when it makes sense.
Why Standing Is Key
Standing gives you:
Better balance
More control
Freedom to move
It allows the bike to move under you.
When to Stand
👉 Technical terrain
👉 Rocks, roots, mud
👉 Uphill sections
👉 Downhill control
When to Sit
👉 Flat corners
👉 Long transport sections
👉 When resting (briefly)
The Biggest Mistake
❌ Sitting when things get difficult
That’s exactly when you should stand.
Drill
👉 Ride a full section standing only
👉 Focus on relaxing your legs
👉 Let the bike move
