Downhill bikes are better for downhill, Enduro bikes are better for enduro. Boom. I blew everyone's mind. Problem solved. Your welcome. So as to which one you should buy, the answer is simple: both
100%
Which would cost around 10000$- 18000$ but that's all
Definately buy an enduro bike first. If you're maxxing out its downhill potential get a cheaper used DH and ride it hard. You won't feel so bad hucking it on an alloy DH compared to a nice enduro.
THANK YOU
Gaming Series08 that's why it's called an investment my friend. If you really care about mtb you'd make some sacrafices to save up for a bike
Edit: well some people care more than others but I mean if you take it seriously
This is like asking which is better between a knife and a spoon. Are you stabbing someone or eating some ice cream? It depends on the task at hand.
iainthavinthat 😂😂
"Cousin why a spoon, why not a knife?"
"Cause it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!"
These kinda comparisons are popular for some reason.
Roger Neilson Prince of Thieves
"I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!"
"Why a spoon? Why not an axe, or a.."
"It's dull.. It'll hurt more!"
At 3:00 i think you messed up the times. Because 1,40 is faster than 1,45.
Might have been that the split time was faster but not faster in the total time
No, thats the overall time. The Downhiller had 1:40 overall but was slower in this split. The enduro was 1:45 overall time and 5 seconds slower than the downhiller because the downhiller was faster the 2 splits before, but still was slower in split 3.
I think they just tagged em wrong. Im confused. 😖
Alex939 not if you're counting down...
The time is total but color is indicator for the section time...
This test also depends on the rider obviously
Ya
What's with the 3rd split? DH 1:40:44 (Red) End 1:45:45 (Green).
I think a simple plus or minus would have been clearer to show which section he was faster in.
The enduro bike time must of been 1:35:45 and was a typo
Its All DH from here it's from the last split to that one no the hole run
or they got the two times the wrong way around
Its All DH from here moo
What made the difference ?
- Blake can manual
Hahahahaha :)
Pienimusta rip
PEDALING!!!!!
Savage!
Mä tykkään omenoista
Think its way more interesting that he went with a full face on the dh bike and half lid with the enduro. Riding the same track but at higher speeds with a way less protecting helmet just becuase one has slightly more travel. Logical reasoning at its finest ;)
I for one as come to the conclusion that if my jaw hit a rock at 20 kph it is going to break the same regardless if I'm aboard 20mm more travel, so I therefore go with the full face. Only exception if its really really warm (really dont get warm this far north to be fair) or I know that I going for a really easy ride.
Johan Norberg yeah I've noticed this a lot, it's a shame because the trail you're riding should dictate what protection you wear, not the bike and the subsequent fashion. If you're riding downhill trails you should wear a full face, even if you're on a hardtail.. In fact it's probably more important on a hard tail because you have a higher chance of crashing!

rear suspension of a DH bike can kick your butt into the air that is the reason you go fullface
If its properly set up and you're at least somewhat familiar with it then definitely no, thats not what a suspension is supposed to do.
Micheal Jackson that doesn't make sense. I hope that was your attempt at trolling?
Very thanks for polish captions❤
Cool video, I learned a lot about the difference between Enduro and Downhill in this one...
Nice one, very entertaining as always!
Really liked the layout of the content. Making a bet on the pool added a bit of entertainment for me! lol blake is quickly becoming the funny guy with all the noises he makes in every video. at first it was bothering me but now its growing on me. great stuff guys
Love the senary and the hole video so cool guys keep going !!
Ace video lads keep em coming!!
If you are faster down a downhill track on an enduro bike, then you are not riding a real downhill track. No shit the enduro bike is going to be quicker when there is a large pedal section at the bottom of the track. Do the same test down MSA and look at the results.
Keillen Ross true dat
Fair point, maybe we'l have to go to both extremes! What about Champery?! or Fort William?! #retest
Scotty Laughland would be cool to see a test run on a WC track. Or even at Whistler down some Garbanzo tech trails... Maybe full lap of In Deep?
This is science at its finest. Exactly why UCI has banned Enduro bikes from competing in UCI DH events. ;)
Clearly 40mm less travel and an open face helmet is keeping Gwin from rainbow jersey.
What about mick hannah's sprint at the world champs this year?
Perfect! More of those please :)
This is a tough one! I would imagine this really would come down to the rider unless you were doing massive hits that required the extra travel of a DH bike. Regardless, another great video!
good job on providing splits.. like it.
I am a beginner mountain biker and I'm learning a lot of skills from you
Gmbn is my favorite channel
Yeeees waited soo long fot this ;-)
yess I've been waiting for this video for a while haha
Cool love these vids of you guy riding
I think the more important question is that which bike and style of riding is more fun. At least that's what riding is about for me. Still a nice video, you both seem like fun guys and you are good at what you do.
Blake, you make my day better
Spoiler alert: the DH bike is faster on the downhills, and the Enduro is faster on the flats and climbs. Overall, it turns out your test track has more flats and climbs than descents.
This Scott DH bike has a hell of a lot of suspension pivots.... Why so complicated?
Anthony HT yea, also a dh bike resist really really big jumps, for that it have a double bridge on the fork
because it looks cool XD
+Scareface Visuals you mean a double crown fork? I would love to ride a DH bike but It would be too much trouble to get it to the mountains near me
It's a single pivot and leverage rate.
loving the new bloke. Blake brings some big laughs and has fitted right in to the crew.
hahahaha Blakes Pink crocs are priceless!
That splash was perfect 😂👏👏👌
Great vid
Hahaha so funny :) love it. I just got a Giant Trance 3 for my birthday so I'm backing enduro lol
3:42 that fall was glorius
Please also do one with a full sus XC bike (modern) vs down hill bike!
Loving the pink crocs!
Why not test on downhill track, without climb and flat... like UCI track, totaly rough and gravity...
Hi, gentlemen! I have been learning so much about today's mtb world through your videos. Thank you. Question: where do "trail" bikes come in? Is it: trail, then enduro, then downhill orrrr enduro, then trail, and then downhill? (And I am looking for the toughest bike for extreme city riding, jumping off stuff n horrible roads in India). I'm leaning toward enduro. But what's trail, man? Thank you.
Pink crocs? Nice fashion Blake!
I've been looking for a minimalist one like that
Not sure whats worse, jumping into a freezing pool or being seen in bright bright pink crocs.
Crocs! no question
I personally think it is hard to compare as DH and Enduro do slightly different courses. It would be interesting how a bike like mine - Scott Genius LT would fare with slightly more travel at 170mm. The DH Bike would still kill it on a full on downhill course but something that is more combination it would be close. You do also see some flatter smoother DH Course like Sea Otter which call for a different bike configuration.
Finaly got an add worth watching.
How Enduro bike was able to make up 12 secs in last 30secs Was the last section pure uphill?
curious how the upper split times would compare with a 160mm 29er , and Enduro FTW!!
You can’t go wrong with an enduro bike. It can do downhill but also pedal.
Best moment… Tipping Blake in the cold pool and watching him run out yelling like a girl!
❤️Blake!’s my favorite GMBN presenter.
Blakes run is like when you see a Middle Aged Man in Full Lycra at the trails, and you're just like,I'm outa here!😂😂
Nice trip!
When will do you do drunk balcony test with both bikes in Marbella, Málaga?
You can do nearly everything with an enduro bike, that you can do with an DH bike, you just have to be more concentrated and ride more active and choose lines accordingly. Best of both worlds would be a 170/180mm Freerider such as Enduro Evo, Scott Voltage, Knolly Delirium, Kona Process 167 etc. which are slacker, have a bit more travel and a bit burlier frames.
So DH bikes have heavier burlier frames than enduro bikes? Do trail bikes have heavier frames than enduro bikes?
For some reason this just popped up on my feed. So here we are in 2021 and my enduro bike has 180/170mm travel, a coil in the back and 64.7 HTA.... and it's my park bike too. :D
I like this style of video's
Blake it's my favourite already!
I found a 900 gambler but I have to pedal up most trails I go on. Should I get it and try to make it enduroable?
Hod did you count? 3rd Split DH-01:40:44, ENDURO-01:45:45, and how you got 2 minutes in final results
Blake has shown his true colours. what a champion. i'm so glad he joined the gmbn show.
Can you make it trough redbull hardline on an enduro bike? and would it be close to the average time?
You guys got the times backwards. According to the splits the DH bike was faster with every sector.
And also why you would chose the one above the other - Ecotron vs prototype bike
What bike stand were they using in the intro, I want to buy one now
I have a trek M5 hardtail and I literally treat that thing like a road bike, but i got it so I have something that can take a beating and is fast and fun
Scotty will win the internet one day. Most of his comparsion videos are like "I will make it look like I am the best of the best, even if the whole thing does not make any sense".
Please do an enduring vs trail bike I can only afford one and I need some help deciding !!
Personally I’d buy an enduro bike first because it is heaps versatile but since I basically only ride XC and race DH I bought a Downhill before enduro.
they should do a video on how to reduce chain slap.
The thumbnail was messed up. It shows downhill near the enduro bike and enduro near the downhill bike
Gmbn what's your personal opinion on the canyon that we see featured in so many of your videos
We love the Strive! Awesome bike :)
Those tracks were rided by same person or it was 2 different people?
Because i think that i woudl be better to get DH to ride on DH bike since both disciplines need different type of training to ride fast.
Málaga, Spain 😍
You really need a hardcore downhill track to use the DH bikes advantages. Enduro bikes are very capable.
if u need for riding on road and off road enduro is better?
Awesome vid but you should have switched who was riding which bike and compare those results as well
Scotty was riding both!
wich bikes did you use
maybe you could could write it down the info box in the future thanks :)
Please assist - which E-bike would be the best bearing the trademark Ecotron vs Prototype
I like DH because it seems to absorb better and it is Cheever to replace parts
Where are you riding in Malaga? I have a place down there but i don´t know of any good locations to ride.
Would be great if you linked it on Maps!
It's called Happy Days in Alhaurin!
Sick editing cut at 2:54
the trail is from the video seat high vs seat low isn't it
The scott gambler is perfect for climbing too
something wrong with the times at 3:05 xD downhill 1.40.44 but is slower than 1.45.45 xD
Tails tm It's a split, so it had lost time to the enduro bike, but was still ahead slightly.
1:40 and 1:45 are the total time, but in that split the enduro was faster
Geeorge Simonson
Split 1: DH 2 seconds ahead
Split 2: DH still half a second ahead
Split 3: DH now 5 seconds ahead
End: Enduro 7 seconds ahead
So your interpretation makes no sense, the DH only lost in the second and the fourth part of the track.
I was talking a bout the fact that even tho the dh was ahead by 5 sec the time was red
anonimo2214
In that split the enduro was slower! look at the times
No, it won't be answered. If you take both to a "baby" track like this, sure the enduro can keep up. Take it to a real DH course, and the poor enduro bike is going to simply be slow, or you're going to lose control trying to keep up. Similarly, take a DH bike to an enduro or XC-based track, you're going to be dying trying to get it around the course.
Take it to Redbull Rampage, let me know how the enduro bike does.
Nice trails! Where is this?
@askgmbn how do I make my specialized enduro 29 more dh and bike park ready? I just started racing downhill
at 3:05 the enduro bike is in green, implying that it was faster(time:1:45ish). so why was the downhill bikes time 1:40ish, but in red?
Where are these traks guys? Alhaurín maybe?
what kind the best use in donwhill racing ...
and flat road and...??
Remember to use a full face helmet always when riding on a DH bike! Even if you ride the same track with enduro bike with a normal trail helmet. Basic rule of bicycling.
brilliant! I feel like like Blake should just expect to lose from now on lol
Great video as always. I don't care about the result. I had the choice last summer between an Enduro steed and a DH sled and I made the right choice with the big bike. I have more fun on it and I don't really care about the push when the downhill is just gnarly. Maybe I'll go for a big enduro rig next but for me, DH always wins no matter what.
DH wins everytime, but it didn't win 😂
Nice crocs blake :D
which bike was more fun to ride on that run?
What is really funny is that Scott has a Downhill Bike From SCOTT
hey i need to know what is customizable on a specialzied rock hopper 29er 2016 if you can help me
great Vid ? How tall are you? Thanks.
Yeah what bike shall I use the 5 grand dh bike or the 5 grand enduro bike
Guys whats the right bike for me
I like offroading (not downhill or uphill)
I also liked to do long rides on both offroad and flat pavements
WHat do u guys think?
It depends on how much pedaling sections there are
i miss this scott and blake duo, all of the gmbn presenters get along with each other soooo well T_T
Get Fabian Barrel on both bikes for a better comparison - same skill and experience on both DH and enduro circuits.
That's definitely a Pro Rider problem. Which bike do I ride today? The clocks might have been wrong? likely story. Great comparison though if you're thinking about having only one bike. For that trail it seems that the Enduro bike was the best all rounder.
Love the pink crocs
sound track was pretty dope
Nice video! What's the name of the song?
