A wide range of multi-disciplined athletes featuring current US National Downhill champion Amy Morrison, 2022 Lifetime GP series champion Haley Smith and evergreen icons Katerina Nash and Geoff Kabush 

 Oakland, California (February 21st, 2023) — Following a standout 2022 campaign, Enduro Bearings’ 2023 ambassador program includes a host of returning teams and individuals, plus new faces from the US and UK. While today’s announcement is rider-centric, rest assured Enduro Bearings will also continue to support mechanics. Look for additional information on our favorite wrench-twisters in an upcoming announcement. 

Athletes will be competing across a variety of cycling disciplines, running a mix of Enduro’s industry-leading, lifetime warranty offerings: XD15 bearings and components, patent-pending Maxhit™ bottom brackets and headsets, MAX pivot bearings and Directline derailleur pulleys.

This year’s list includes over thirty athletes (soloists and team members) competing globally in road, MTB endurance and gravity, gravel and cyclocross. And in both the mechanics’ and athletes’ programs, Enduro has made a concerted effort to share its support equally among men and women. 

Kurt Stockton, Enduro’s Ambassador Program Manager, is excited about the program’s early success. “2022 was a great year for our athlete partnerships, and we anticipate more of the same in ‘23,” states Kurt, “Installing Enduro bearings and components once, knowing they will spin efficiently all year and beyond, allows our ambassadors to focus on winning races and having fun riding bikes.”

Among the most accomplished riders in the mix are cyclocross and MTB legends Katerina Nash and Geoff Kabush. Both will pursue a diverse 2023 calendar, vying for wins and podiums in MTB XC, enduro, gravel, and cyclocross events. Nash and Kabush know a thing or two about how nasty riding conditions can affect a bike’s performance and how the right bearings can alleviate those issues.  

“I’ve enjoyed running Enduro because they work and my bikes run better and last longer, which means less worry for me, the rider/mechanic!” Nash says. “I love that they have a lifetime guarantee; that’s really standing behind your product.”

Kabush adds, “Enduro bearings are the unsung heroes of all my bikes. They definitely get used and abused, and they just keep running smoothly regardless of what I put them through.” 

Elite teams representing Enduro Bearings include: the MAXXIS Factory Team with 2022 Lifetime GP winner Haley Smith; the team will race in MTB XC, gravel and enduro events; and the CCB - Alpine Carbon p/b Levine Law Group Cycling Team set to line-up at domestic road and criterium races, and venturing into the dirt at MTB and gravel events. And the strong men and women’s ButcherBox Cycling team who will have their eye set on criteriums and road races.

"Maxxis Factory Racing enjoyed a lot of success in 2022, winning the BME overall with Cole Peterson and the inaugural Lifetime Grand Prix with Haley Smith. But running a first-year program is full of bumps and challenges along the way. Something we never had to worry about was dealing with noisy bottom brackets, seized headsets, or crunchy hub or suspension bearings. Enduro products never let us down.”
