The Do-it-yourself mentality is a part of Enduro racing and holds true with our grassroots team of misfits who find themselves in an often overlooked, yet vibrant bike scene. Hailing from Eastern Ontario and ready to rock the Knation with their new video edit showcasing their diverse local terrain. This 6 person team will be supported by Prosbin bike shop in Chelsea, QC this season.
