Suprisingly, those skills IMMEDIATELY transferred to my enduro bike. Suddenly I was riding very technical terrain smoother, smarter, and much more relaxed on the enduro bike.
Of course you are standing all the time on the trials bike, so now standing all the time on the enduro bike is no big deal. So not just great cross training, but great for conditioning. Your throttle and clutch control also become very precise. You just thought your timing was good before.

If anyone is trying to decide whether to buy another enduro bike, my recomm is keep your gasser and buy a trials bike.

Exactly what i wanted to hear. Thanks !
