Oakland, California (April 3, 2025) — Enduro Bearings is thrilled to announce an impressive 2025 ambassador roster, featuring the Orbea Fox Factory Team and Neuhaus Metal Works BMX as exciting new additions to Enduro’s diverse community of athletes, teams, and pro mechanics—including national champions and former Olympians.

This year’s lineup includes ten individuals and four teams across a variety of cycling disciplines, highlighting Enduro’s innovative products backed by a lifetime warranty: XD15 hub and bottom bracket bearings, 440C stainless steel headset bearings, patented Maxhit bottom brackets and headsets and Directline derailleur pulleys. Four mechanics working tirelessly behind the scenes will also be supported.

Enduro’s Marketing Programs Manager, Kurt Stockton, leads Enduro’s ambassador effort. “Since launching Riders & Wrenches in 2022, we’ve seen nothing but success—on and off the bike. We’ve celebrated victories in every discipline, including national championship wins in road, gravel, MTB endurance, and gravity racing,” said Stockton.

2025 Additions
As the exclusive bearing and bearing component sponsor of the Orbea FOX Factory Team (OFFT), Enduro is providing XD15 bearings and bottom brackets, 440C stainless headsets, and MAX Solid Lube and black oxide pivot bearings, while outfitting Orbea Service Course and team rigs with professional bearing removal and installation tools. Stockton added, “During last year’s visit to Orbea’s immaculate factory and service course, we were impressed by everyone’s friendly nature and attention to detail. It was an easy decision to become more involved in OFFT’s World Cup program.”

Staying true to its NorCal roots, Enduro is supporting the Neuhaus Metal Works’ BMX Team with XD15 hub bearings and Maxhit bottom brackets and 440C stainless headsets. It’s a bit of a bike racing homecoming as many of Enduro’s staff first fell in love with cycling through BMX.

Enduro Continues Its Strong Support of Two Elite Women’s Road Programs
The CCB p/b Levine Law Group Cycling Team will continue competing in road, criterium, and gravel events. Cynisca Cycling will primarily follow the European road calendar while preparing riders for World and National Championships. Both teams have their eyes on the inaugural U23 Women’s race at the 2025 World Road Championships in Kigali, Rwanda.

Enduro Global Solo Artists
Racing icons Katerina Nash and Geoff Kabush return this year, showing no signs of slowing down. Both will continue to chase wins and podiums in MTB XC, enduro, gravel, and cyclocross events. Bryan Larsen, Para-cycling World Track Championship medalist and 2024 Olympian, is our banked-boards specialist. Ultra-distance athletes Josh Ibbett and Kevin “Benky” Benkenstein will continue to stretch the limits of human performance in multi-day, self-supported events. And the always-smiling gravity go-fasters Amy Morrison and Marco Osborne will ride with Enduro bearings inside their Transition DH and enduro rigs. Yuri Hauswald will do Yuri things, while Sean Fincham and Andrew L’Esperance tag team the North American gravel and mountain bike calendar.

Enduro Honors the Swing Shift Crew
Enduro remains dedicated to the unsung heroes of the sport—the mechanics. Jenny Kallista passes forward decades of knowledge at the Appalachian Bicycle Institute. Tim Nicholls (Cycle Chvrch Cycles), Nic Vieri (Backyard Bike Shop) and Campy legend Dan Large (XL Velo) round out our roster of wrench spinners. Stockton stated, “As a former racer and team director, I know how critical mechanics are to rider and team success. It’s an honor to support them with our pro tools and high-performance products for their bikes .”
