Riders, Mechanics and Teams

Amy seemingly never runs short on do-good-things energy. She is a high school teacher, a coach, a four-time U.S National Enduro and three-time U.S. National Downhill Champion. Growing up as a competitive barefoot water-skier and pole vaulter laid the competitive foundation for Amy’s quick climb to the top of the podium box in both downhill and enduro racing. She races for Transition Bikes fitted with Enduro Maxhit components and MAX suspension bearings. In April, look for Amy in Grass Valley, California defending last year’s win at the TDS Invitational.

Geoff Kabush and Enduro have been spinning together for a few years now.  With more top-shelf gold than a Zale's jewelry store, this 3-time Olympian, 15-time Canadian and 5-time NORBA champion says: "I'll keep riding until the fun stops!" Yeti Cycles, Maxxis and Shimano also support Geoff, a guy who enjoys wrenching on bikes, mountain living, skiing in the off-season, and is an unabashed bookworm, sports nut and coffee nerd. Geoff contributes thoughtful op-ed and lifestyle articles to publications like CyclingTips and Pinkbike. Insta: @geoffkabush 

Josh began racing at age 14 and over the next 20 years his riding got a little out of hand. Progressing through 24-hour races, stage races and onto bikepacking and ultra-races. Josh can now be found racing his bike across continents or sleeping behind a bush at the side of the trail. A past winner of the Transcontinental Race and GBDuro, in 2024 Josh will be doing his very best to test Enduro Bearings to their limits at ultra events around the world. Insta: @joshibbet

Fluent in both Czech and English, Katerina Nash admits to being a bad speller in two languages. But wow, can she ride a bike and multitask!

A joy-filled husband, parent, and Curve Cycling business owner, Benky recently won the 2,700 km Rhino Run. He has pedaled almost every continent, only Asia remains on the bucket list and Antarctica isn’t for bikes but one never knows with Benky. “I love to see how fast I can go. I love seeing how far I can go. But further than that honestly, I don’t know. I think that it’s just something that, almost since I started riding when I was 14 or 15, that I’ve always just really enjoyed.” Insta: @kevinbenky

Marco grew up riding and racing MTBs with his best childhood friends, and NorCal legends Mark Weir and Ben Cruz. His first big pro win came in 2014 at Mammoth Mountain. In town for an enduro, Marco shocked the downhill scene with a US Pro GRT win – on his enduro bike. His resume is loaded with wins and podiums including 2017 and 2019 championships in France at the week-long Trans-Provence Enduro. Marco loves traveling the world, mixing camping and fishing into his pro enduro and downhill racing schedule.  Insta: @marco0sborne92

Hailing from the middle of the UK, interrupted by a 4-year vacation in the French Alps, and now living in the stunning Lake District, it's all about getting out riding for Meg.

She’s not shy of the competition side of riding either haven raced European Cups, Enduro World Series, National Series and Gravel epics. Better known as the Shark, she’s not afraid to get her teeth stuck into new projects. Insta: @meg_whyte

After Yuri Hauswald graduated from UC Berkeley, he taught elementary school for 11-years. Then Yuri realized he could ride bikes fast...all...day...long, highlighted by winning 24-hour MTB races and the 2015 Unbound gravel race, in a two-up sprint after 200 miles. Often called the 'Gandalf of Gravel' or the 'Pied Piper of Ride Stoke', Yuri is always ready to explore gravel roads and singletrack at race or chill pace. In addition to Enduro, his sponsors include GU, Sportful and Giant Bicycles. Insta: @yurihauswald

ButcherBox Cycling is a criterium first, road race second and forget about dirt professional men’s and women’s team, ButcherBox Cycling often relies on its riders to maintain their equipment.

Christopher – let’s call him Zig – Zigmont has returned to his roots after 30-years of technical and marketing roles with SRAM, Mavic and Pedro’s.

In 2020, Zig and his family returned to New Hampshire to open The Alternate Route, offering top shelf bicycle service, provisions, and field trips to amazing places. Insta: @the.alt.route
