im letzten Drittel des Interviews wird's interessant:
I think since the inception of enduro, it was funded with 160mm bike sales. Back then, everything was 100% muscle-powered, while today—I'm not sure about the exact proportions—but you have to split this market between the two types of bikes competing for the same market. I always thought that was significant.
If we talk about the product, when we started with enduro, it was a bike meant for everything—to ride one weekend and again the next weekend. Today, though, it’s changed. We all know that your enduro bike is now a race bike, a bike park bike, or a shuttle bike.
It’s not a bike for casual riding anymore. I’ve heard from locals in Finale Ligure—now a Mecca for enduro—that many visitors come with multiple bikes: two enduro bikes for shuttling and two gravel bikes for pedaling. They don't want to pedal with their 170mm bikes equipped with 38 mm forks anymore. It's lift-accessed bike park riding, shuttling, or racing. Who's still pedaling with those kinds of bikes? Not me, and I don't think many others are either.

Seit einigen Jahren haben wir, vor allem sei's Chris Porter verdankt, Enduros, die sich problemlos und angenehm über Stunden pedalieren lassen und jetzt ist's wieder nicht recht?
