Endura have launched a new collection ahead of the gravity race season openers, and have brought in DH royalty by way of the Atherton Clan for a special edition release of some more burly kit. The new Spring/Summer 2019 downhill and enduro kit line-up adds to the always popular MT500 premium mountain bike family, now getting new Burner II Pants, Burner II Shorts, and a race-ready Burner long sleeve jersey.
Endura MT500 Burner II Pants & Shorts in Atherton green
The MT500 Burner II Pants and Shorts are designed to have the durability of Downhill gear but with a ‘trail friendly’ construction.
This kit borrows innovation directly from the race kit developed for the Athertons, taking advantage of the latest durable stretch fabrics to provide the desired contemporary, flap free, slim fit with the freedom of movement required for extreme DH riding.
Both the MT500 Burner Pant II and the MT500 Burner Shorts II are made from 4-way stretch fabric in combination with a durable seat panel for longevity, mesh back knees for ventilation, and high stretch crotch and rear panels for full freedom of movement. The zipped fly with ratchet waist adjuster plus Velcro waist adjusters allow for individual fine-tuning. 3D molded details on the outer knee add some extra protection, while the zipped hand pockets stow away your valuables securely.

On it’s way: The Endura MT500 Full Face Helmet

It is due to be released in May 2019, along with other new additions to Endura’s protection range, and will be certified to ASTM F1952 and CE Standard EN1078:2012 + 1 A1:2012.
