Skill 1 of 6

This overview explains every control you’ll use in hard enduro and how each scales from zero to advanced use. Open the sub‑pages for deep dives.

Throttle

Steady hands win. Keep throttle mostly constant and shape power with the clutch. Learn to ride at walking pace before adding bursts.

Your traction control. Live in the friction zone to meter torque precisely. Advance from creeping control to timing lifts and drive on climbs.

Modulate smoothly to set pitch and light the rear. Progress from slow downs to controlled light rear lift and tight pivots.

Your calm button. Stabilizes chassis, checks speed on descents, manages wheelies, and enables pivots. Learn feathering and hill restarts.

Choose gears for traction and clutch health. Lower gears for control, higher gears for smoother torque. Pre‑select before features.

Emergency stops and confident restarts (especially on hills) save energy and time. Practice safe engine kills and quick starts.
