The Galfer brake discs and pads showcased reliability and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Martin Maes Dominates in Enduro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belgian rider Martin Maes from the Orbea Fox Enduro Team secured an outstanding victory in the Enduro category, finishing more than 15 seconds ahead of the second-placed rider. Maes dominated two of the four timed stages, wrapping up the season in a solid fifth place in the overall standings despite being penalized in one of the races. This victory is a brilliant way for the rider to end the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the women\u2019s categories, Galfer also shone with two second-place finishes by M\u00e9lanie Pugin (WeRide Exept Factory Team) in EDR and Chilean Florencia Espi\u00f1eira (Orbea Fox Enduro Team) in E-EDR. This marks Flo&#8217;s third consecutive world title in the women&#8217;s Electric Enduro category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in the E-EDR Master category, Jordi Bag\u00f3 (Pivot Cycles) secured another victory in the last race of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Andreas Kolb Podiums in Downhill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Downhill, Austrian Andreas Kolb (Continental Atherton) stood on the podium with an excellent third-place finish. Additionally, his teammate Charlie Hatton finished in ninth place, while Spaniard \u00c1ngel Su\u00e1rez (Frameworks) came in thirteenth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Orbea Fox Enduro Team was recognized as the best team of the weekend in the Enduro category, while Continental Atherton was ranked as the second-best team in the Downhill category. Both teams rely on Galfer Bike braking components, which were put to the test under harsh weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Enduro season will conclude with the World Championships from September 13 to 15, while the Downhill Championship will finish its season in Canada from October 4 to 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3976\" src=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-780x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-780x1024.jpg 780w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-768x1008.jpg 768w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-1170x1536.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/flo-2-1561x2048.jpg 1561w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3978\" src=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-780x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-780x1024.jpg 780w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-768x1008.jpg 768w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-1170x1536.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/kolb-2-1561x2048.jpg 1561w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3977\" src=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-780x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-780x1024.jpg 780w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-768x1008.jpg 768w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-1170x1536.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/hatton-1561x2048.jpg 1561w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3979\" src=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-780x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-780x1024.jpg 780w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-768x1008.jpg 768w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-1170x1536.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/galfer.com\/bike\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/maes-2-1561x2048.jpg 1561w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fantastic victory by Martin Maes in the Enduro World Cup and a great podium finish by Andreas Kolb in Downhill, both relying on Galfer Bike braking components under extreme conditions of rain and mud.
