Enduro racer and Jank Components owner Eric Olsen is heading to Scotland on May 30th to race the Enduro World Series. From there, alongside his friend Dan Perl, he’ll race three rounds of the series in Scotland, Slovenia, and Italy. The pair will be bikepacking between the events on fully loaded Forbidden high-pivot enduro bikes, complete with custom bags from Washington-based Loam Equipment.

“I believe bicycles are not just a means of recreation,” Eric explains, “but also a life-changing form of transportation, so I am fundraising for World Bicycle Relief along the way. Jank Components will be donating 50% of profit in the month of June, or you can donate directly.”
