This year marks the YT MOB’s expansion into the Enduro World Cup, a series at the forefront of the media combining speed, endurance and technical ability. Our elite roster features three heavy hitters: Jack Moir, Christian Textor, & Kasper Woolley.
The MOB goes one step further than the traditional setups you’re accustomed to seeing on the circuit. A unique angle we are bringing to racing is the UNCAGED strategy, which allows each MOB athlete to use whatever product they feel maximises their performance. Throughout the season and various test camps, the riders can try products from different manufacturers.
“We’re committed to our athlete’s performance and giving them the support and freedom they need to win at the highest level. Our #UNCAGED strategy gives each enduro rider the ability to choose parts based on performance rather than sponsorship. I’m pretty excited to see what they change throughout the season.”
– Jan-Philipp Becker, Head of Sports Marketing & Partnerships.

Throughout the YT team camp, Jack was heavily testing frame size, between large and extra large. From there, he customised the seat stay length, swapping parts from different frame sizes to get the perfect fit. In addition to that, he also tested Works Components reach adjust headset, which allows for a +/- 5mm adjustment.
“My main goal from our initial team camp was to find a base. For me, this meant starting with frame size.”
– Jack Moir
“Choosing your own components is every rider’s dream. I have picked everything I’m comfortable on for now and will get into testing some other stuff next off-season.”
– Jack Moir
