what is enduro anyways? One would think it has to do with endurance racing. But looking at the bikes involved ,it seems more of a bike you would use in a tech stunt course.

Marketing!  Same thing  at All mountain or trail bikes.  Some where in between XC and Downhill, but of coarse much much cooler Cool

It is marketing but it also is easily defined in racing/riding that has too much uphill to use a Downhill bike and too much down hill to use an XC bike.

Specifically, the 2014 S-Works 29 Enduro is an absolute dream of a bike.  155mm of fun front and back.

EnduroTM
(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Enduro is the future of mountain biking say the marketing people across the industry. XC mixed with downhill with the emphasis on downhill. An excuse to create a new style of riding so to speak, get the masses hyped on it and sell a bunch of new bikes because obviously your 4-5" travel "Trail/All Mountain" bike cant hang because its not EnduroTM

Enduro is the lunch special #5 at La Unica on Sutherland Ave. in Monroe. You can have Chicken Enduro, Beef Enduro, Enduro al Pastor, and Veggie Enduro. Make it Enduro La Unica(which adds avocado, sour creme, and roasted peppers) for .75 more. Rice and beans is $2.50 more but well worth it. They even have Enduro Lengua(beef tongue Shocked).

Enduro is only using the left lane to pass slower drivers.
Enduro is returning your library books before they're due.
Enduro is brushing your teeth for at least 2 minutes before bed.
Enduro is making the noise of the animal cracker before eating it.
