Vojta Bláha Joins CDuro Bikes for 2025 Enduro EDR World Series on the Epona! 

CDuro Bikes is thrilled to announce that enduro sensation Vojta Bláha will represent the brand in the 2025 EDR World Series, riding the state-of-the-art Epona. This partnership signals an exciting leap forward for both Bláha and CDuro, who share goals of innovation, performance, and podium finishes. 

A Perfect Match: Why Bláha Chose CDuro 

Bláha’s decision to switch to CDuro was driven by the Epona’s unparalleled performance and the CDuro team’s passion. Speaking about the move, Bláha said: 

“My decision to move to CDuro was made on a trail. I didn’t really think the bike would be so good, but as soon as I did a lap on it, I was sure. The material of the frame performs like nothing else I’ve ever ridden. The stiffness is just right, and all the vibrations of the trail are very nicely muted. At the same time, the frame handles brutal forces while cornering and creates momentum very well from rider input.” 

Beyond the bike, the people behind CDuro sealed the deal. “It occurs to me that Ondra, Tomas, and Martin are super passionate about the bikes, and that’s what I’m looking for in my partners. I’m looking forward to pushing the product even further and working on making the best bike possible.” 

The Technical Edge Translated to Epona’s High Performance 

Bláha’s testing of the Epona confirmed its dominance across key metrics: 

• Vibration Damping: The carbon frame’s unique construction minimizes trail chatter without compromising responsiveness and makes for a quiet bike. 

• Optimized Stiffness: Provides stability during cornering and efficiently converts rider input into forward momentum and acceleration out of the turns. 

• Lightweight Design: With optimised carbon composite design and manufacturing process, climbing is effortless while maintaining downhill control. 

“The frame is playful yet stable, and it responds incredibly well to pedalling. It’s a bike that pushes boundaries,” Bláha shared. 

Shared Goals for the 2025 Season 

Bláha is not just a racer—he’s an integral part of CDuro’s development team. His insights are helping refine the Epona and pave the way for future platforms. “I’m super stoked to put all my efforts into this project. I have high hopes and can’t wait to see where this collaboration takes us,” he said. 

Bláha’s competitive target for 2025 is clear: breaking into the top 15 of the EDR rankings. With the Epona and CDuro’s passionate team behind him, he’s ready to make it happen. 

Looking Ahead 

CDuro’s partnership with Bláha represents a shared commitment to innovation and excellence. Together, they aim to redefine the enduro racing experience by creating a performance bike frame that gains riders’ seconds over the course. While continually pushing the composite technology behind the frame, CDuro can achieve an impressive rate of development. 

For updates and race results, insights and behind-the-scenes development, join CDuro in the next step in enduro racing as Vojta Bláha takes on the world with the Epona. The 2025 EDR World Series is just the beginning!

CDuro to Unveil Revolutionary Gravel Bike at Bespoked Show for Long-Distance Adventure Rides

New innovative carbon gravel frame optimized for epic rides 

CDuro is set to debut its latest bike frame at this year’s Bespoked Show [Dresden, 18-20 Oct 24]. Visitors can take a close-up glimpse at the prerelease gravel bike alongside the Epona Enduro mountain bike frame that was released at the beginning of the year. Although they sit almost at the opposite end of the offroad terrain spectrum, the two bikes share the common DNA of being lightweight and having high performance for endurance cycling. 

The new CDuro Gravel Bike is designed specifically for long-distance adventure cycling, the frame is optimised for demanding endurance races like the Tour Divide and Adventure Gravel Tours that will take you 1000s of km. It uses the same Advanced Winding Technology and Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) that brought brand recognition to the cycling world. With this new gravel frame, CDuro offers a combination of strength, lightweight durability, and unmatched rideability—perfect for conquering the world’s toughest gravel terrains.

“We’ve developed the gravel frame with adventure cyclists in mind,” said Ondrej Uher founder of CDuro. “Whether you’re taking on rugged mountain trails or open gravel roads, this frame is engineered to optimise performance, efficiency, and rider comfort on the longest and toughest rides. It’s the ideal bike for cyclists seeking epic journeys”

CDuro’s Technological Edge: What Sets the Gravel Frame Apart

The new gravel frame utilises robot-assisted automated fibre placement, ensuring precision in every carbon joint. Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) allows for continuous fibre connections, increasing structural integrity and reducing excess material, making the frame lightweight without sacrificing strength. Riders can trust in its durability and dependability, especially in ultra-distance events. 

This advanced technology mirrors the same innovative approach CDuro used in its EPONA Enduro Frame, which was launched at the beginning of 2024. The EPONA frame, designed for extreme enduro trails, has already grabbed industry attention with its disruptive approach to advanced carbon construction, giving it optimal stiffness and strength while offering outstanding ride quality. 

Built for Performance and Endurance

The two frames, equipped with CDuro’s signature Integrated Loop Technology, providing continuous fibre connections for enhanced durability and strength without the need for over-laminating. This results in an incredibly lightweight frame that maintains stiffness and reliability, even in the most challenging conditions. With distinct-looking finish of the raw fibres and exoskeleton-like loops, these bikes will stand out on the trail from the conventional factory-built frames.

This year, CDuro’s newest frame will be represented by Tomas Fabian, who finished 7th in this year’s Tour Divide. As CDuro’s new ambassador, Tomas will ride the CDuro gravel frame in next year’s Tour Divide, among other epic gravel races, showcasing its capabilities over thousands of kilometres of demanding gravel terrain.

“Tomas has already taken the CDuro Gravel out on long tracks, and he’s been thoroughly impressed by its rideability and durability,” Uher says. “His feedback during these endurance rides helped us fine-tune the frame, and we’re excited to see him represent us next year in these prestigious events.”

See the CDuro Gravel at Bespoked

Cyclists attending Bespoked will have the chance to see the CDuro Gravel bike up close and learn more about its unique features. CDuro representatives will be on hand to discuss the frame’s development, its performance in real-world conditions, and the brand’s plans for future events.

Introducing the Future of Enduro Bike Frame Design: Cduro’s Epona Frame

CDuro, a trailblazing newcomer in the world of cycling, born from the composite design and automated fibre placement specialist CompoTech Plus. The collaboration is thrilled to announce the highly-anticipated launch of its innovation: an Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) Enduro Bike Frame, The Epona. This revolutionary frame sets a new benchmark for performance, strength, and quality in the world of enduro cycling. Whilst unwavering commitment to innovation with automated manufacturing offers a glimpse to the future of composite frame production.

The Epona

Derived from the namesake of a famous black graded trail in the local Susice mountains on the edge of the Sumava national park (Nationalpark Bayericher Wald). Inspired by the goddess Epona: Goddess of Horses, Travelers & Dreams. Legend says the Celtic Goddess Epona and her white mare bring dreams to you. She helps manifest the dreams if you allow her to accompany you on your path. It’s a perfect analogy for the slack (64˚ head angle) long (475mm reach on the M) and 160mm travel on a light weight high modulus carbon frame. 

Integrated Carbon Fibre Joints and ILT

The CDuro Epona incorporates integrated continuous carbon fibre joints, from a robot assisted fibre laying process, expertly designed to seamlessly blend with the frame’s structure. This approach eradicates potential weak points, providing enhanced load distribution and overall structural integrity.

Furthermore, CompoTech’s Integrated Loop Technology (ILT) is harnessed, reducing the frame’s weight without sacrificing its strength. This unique approach results in a feather-light 2.2kg frame that enhances manoeuvrability, allowing riders to conquer every trail with confidence.

Built on the Foundation of Triangular Stability

At the heart of CDuro’s newest creation is the rock-solid stability of the triangle, inspired by the enduring wisdom of Buckminster Fuller’s words: “The triangle is the most stable of all shapes, and the basis of all structures.” By embracing the straight triangular tubular frame design, CDuro guarantees an unparalleled foundation for cyclists seeking unmatched performance and control on any terrain.

Strength and Targeted Stiffness

CDuro’s commitment to engineering excellence is exemplified by the exclusive use of straight tubes with optimised design of the laminate using aerospace grade High-modulus carbon fibre in this cutting-edge frame. Straight tubes are known for their exceptional resistance to torsional and bending forces, ensuring that the frame can handle the most rigorous conditions. This design choice provides a remarkable level of stability, control, and responsiveness that riders demand.

True, Zero Degrees, Axial-Placed Fibre

CDuro bike frames are reinforced with true, zero degrees, axial-placed fibre, a pioneering approach that aligns high-modulus carbon fibre strands with the primary forces acting on the frame. This strategic placement enhances the frame’s load-bearing capacity, minimising the risk of stress-related fatigue and ensuring a longer lifespan for your trusty two-wheeled companion.

A Game-Changer for Riders, Disrupting Technology

The Bike Frame from CDuro isn’t just another product; it’s a game-changer for riders who demand the best in terms of strength, stability, and performance. With a focus on strength, precision, and innovation, CDuro has redefined the standards of enduro bike frame design. But also in the automated technology behind the frame that CDuro wants to draw a direct line between performance and process.

Join us as we usher in a new era of cycling excellence with Cduro’s Epona enduro / trail  Bike Frame. This is the frame you’ve been waiting for to elevate your riding experience and conquer new trails.
