SCOUT Enduro – The Latest Game Changer from SCOUT Paramotors
When you think of the word “enduro,” most will think of tough motorcycles built for rugged terrain and high speed off road racing. Pulling from the success of the SCOUT Carbon model, the Enduro takes things to a whole new level of strength in design with the new Enduro model. We will be releasing more information in the near future on the new SCOUT Enduro Paramotor. Don’t worry, this model is not designed to replace the existing carbon fiber paramotor in any way. These two paramotors will fill totally different roles.
