Especially for actual enduro racing... making those mid stage climbs (and any pedally section really), easier/faster would probably net an appreciable difference. Even the transitions... without having to think about it and save you some energy. Again, over a whole day of racing = probable appreciable difference. But then there's the cost... for a pro it's not an issue, but privateer and more grassroots racings series... that's a steep price for a few seconds and bragging rights.
Any pros in the EWS using this yet? Didn't really notice it last season... but wasn't really looking. Fox Live Valve never took off for pros because of obvious reasons, but I could see this being useful.
