The aim of the present study was to compare durability in elite cyclists of various performance levels, particularly after high-intensity work, referred to as \u201chigh-intensity durability.\u201d <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Forty-nine (N\u2009=\u200949) male road cyclists were categorized as either under 23 years of age (U23) (N\u2009=\u200911), Pro Team (N\u2009=\u200913), or World Tour (N\u2009=\u200924). The participants\u2019 critical power (CP) was assessed during the preseason. Thereafter, the participants\u2019 maximum mean power (MMP) values were determined for efforts of different durations (from 5\u00a0s to 30\u00a0min) after different levels of accumulated work above CP (from 0 to 7.5\u00a0kJ\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> U23 cyclists showed a significant reduction of all relative MMP values for durations \u22651\u00a0minute after \u22655\u00a0kJ\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> above CP compared with the \u201cfresh\u201d state (0\u00a0kJ\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>), whereas in Pro Team and World Tour cyclists, a significant reduction was not observed until 7.5\u00a0kJ\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> above CP. In the \u201cfresh\u201d state, both Pro Team and particularly World Tour cyclists attained higher MMP values for efforts \u226510\u00a0minutes than U23 riders. However, more differences emerged with greater previous work levels, and indeed after 7.5\u00a0kJ\u00b7kg<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> above CP World Tour cyclists attained higher MMP values than both U23 and Pro Team cyclists for most efforts (\u226530\u00a0s). <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Pro Team and particularly World Tour cyclists tolerate greater levels of
