We independently tested the Specialized Enduro Expert Carbon 650b and the Enduro Expert Carbon 29 in the past weeks, now it’s time to compare the two bikes on the field.

The Enduro goes 650 by stealing the front triangle of the 26″ version – but does it ride like a Frankenbike?

The Specialized S-Works Enduro 29 makes the case for being the best of both worlds—a bike that handles like a 26er and rolls like a 29er. Did they pull it off? - Mtbr.com
