Bike Review | Specialized Enduro Elite

Apr 2020

The new Specialized Enduro is a big bike in many ways. Yes, it has a lot of travel, big wheels and stacked numbers. But it is also big in a metaphysical sense, as it proves beyond a doubt that a bike can exist in two different realms at once. This is because it’s also light, snappy, poppy and playful, all in despite of what the numbers might say. As an evolutionary tangent of Specialized’s downhill beast, the Demo, it’s not a surprise that this bike is one of the hardest charging and most capable two-wheeled contraptions we’ve tested. 170mm of travel, a 1274mm wheel base and a head tube angle of 63.9 degrees will do that. Yet what really stands out about the Enduro is how comfortable it is in every situation—climbing included.

Review: Specialized Enduro Elite

Apr 2020

The Specialized Enduro is not for everyone, but for the people that it is for, prepare to be amazed. This is a purpose-built bike that will take you down trails you'd be second guessing on other rigs. The downside is, it'll make you hurt on the climbs.

First Ride Review: All-new Specialized Enduro 29

Aug 2019 · Christoph Bayer

The brand new 2020 Specialized Enduro 29 has little in common with its predecessor. It’s a brutal machine made for one thing: maximum downhill speed.

Highs
  • Plush and defined suspension

  • S.W.A.T. Box

  • Very balanced handling

  • Very composed on demanding terrain

  • Good climbing characteristics

  • Next level speed

  • Very quiet!

Lows
  • Boring on flat trails

  • Less agile than its predecessor

  • Manuals require a lot of effort

  • Seat tube angle could be steeper

[Tested] Specialized S-Works Enduro 29

Aug 2019 · Ian Collins

For quite some time with the Enduro model, Specialized stuck with a rather consistent frame layout. It had a Horst link rear end driving a linkage that wrapped around the seat tube and compressed the rear shock where it butted up against their “X-wing” front end. Those days are over! In putting that design to rest, the new Enduro adopts the same layout as the new Demo, which Loic Bruni has been piloting to great success this year on the World Cup DH circuit. In addition to the suspension revamp, the bike also received a complete and total facelift on
