Summary
The Specialized Enduro is a highly capable enduro bike, praised for its neutral suspension, excellent balance, and responsive steering. It excels in descending with a stable, confidence-inspiring ride, though some reviews note it can be taxing on less challenging terrain. The bike's geometry and suspension have been refined over the years, offering a plush ride that smooths out rough trails, making it a favorite for high-speed descents.
Admirably neutral suspension
Excellent balance and responsive steering
Plush ride that smooths out rough trails
Stable and confidence-inspiring on descents
Refined geometry and suspension over the years
Can be taxing on less challenging terrain
Slightly more conservative geometry than some competitors
Firm stock rear suspension noted by some riders
The Enduro presents a very good case for conservatism in design; it is a highly evolved, well-thought-out, very-well-behaved, extremely capable bike.
BIKE MagazineIt’s one solid bike, and now that’s it’s a little longer, a little slacker and a lot lower, it gives you the confidence to really hammer home the 165mm of travel.
MBRThe new Specialized Enduro has nothing in common with its predecessor, except for the name and the ingenious S.W.A.T. box.

We've been getting the thrills and a few spills in while wearing the latest summer threads from Specialized to see how they hold up to trail life
100% recycled
SPF protective
Loose without too much flap.
Crashproof
Good all-round fabric performance
Accurate, mobile shorts cut
Well placed pockets
Relatively pricey
Not the coolest
Beware the right leg 'pocket'

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.

With 29in wheels and 170mm travel the latest Specialized Enduro S-Works 29 is a scaled down version of the new Specialized Demo 29 DH bike.
Fast in every situation.
Inconsistent XTR brakes.

For its biggest, baddest Enduro ever, Specialized scrapped the hugely successful, yet rather long-in-the-tooth X-Wing frame and began anew. Inspired by

The new Enduro is a chaos calming beast of a bike when the terrain gets ugly. This S-Works model is eye-wateringly expensive, though
Great, stretched out confidence-inspiring geometry
Super supple suspension that helps iron out seriously rough trails with relative ease
Climbs pretty well for such a big travel big hitter
Works best when ridden in anger
Super expensive spec not without issue
50mm stem is too long
