2021 Specialized Enduro Expert review – Go big or go home!

Jan 2021 · Christoph Bayer

The Specialized Enduro enters this group test as the defending champion. Spoiler alert: it couldn’t quite clinch the win but it's still an awesome bike for a lot of riders. We found out who this bike is for!

Highs
  • Completely composed on the roughest trails

  • Brilliant rear suspension offering lots of traction

  • Smart features such as the SWAT box

Lows
  • Too much bike for many trails

  • Riding position too stretched uphill

Specialized Enduro Elite review: fast as hell - MBR

Aug 2020 · Mick Kirkman

Sharing several strands of DNA with Demo 29 downhill bike, the latest Specialized Enduro Elite is a major departure from the X-frame design of old.

Highs
  • Blurs boundaries between enduro and downhill

Lows
  • Lower-tier components

Specialized Enduro kit reviewed

May 2020 · Guy Kesteven

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

Highs
  • 100% recycled

  • SPF protective

  • Loose without too much flap.

  • Crashproof

  • Good all-round fabric performance

  • Accurate, mobile shorts cut

  • Well placed pockets

Lows
  • Relatively pricey

  • Not the coolest

  • Beware the right leg 'pocket'

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.

Specialized Enduro Comp (2020) review

Mar 2020 · Robin Weaver

The Enduro Comp will chew up and spit out the nasty terrain with ease, and let you take some seriously wild line choices in the process. The spec isn’t the best for the money though

Highs
  • Progressive, well-proportioned geometry that encourages you to ride really fast

  • Super-smooth, bump eating rear suspension that’ll swallow just about everything in its path

Lows
  • NX Eagle 12-speed gearing works okay but I’d expect something a little flashier at this price

  • Own brand tyres aren’t tough enough and struggle in some conditions
