Summary
The Specialized Enduro is celebrated for its exceptional downhill performance, blending downhill-bike plow with trail-bike play, and offering impressive pedaling efficiency. Its suspension design, lifted from the Demo downhill race bike, provides a smooth ride over rough terrain, making it a top choice for enduro racing. However, some reviews note it feels like a big bike, potentially requiring sizing down for more playfulness, and its climbing capabilities, while decent, are not its strongest suit.
Exceptional downhill performance
Impressive pedaling efficiency
Smooth suspension design
Blend of downhill-bike plow and trail-bike play
Comfortable at high speeds
Feels like a big bike, may require sizing down
Climbing capabilities are decent but not outstanding
No 27.5-inch wheel size option
Descending the Enduro is a laugh-out-loud kind of experience not just because of how secure it feels, but because it contains a very special blend of downhill-bike plow and trail-bike play.

Over the course of the year we’ve ridden a lot of different bikes and as we narrowed down those bikes to the eight tested here in our Enduro Bike Shootout, the Specialized Enduro is one of our favorites and one that we highly recommend. If you’re a rider who has plenty of pedaling and mellower trails to ride but really lives for the gnarlier trails in your town, the Enduro could be a great option for you. Read the Review to find our for yourself.

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!
Completely composed on the roughest trails
Brilliant rear suspension offering lots of traction
Smart features such as the SWAT box
Too much bike for many trails
Riding position too stretched uphill

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.
Blurs boundaries between enduro and downhill
Lower-tier components

Featuring poster-worthy bikes - and sometimes cars - Dream Rides is our ode to the vehicles we lust after. In this case a Porsche 911 GTS with bike racks and a ready-to-race Specialized Enduro Expert.

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.

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
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
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
