Specialized Enduro Expert Carbon 29er Mountain Bike 2021

The Enduro Expert has always packed a serious punch and it’s never been so true. You get 170-millimeters of the most capable downhill performance that gains elevation with surprising ease. Full FOX suspension powerful disc brakes and a robust alloy wheelset round it out.

INCREDIBLY CAPABLE
If the Enduro looks like its sibling the Demo it’s because they share plenty of downhill DNA. A more-rearward axle path reduces wheel hang-up on big impacts. A low- and forward-positioned shock keeps it planted and confident-feeling at high speeds. And balanced chassis stiffness helps the front-end steer precisely and keeps the rear-end tracking like it’s on rails. Add it all up and you have a bike that laughs in the face of the steepest rockiest trails.

FAST STARTS WITH FIT
Fast and fit aren’t mutually exclusive which is why the progressive geometry of the Enduro has been designed for going up and down. To start seat tubes and stack heights don’t grow massively between sizes meaning you can now pick a frame size based on both your height and your riding style. Pair this new sizing style with a slacker head angle longer reach and steeper seat tube across the line and you’re left with a quicker and more capable steed no matter the size.
