specialized enduro 2018

If you’re happy with your 2017 Enduro, but you’ve got flip-chip FOMO, you can purchase the new adjustable shock extension for your still-not-outdated Enduro.If you’ve ever ridden a BMX, dirt jumper, slopestyle, or any dedicated gravity bike, you know that the lower you set your seat, the higher you’ll angle its nose.

The shock extension link on the new 2018 Enduro is essentially shorter, but includes a spacer at the base of the shock stanchion that will bump them out to the same length we’re used to. Across the board, the difference in stack was decreased by around 10 millimeters, which is roughly half what it was last year.So the enduros are longer, we’ve got that covered, but I also mentioned lower and slacker. Your information has been successfully processed!Plus Schwalbe's overhauled "Super" series of casing options Its angle did feel much more natural when I was on the bike, and looked much more moto when I was off it, but if you’re riding a size that could fit a deeper dropper, it’s up to you to decide if that’s worth the extra inch.Everything else I love about the Enduro stayed the same. It’s a remarkable concept, and it works precisely as it was intended. They actually may have gotten it just right. The park was angry that day, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.

It shares the reliable mechanical locking mechanism of Command Posts we’re used to, with ratcheting adjustment until you reach the very bottom 25 millimeters.I saddled up, or, rather saddled down for some runs in the park to see how it all added up. Remove the spacer, and you’ll lower the bottom bracket by eight millimeters and slacken the head angle by a half degree. It was roomy, but it didn’t challenge my notions of proper fit like the Transition Sentinel or the new Which brings me to my favorite update, the geometry adjustability. There’s a high standard for low bottom brackets these days. After riding big-wheel brawlers like the Evil Wreckoning, Orbea Rallon, and Trek Slash, the Enduro seemed almost tame by comparison. November am Kiosk.

Maybe it’s how the saddle angle matches that of the top tube. In addition to the longer reach across all sizes, the 29-inch Enduro got a slightly lower stack height, though you can always drop the bottom bracket to make it easier to get behind. Nimble, flick'able, agile—whatever you want to call it, our Enduro Comp 650b embodies it in one hell of a beautiful, redesigned alloy package. Even though the Command Post Wu technically does only telescopes 115 millimeters, it is fair to call it a 150. And to ensure top-level performance on the descents, this material choice is greeted by 170mm of plush rear and 170mm front travel, plus a geometry that can be "adjusted" via a shock extension with a "low/high" setting.For the build, this Enduro is packed with send-it-ready gear, like SRAM one-by 11-speed shifting, powerful Guide R brakes, crazy-strong Roval wheels, and a RockShox Yari fork up front. Likewise, when you’re sitting at the top of a run, it just fits better. The last days of a dry Crankworx made for some rough braking bumps and required some careful shock tuning. I specify because it was almost exactly a year ago that the It depends on which size frame and wheel we’re talking about, but the Enduro gained anywhere between 5 and 19 millimeters in the reach department.

... Our Enduro Comp 650b is the fast-rolling, hard-hitting embodiment of agility and nimbleness. The Flip Chip on the new Enduro offers 8 millimeters of bottom bracket height and a half degree of head angle adjustment.

There’s still the SWAT door and an updated steerer-tube-stashed multi-tool and chain tool. I was on the flagship S-Works model, held up by luxurious Ohlins front and rear suspension. The mechanism stacks nearly 100 millimeters of hardware from base to rails compared to the 55 – 65 millimeters of popular traditional posts. Nimble, flick'able, agile—whatever you want to call it, our Enduro Comp 650b embodies it in one hell of a beautiful, redesigned alloy package.We gave it a geometry that features a slacker front end, a longer top tube, short chainstays, and a lower bottom bracket. As you drop the post, the saddle angles progressively back until it rests 14 degrees slacker at the low point.

But it’s not without its drawbacks. Bike Magazine has affiliate partnerships so we may receive compensation for some links to products and services.

The chainstays are still short and the seat angle is still steep.
