Specialized Enduro Expert! Here it is. The all-new enduro bike climbs well and goes hard on the trail. A bike that is hard to beat. A nimble and playfull will make you easily the fastest in descents.

The Enduro 2021 is a ground-up reinvention bike. With a complete overall brand new frame design, it became a new machine on trails. With new geometry and Full FACT 11m carbon frame, it has 29" tires, low weight, and stiff construction. It demonstrates its presence with an angle and 170mm of travel suspension. Gravity oriented bike with 4 different sizes: S2, S3, S4, S5. With a new suspension layout, Enduro has a slightly shorter travel than his cousin Demo, but with a space for a bottle of water and a snack storage. Horst link design, chainstay pivot located below the rear axle are in the same place, but they have moved the shocker a little bit lower in the frame and shifted the main pivot location to reach design goals - to improve speed through the rough technical trails. With a new geometry, they have also increased the amount of anti-squat and progression.

With a rearward axle path, your rear wheel when hitting a rock, spends more of its arc moving back and up and out of the way of the rock, rather than slamming up and into the impact. The new linkage and lower mounted shock make the bike more planted and confident. Changes that were made in the Enduro's linkage improved small-bump sensitivity. You will get a smoother and more controlled suspension from start to finish. It is extremely good at pedaling, even though that has so much travel. The new design increased anti-squat, which means minimizing pedaling force on the suspension. And as we know, low is fast. A lower center of gravity makes you more stable at high speed. The new linkage and lower mounted shock make the bike more planted and confident and give a bike incredible confidence on the trails. A new developed custom shock RX tune gives you a perfectly balanced suspension. More control on suspension, more control on the bike and on the trail. The magic on this bike is balance, not stiffness. It has just the right balance of stiffness front to rear. Every enduro gives the same features, no matter the size of the bike. It gives you a more centered and balanced feel and control on descents and speed. Better pedaling position, shortest Seatpost for a longer travel dropper post.

The result of the bike is more predictable handling on technical trails.  

For the build, this Enduro is pac OneUp dropper post which will increase your manoeuvrability and control on steep descents. And the sizes of S4 and S5 frames feature 170mm travel version of the manic post.

So, what about the style-specific sizing?
With the new Enduro, seat tubes and stack heights don't grow massively between sizes. The Enduro has a long reach that’s matched with a short seat tube and stack height. Those traits allow many riders to comfortably fit more than just one size of Enduro. Now you can choose your ideal frame size based on both: your height and preferred riding style.  Do you prefer playfull riding of a shorter wheelbase? Then a smaller frame size is your choice. But, if your ego wants high-speed stability of a longer wheelbase, pick bigger frame size.

Why 29” wheels?

• 29" bikes for better control - thanks to a larger contact area with the ground, they offer you improved traction and better control while riding
• 29" bikes for higher speed - simple physics: larger diameter, higher speed
• 29" bikes for a smoother ride - larger wheels make it easier to overcome smaller and larger obstacles on the trail
• 29" bikes for taller bikers – simply because they are larger
