Specialized is bringing three existing bikes into the range in a tuned form with the Evo line. The "Enduro Expert", the "Stumpjumper Expert" and the "Epic Expert" are available for the 2011 model year with the addition "EVO", which generally stands for more comfort. This means, for example, wider and offset handlebars, Vario seatposts, different suspension elements or thicker tires.

Copied from the pros
When asked how they came up with the idea of creating a new product line with existing models, the engineers at Specialized had a smile on their faces. Their answer was simple: take a look at our riders' leisure bikes and how they have "pimped" them
. With the Evo line, the Americans are trying to close the gap to the next higher bike in the respective segment.
"Evo" is actually a tuning for existing series bikes. Initial test rides of the "Enduro Evo" have shown that it is able to close the gap to the "SX Trail" freeride bike very well. With a 170 millimeter steel spring fork and a steel spring shock from Fox, it takes a lot of rough terrain or long and high jumps to push the "Enduro Evo" to its limits. It is easier to handle, more agile and lighter than the "SX Trail" and, with its geometry and the Vario seatpost, it can easily climb several hundred meters uphill - a perfect partner for enduro freeride tours.

With a simple idea, Specialized offers the end consumer a range that leaves hardly anything to be desired.
