As with the "Epic", the damper on the "Enduro" is now also routed parallel to the top tube, which should make the enduro bike even more sensitive. The shock linkage is routed around the seat tube, which means that the seat tube is interrupted later and the saddle can be lowered further. To make the enduro bike even stiffer, the engineers at Specialized have split the frame triangle in addition to using larger tube diameters, resulting in a visual "X". The result is a frame that is said to be over 20 percent stiffer than the previous Enduro.

In addition to the frame change, the suspension travel has also increased from 150 to 160 millimetres while the weight remains the same. A double-bridge fork has now been dispensed with. At 1774 grams, the in-house suspension fork is even the lightest lowerable fork. This was possible because the steerer tube and crown are made from a single piece and, together with the tapered head tube, provide the necessary stiffness.For the first time ever, the Americans are using two chainrings at the front on a production bike. All versions are equipped with a shiftable chain guide from "Gamut", which was specially developed for Specialized. With the exception of the "Comp" version, all are also equipped with the Command dropper post.
