Although the "Enduro" has not been reinvented, it has reached the next evolutionary stage with new details and specification adjustments. The new S-Works top model weighs just 11.8 kilograms with 160 millimetres of suspension travel on the fork and 165 millimetres on the rear triangle.

Slightly modified geometry
Although the new "Enduro S-Works" has the same seat and steering angle, as well as the same bottom bracket height and chainstay length, what is new is a shorter head tube, a longer top tube and 165 millimetres (+5mm) of rear suspension travel. This is still made of aluminum even on the top models, while the main frame is made of carbon.

Only the best components used
The weight of 11.8 kilograms stated by Specialized is an absolute cracker for an enduro bike - no wonder with this specification list. The specification of the top bike reads like a wish list to Santa Claus. Shifting is 11-speed via the new Sram "XX One", which has a chain guide on the crank. The tapered head tube houses a Kashima-coated Fox fork from the Factory Line. The shock is the new "Double Barre Air" from Cane Creek, which stands for silky-smooth response and doesn't stiffen up even after rough climbs. The "Autosag" function is included in all other air-sprung models, as is now also the case with the Camber and Epic.

Nothing is left to chance with the wheels either. The new "Enduro S-Works" rides on the in-house "Roval Traverse SL" carbon wheelset. The wide rim should not even stop at thick 2.5-inch rubber. The Evo versions are also still in the range. Here, the suspension travel has been increased to 180 millimetres and the suspension uses steel spring elements. However, the Evo line will not be unveiled for another two weeks.
