Specialized Enduro MX

While this isn't quite a "dream bike", and it's more of experiment, we wanted to share our Specialized Enduro MX build with you...Full article here:

Sick build! Love companies like WRP and Cascade components to allow us to get wild with our bikes

I've been running the exact same setup (SW enduro w/ wrp link and dhx2) as you for about 6 months now. Definetly the best bike i've ever ridden, sick to see more people picking up on it!

Thanks for sharing with us! Killer build.

Cool mullet set up the best 29r front and 27.5 rear.but due to my height i change back to 27.5 straight.🤘🤘🤘

Awesome build! Thanks for the initial thoughts. I’ve been curious to try this out. I’m 5’-8” on a size S3 2021 enduro and have always wondered what it would feel like with a MX setup. I think I just might try it after watching this😂

[roddas]

Had my Kenevo SL set up like this since I got it. Running a Zeb up front and a Cane Creek Katsumi coil out back. It's a badass bike.

I've got PTSD with "mullet style" from my old-school DH days. I used to ride a Santa Cruz Super 8 with the 26" front and 24" rear. I know this is an EXTREME case of "mulletism" but mad that rear wheel really hung up of thing so much more than the front wheel did. Also, here in Colorado we do A LOT of climbing and I just can't get past the idea that it's not going to climb as well as a straight up 29'er. I have a dedicated DH bike so my Guerrilla Gravity Gnarvana is my trail/enduro bike and it can do pretty much anything including climb fairly well, even tho I'm a shitty climber. Nice edit BTW, well done!!

[finroddd]

very nice! I just like coil shocks and putting it to enduro bike makes a lot of sense! About mullet setup - tried it but it is not for me sadly. I am not tall enough and the bike felt very sluggish almost impossible to make turns. Anyway the idea is good.

[mudkayak]

Would like to know more about how the mix wheel rides vs the 29's ?

[lukenelsonoutdoors]

Is there any chance I could do this without the peice from Williams racing products or would it just totally destroy the bikes geometry

[pedalstrkrmtb]

Awesome idea! I have a 2020 Enduro and I am quite intrigued 🤔. Wanted to ask you what trails your riding in the clips, I live in Spokane and want to venture out a bit at some point. They look very fun!

[microshiroku]

Hi, i love the build, will it be different if the frame sized for 27.5 but paired with 29er fork?

[johnnybaridi]

Hey man, nice vid. Just bought the 2022 Enduro and will mullet it. Was looking at the wrp link but some say you can only run it in the low setting mode of flip chip. Is this the case?

[porroco]

That’s the way that kenevo should come as a MX, i have a santacruz bullit cc and love that bike with MX set up, but i own a yeti 160e and had the same mistake as kenevo sl as 29er. I changed to a 27.5x28” at the rear mt 160e.
Both bikes kenevo and yeto 160e were on the test for long periot of time that the were focosing with 29er, but not MX class that kept working perfect pn ebikes

[testtesttesttesttest]

Do you think this helps that weird front center geo of the enduro that makes it hard to keep the front wheel planted?

[romand]

Safe to say the WRP link works with the Kenevo SL??

[davidwoodward]

Also shout out to Rhode Fab of Edgewater, MD who made the mullet link first before WRP did. Support USA made and designed.

[edmaori]

SInce it's a mullet can i swaps the 29'er front to a 27.5..?

[chrisprysok]

Kid at the races last year got his bike run over by a camera guy. Specialized only had one bike to send him. It was a blue 2023 enduro. Thet wouldn't tell him the
Name of the blue color when they shipped. No coil shock tho.

[JoaquinBridges]

Awesome video! I have a S5 enduro, and this MX move interests me. Would it new rear shock if I went made it 27.5? I have the rockshock ultiamte 170mm rear?
