Specialized Enduro Review | Still the best for 2023?

2023 Specialized Enduro custom build for racing DH. Put this bike up against any other Enduro, there's a reason this bike has been so successful! #iamspecialized #specializedenduro

I still love my Enduro; it may be the best downhill oriented trail/enduro bike. The rear suspension doesn't hang up like my Santa Cruz suspension does on square hits; it really rolls and wants to ride fast.

Love my 2020 enduro Full send through anything

Just got back from Mammoth, super tacky conditions despite all the snow damage and closures. I found even with the 29” wheels and long travel, it’ll pump for extra speed no problem. Works great everywhere I used to take my Wreckoning, just more attack-focused and less playful.

I’d love to go coil but between the leverage ratio and my kitted up weight at ~240 lbs it seems like there aren’t many springs up to the task.

I had 3 seasons on the enduro with onlins suspension - it was awesome. Owned the new mega tower, new nomad and norco range since then. Miss the enduro although the sizing wasn’t ideal for me and found myself needing something between a S3 and S4 at 6”2 height. The new mega tower is very similar to the enduro - I think Santa Cruz learnt a few lessons from Specialized on the development journey. The Norco range is definitely a faster more capable bike downhill but climbs like a slug with poor agility - its a boat. The nomad is a good compromise between all of them. One thing is for sure - I’m getting the new enduro when it finally lands, hopefully later this year. As for tires - the specialized Cannibals are a world class tyre for DH. Else its Magic Mary’s all the way…..

Nice work and great setup. I just bought the same enduro (color) and had it built up to a pro model. Most likely I will eventually change the shock.

Nice video man! Have always wanted to try the Enduro. Would love to test one out in Downieville sometime.

Hi Shane I was at Northstar in July for 5 days. Two runs down live wire on a friends Enduro and I was sold. My Enduro expert arrives this week. I must say the chop
before some of the live wire jumps was next level. My bike comes with the Float X2, but I am thinking about getting the DHX2 coil. Is your coil shock
custom tuned, or just off the shelf? Could you share your rebound and compression settings? One last question could you also share the rebound and compression settings
on the fork ? Thanks for all the info in your video !

I just took deliver of my ‘23 Comp.
The spec compared to the original comp is night & day. I’ve got full GX, Zeb & coil.

But the best bit. I paid £2200!!

I concur with the new Specialized tires...they got it right.

I wasn’t impressed with the specialized tires. I bought a pair of eliminators with downhill casings for my e-bike, and after only about 5 rides the sidewall blew out on me! I’ll stick to Maxxis from now on. Also I just bought a new specialized stumpy alloy, loving it so far( it has dual Asagai right away!)

I've got a Kenevo SL which is basically the same frame. The rear end feels very dead to me, are you experiencing that? The KSL came with the X2 shock and I've got no spacers in it currently. Never have bottomed out so don't want to go higher in pressure, but would like to make it poppier. Any suggestions? Great review and couldn't agree more on the tires. Try the new Cannibals!!! Amazing

So you’re 5’10” and you ride an S4. I’m 5’6” and I have S2. Sometimes I feel like I should have gotten an S3 because I’d like a longer reach but I only occasionally ride park here in western PA.

Thanks for the great video, curios if you're using 2.6 or 2.3 butchers up front

[katiesandnaomischoolvideos]

Probably over a year on this thread but wanted to ask if an enduro would be good for overall trail riding, live in Michigan and there’s some enduro trails but not too close to the Detroit area. With the prices right now I was considering the enduro which probably is going to be updated soon but if I can ride it on regular trails I would definitely be interested.

[paulwintermute]

Still one of the best long travel bikes on the market if you got the trails that demand it! Where were you riding at the end of the video? That's not northstar! 😅

[kellygregg]

Aloha, how does it compare to yt capra?🤙

[THEAMATEURS]

having a hard time choosing between the stunt jumper evo and the enduro. I want a bike that can do it all bike parks ect so I will be defending more then going up the mountain but I want a bike that climbs well and I want to go either specialised stunt jumper evo or enduro any ideas or tips to choose?

[Stylelss]

Did they fix the cracking issue with the frame.?

Is there a way to get hands on MTB NorCal stickers or jerseys anymore?

[marklouieadame]

What is the difference in 2022 to 2023? Geometry angle?
