Flow tests a $10500 enduro dream - the Specialized S-Works Enduro 650B.

30 rides in on this bike. Was concerned about cc shock but not anymore. Been hammering on this thing and CC seems to have worked out any bugs. First thing is to detonate the "command post". That thing is complete trash. Keep in mind the 30.9 post diameter... The quality posts out there only have 125mm travel options. Being 6 feet tall 150 really would be best. Drivetrain hates muddy conditions with lots of grinding. If you're in the market for this bike consider the nomad also. Both great options but nomad has more versatility on seat posts. Great review guys and thanks for producing.

Hard to believe it was only 6 years ago when enduro race bikes came with Pikes and shocks with no external reservoir

I have the base comp model 650b and it's awesome, still a lot of money but worth it, not sure I'd spend 10 grand on a bike though!

Did he say 35 mil wide rims?  I'm assuming that's not the inner width (which is more important if you're going to talk about rim width).

You should come to Brisbane and ride at gap creek

I'm getting 60% off one of these. I finally have a chance to get a really good bike.

I've heard that rear shock has been blowing out on a lot of people at interbike....

[LukesBikes]

would you say the carbon expert is worth twice that of the comp? I can get a comp for 2500 and the expert for around 5000.

[willsnibson]

Well trever do you want to hook me up?

[kfach]

bike look sick, it has great components, but it cost over 10k$.. really!? bike prices are funny, and i think that they gonna be more expenensive in future.. for 11k $ u can buy a sport motorcycle and think in what product u have more technology/parts? bike or motorcycle?! peace

[MircelangeloSensei]

this costs more than a Audi rs8 (8000€)

That shock sucks and Specialized should man UP and change them all OUT for their customers that have paid big BUCKS and had nothing but crap results..1st hour and my mates blew and then 4wks after it finally was fixed it blew again..how to destroy loyal customers, put crap on their bikes... Man up Specialized, you deserve to this S-WORKS

2016 Enduro Comp would be plenty for most weekend riders. $9k for a fucking bike...hahahahah what a joke.

[darthvader]

To be honest that's one pricy bike.
