What is your favourite enduro bike of 2024?

[Alex-mdbu]

Swap tyres on the yt for testing but not the trek… seems a bit unfair, either run them all as standard or put control tyres on them all so you can feel the difference in the bike more easily…

[coralsaddiction]

Perfect timing for the vid. Looking for a new enduro bike

[SteFreee]

Did you test the Rocky Mountain altitude?

[JogBird]

the whole bike industry is going downhill.. they invented categories like 'enduro' and 'downcountry' to sell more bikes and raise prices.. now trek is slashing enture models and skus... MTBs have broken the $20k mark in canada.. just say no

[shafiqjan]

The YT had the best wheels IMO.
I've replaced formula hubs, only 2 left to go.

[mrvwbug]

These are "better" than the RM Altitude, Yeti SB160, Ibis HD6, or Transition Spire? The Capra is an easy win in this bunch of 3, it's a great bike and there's a reason why it's the bike of choice for privateer enduro racers, but I can't see the Slash with its troublesome idler or the Marin being basically just a park bike outdoing 4 bikes which are absolute weapons when pointed downhill.

[chillguys]

Why you didn’t got there any canyons for example strive which stand high on the ews podium or yeti. Plus pricing on these are terrible Ngl

[gurdevsingh]

End the santa cruz megatower is not in this list come on 😂😂

[ArmaniFlyHigh]

the enduro bikes or tested way to close to trail bikes...It will be different if you put the enduro bikes in their natural habitat to test, for example the mega avalanche...?

[marcopaganotto]

"clowncounty" will be the next big thing....

[RookYZRM]

Outside of the Session I could name a dozen bikes better than these, ridiculous title on this video.

[Hotitalianman]

3 bikes???? Unfair and ridiculous test..of course yT...european bias..YP
