Specialized Enduro Expert SL

[Beer4Recovery]

Hi,

 

Is there anyone out there who has a Specialized Enduro SL? I would like to know how this bike will perform in mtb events. Is this bike too heavy and difficult to maneuver in a race or does it perform well?

 

I am considering getting one but would like opinions first, otherwise I am thinking of getting a Trek Fuel EX5. I just don't want to make the wrong choice and regret it when I'm doing events.

I don't do too many competitions during the year it's mostly for fun, but would like to leave the option open if i decide to take it serious.

 

If anyone could give your comments it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Personally I would not race it. Rode one for a week and have a mate who rides one - more all mountain style. The bike probably weighs about 15/16kg? If you are set on a specialized and want to race, look at the epic - fantastic bike, just get the 2009 or later models as the 2008 has a bum shock. The enduro is more of a trail/all mountain style bike and geometry and travel is set for that. Just my 2c
