Ex-Demo: Specialized Enduro Expert Carbon 650B Mountain Bike - Large

As this is not a brand new bike, it may not feature the full original technical specification and is subject to change.

You might take the occasional lift or shuttle, but your style necessitates being able to ride up the mountain while still maintaining the flickable manners of a mini-DH bike. This is where the Enduro FSR Expert Carbon 650b come in. To keep the weight down for both climbing and handling, the frame is constructed from a top-tier FACT IS-X 11m carbon fibre. This material comes with the added benefit of being incredibly stiff, which is balanced out by a nimble 650b Geometry's roomy top tube, short chainstays, slack head tube, and longer wheelbase. Add it all up, and you get a lively ride thats incredibly responsive on both climbs and descents. To further ensure top-level performance on the way down, this geo is mated with 160mm of plush travel up front and 165mm at rear. Handling suspension duties out back is the revolutionary, air-sprung Ohlins single tube rear shock. For the build, the Enduro spares no expense at hitting the pinnacle of performance, with a mix of SRAM X1 and X01 for shift and drivetrain duties, powerful Guide RS brakes, hand-built Roval wheels, and the venerable RockShox Pike RC 650b fork. There's nothing that this bike isn't ready for.

• FACT IS-X 11m carbon fibre chassis w/ M5 alloy rear end stands as the pinnacle of lightweight, efficient, and tough trail performance. It's been built off a 650b Geometry to provide an aggressive, playful, and well-rounded ride. With internal Command Post IR routing and full cartridge bearing pivots, you get a bike that's clean, dependable, and ready for anything that trail has to offer.
• The custom Ohlins single tube air shock at the rear features high- and low-speed compression, as well as low-speed rebound. You'll also find an extra-volume reservoir that allows for more oil, which results in more control and an ultra-plush ride quality.
• RockShox Pike RC 650b fork features a 15mm Maxle Ultimate thru-axle, compression adjust, and 160mm of plush air-sprung travel to take on big hits and bumpy terrain with supreme confidence and efficiency.
• Roval Traverse 650b alloy wheels feature an ultra-wide design that allows for greater tyre volume to increase stability and control, while the Aluminium construction ensures ample strength for all mountain and trail abuse.
• Command Post IRcc seatpost features up to 125mm of micro-adjust height adjustability for a more customisable position, ultimately resulting in more control and increased handling on both climbs and descents
