Ex-Demo: Specialized Enduro Elite 27.5 Mens Mountain Bike - Medium

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

The unicorn of the MTB world that we all thought didn't really exist - a long-travel bike that climbs well and goes hard on the trail.

Introducing the Enduro Elite. It’s plenty stiff, nice and snappy, and with 27.5" wheels, it's super playful and descends like a bike possessed. Meet your new trail buddy, buddy.

The quest was to create the perfect long-travel trail bike, and it all began with a close look at the geometry. It was basically modernised, slacking out the front end, lengthening the top tube, shortening the chainstays, and lowering the bottom bracket. All of this together makes the bike truly feel glued to the ground, and the platform is more responsive and capable than ever.

Some crucial features were then added to make your ride better, including integrated storage with a SWAT™ Door at the down tube, a triumphant return to a threaded bottom bracket, and internal cable routing with guides that makes cabling super easy. To keep the weight down, the frame is constructed with the legendary, tough-as-nails X-Wing layout with a FACT 9m carbon fibre chassis and M5 alloy rear-end. To guarantee high degrees of "shredability," this material choice is greeted by 170mm of plush front and rear travel, plus a geometry that can be "adjusted" via a shock extension with a "low/high" setting.

For the build, this Enduro is packed with drool-worthy gear, like SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed shifting, powerful SRAM Code R brakes, hand-built Roval wheels, and a FOX Rhythm 36 fork up front.

• The frame has an X-Wing layout with a FACT 9m carbon chassis and an M5 alloy rear-end. Together, these elements combine to form the perfect balance of low weight, responsive handling, and unparalleled strength. It's also been built off a 27.5 Geometry in order to provide an aggressive, well-rounded ride. And with internal Command Post IR routing, a return to a threaded bottom bracket, and an integrated SWAT™ Door at the down tube, you get a bike that's clean, dependable, and ready for anything that the trail has to offer.
• The FOX Performance Elite DPX2 rear shock features Rx Trail Tune and plenty of cushion, ensuring that no matter the frame size, your bike is dialed-in perfectly.
• A FOX Rhythm 36 fork handles suspension duties up front with stiff stanchions, plenty of adjustability, and 170mm of travel.
