[ad3]<\/p>\n

A few months back we spent some time on the Sunshine Coast in BC, Canada shredding the new Enduro at Coast Gravity Park. It took us a little while but we just got ahold of an Enduro S-Works 650b for a long term test rig. As the flagship bike from the Morgan Hill brand, it doesn’t come cheap but it is stacked; carbon fiber Roval Wheels, RockShox Lyrik, an Ohlins STX-22, and SRAM’s Eagle drivetrain with custom matching colors for the all black machine. Here’s a closer look…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h3>\n

Travel : 170mm front and rear
\nSWAT Downtube storage
\nSRAM Eagle 12 Speed 1X drivetrain with 500% range
\nBoost Spacing
\nRoval Traverse Fattie SL Carbon Fiber Wheels
\nRockShox Lyrik – 46mm offset
\nSpecialized Command Post irCC
\n“Not Quite Plus” Specialized Butcher\/Slaughter 650b X 2.6″<\/p>\n

SRAM Eagle X01 – custom all black colorway. 32 tooth chainring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
RockShox Lyrik – 170mm travel with a 46 mm offset to keep the slack head tube angle steering quickly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Ohlins STX-22 providing 170mm travel out back. Adjustable Rebound, high and low speed compression.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Specialized Command Post irCC. 125mm travel. Cable actuated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Built in downtube guard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
S.W.A.T. storage system. You can fit a pump, spare tube, wind breaker and more in here. Or you can put a burrito or a liquid flask if you choose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
We usually throw in-house grips right in the trash but the Specialized grips are actually quite nice. Diamond pattern on the top, waffle grid on the bottom and a single clamp design. SRAM Guide RS Carbon levers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
SRAM Guide RS brakes. 200mm front\/180mm rear rotor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
FSR kinematics, internal cable routing and a custom integrated chainstay protector.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Updated FSR linkage. Much burlier and it now uses the same hardware all the way around.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A little bit tight in there. Specialized designed the new Enduro around a 650b X 2.3″ tire but it’s spec’d with a 2.6″ wide tire. We’ll be trying them but likely switching to a 2.3″.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
More updates. The seatstays now brace and attach to the linkage both inboard and outboard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Specialized Henge saddle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Butcher gets bigger. 2.6″ wide surrounded by woven carbon fiber.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Smart in house spec for a clean cockpit. The S-Works bar is dialed. We’ve run it in the past. 38mm rise, 780mm wide.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Maxle stealth to keep it light. Only 24 spokes up front on these wheels. Radial lacing on the non-drive side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Mmmmm. Carbon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The best cable actuated lever on the market. Feels just like a shifter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Syntace 60mm stem. We just might try a 50mm stem at some point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
