Welcome to the candy store!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Interested in the comparison between the Specialized Enduro 650b vs Enduro 29″? Read the review here<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week we carried out the biggest comparative test we have ever organised, it took place at our trail test location and well known Enduro spot in Punta Ala<\/a>, Tuscany. We took 15 Enduro bikes, from 15 different brands, then for 5 days they were ridden by 6 testers back to back. All supported logistically with the full time help of a professional mechanic who took care of all the technical preparation.<\/p>\n

Although there are 15 bikes, some brands are not present in the test because their bikes were not available, however the response from the industry in general was amazing and we would like to thank all our partners for their help.<\/p>\n

We have to point out that we tested the bikes which we received: wrong\/incorrect specifications or older frames are taken into account in our comments, as well as the those companies’ responses to our results regarding these bikes.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8970\"<\/a>
Punta Ala, Tuscany, the location of our test.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bikes<\/h2>\n

We tested only Enduro bikes with between 160-170mm of rear travel. Only one bike had less travel: the Lapierre Spicy Team (150mm). The French company specifies a 160mm fork on the front, but prefers less travel on the rear.<\/p>\n

It should also be known that Specialized sells an Enduro 29er, but this will be the subject of an individual review that will be published very soon.<\/p>\n

On Location<\/h2>\n

Our base camp for the week was at Punta Ala Camping Resort<\/a><\/strong>, a great location directly on the beach with very fast access to the trail network of the Bandite Trail Area. We just had to pedal for 5 minutes before hitting the first trail of our testing loop. The down hills were the same ones that were used at the Enduro World Series in 2013. We had the technical support of Bagnoli Bike Shop<\/a><\/strong>: run by two great guys who you’ll love to talk mountain biking and have a beer with at their well furnished shop.<\/p>\n

It’s possible to find all the notes on every bike further down in the article, we’d now like to focus on how the testing went.<\/p>\n

\"F75R1360\"<\/a>
Each bike was put through its paces on the Punta Ala 2013 Enduro World Series tracks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first point we noticed when looking at the field of bikes was that different companies have slightly different approaches and conceptual realisations for the Enduro category. Scott, Cannondale and Lapierre invested lots of time and energy in developing bikes that are also great to pedal uphill and accelerate well, while others like GT, Santacruz, Banshee, Nukeproof and YT concentrated more on the downhill performance. Other companies like\u00a0Specialized, Trek, Transition, Cube, Rose and MDE are in the middle, especially Specialized, which all testers defined their offering as the, “Golden Middle” a term often used in German to try and describe the perfect combination.<\/p>\n

The two bikes that came highest in the ranking have custom builds that give them a slight advantage compared to the other bikes. The Specialized Enduro had the highest ranking for the “Out of the box” bikes.<\/p>\n

\"F75R1247\"<\/a>
Each bike was pushed to its limit by our test riders in all possible trail conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Further more, Trek and Cannondale also sent us regular builds, the Jekyll which was also the only bike with a Shimano rear d\u00e9railleur. You read it right: SRAM currently has a near monopoly for all that concerns the current 1×11 drivetrain market, and not only in the high end segment: consider that the Cube Stereo only costs \u20ac2.999. Notice that SRAM supplies a lot of suspension components on a lot of the bikes with their Rock Shox branded products. They are able to offer nearly all the components on a bike. It is a serious strength that puts the American company at a clear advantage, especially when you consider the number of Pikes that come on Enduro bikes and how seriously they are seen in the industry as a competitive supplier.<\/p>\n

\"F75R1286\"<\/a>
Italian 2014 Superenduro champion Marco Milivinti, was on hand to test all the bikes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When talking about suspension it has to be said that Bos is doing an excellent job with their current line up. The Deville was present on three test bikes, one of them being the winning bike. The Bos rear shock, the Kirk, was very well liked by the testers and was found on the YT and the Banshee bikes. At the end of the testing, everybody agreed that the Bos component build was the best performing, especially on the Rune. If the overall weight of the Rune wouldn’t have been so high, this bike would have scored much higher in the ranking. The weight was also the main issue for the Nukeproof, together with the poor performance of its Marzocchi fork.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9052\"<\/a>
The Bos Deville was the favourite fork and responded well to the trail conditions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The suspension was the big problem for the Rose Uncle Jimbo. The Fox 34 that was mounted on it was under performing compared to the competition and we couldn’t understand why the German brand didn’t build the bike up with the newer Fox 36 (its standard build) on the test bike they sent us. The rear suspension was regressive\u00a0at the beginning of the travel stroke and too progressive at its end. Exactly the contrary to what the compression curve says should happen. Rose, who was notified of the problem, stated that the rear shock needs a service and\/or check to ensure it was performing as required. We will review the bike one more time very soon.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8747\"<\/a>
The Santacruz was the only bike with a Formula fork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Transition has changed completely its philosophy with its new bike, the Patrol, saying goodbye to the single pivot and hello to the Horst link. The Patrol is agile, with very plush suspension, it has lost the harsher character of it predecessor, the Covert. It is defiantly now a bike, “for everybody”, easy to handle.<\/p>\n

Lapierre sent us a Spicy team with the electronic E:I shock. This is the system that mountain biking legend Nicolas Vouilloz uses for Enduro racing and it gives great reactivity to the bike. This together with the simplicity when riding as the E:I thinks for you. You don’t need a remote control to soften or harden your suspension as you pedal. Unfortunately though the chainstays were too wide for some riders wearing Shimano and Five Ten downhill shoes, due to the inner brake mount. They touched the frame on nearly every pedal stroke, also in the downhill sections when the chainstays were moving solely because of the suspension movements.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8801\"<\/a>
Marco showed his professional skills well on all the bikes, bringing an edge to our tests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pivot was the only test bike supplied with a DW Link rear suspension, a great system for its anti-squat properties and sensitivity. Though this frame (a 2014 MY) had a problem with its rear gear system, we found the 1×11 chain was touching the chainstay near the rear drop-out when put on the 10T cog. Pivot stated that they provide some spacers for the 2014 frames and that the 2015 Mach 6 now have already a new rear triangle that solves this problem.<\/p>\n

The rankings<\/h2>\n

Every bike has been evaluated by each of the six testers. Each element tested on the bikes has a score that ranges from 1 to 10. This number was multiplied by the “Enduro” factor (a way of balancing the use of different bikes that we test, like a golf handicap) that you can see in the second column. All these results then have been aggregated in one table.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/h2>\n

The GT Sanction is our winning bike. Developed and tested together with Dan Atherton, this bike is essentially an Enduro missile. The rear shock remote control makes it possible to put the power down on the pedals on climbs or during sprints easily. The unique geometry reminded us of a mini-DH bike in the downhill sections. Read here why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on our podium in second place is the extensively discussed Santacruz Nomad, a great bike but with a price tag that is not for everybody. The first “out of the box” bike is ranked in third position: the Specialized Enduro Expert Carbon 650b it is the “golden middle” of this test and probably the most suitable bike for most of our readers.<\/p>\n

Our advice is to not go crazy on the numbers. Everyone can have fun on all of these bikes, especially if their various geometries\u00a0suit your riding style and you choose carefully\u00a0the build kit you like before buying. A good fork makes a huge difference on an Enduro bike, for example it doesn’t make sense specifying a Fox 34 when the excellent Fox 36 exists on the market at this point in time.<\/p>\n

The evolution of Enduro bikes has been huge over the past few years. It is possible now to ride nearly everything with one bike, this fact alone makes this segment probably the most attractive of current times.<\/p>\n

The testers<\/h2>\n

Alex Boyce, Mauro Franzi, Francesco Mazza, Marco Milivinti, Daniel Naftali, Marco Toniolo.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Thomas Daddi of Punta Ala Camping Resort<\/strong><\/a> and to Davide and Alessandro Bagnoli of \u00a0Bagnoli Bike<\/strong><\/a> for their great help.<\/p>\n
