I love the Enduro, will be buying as soon as I can figure out how to afford
I use to avoid Specialized. For years I did. But I started realizing I love how all their bikes feel, personal preference.
I still don’t like some of the shit they do. Like my 2021 Fuse 27+ comes with a slightly worse frame, even at $1500. I didn’t even realize til after I brought it home. My fault, but still some cheapout bullshit. They made a separate frame for their slightly cheaper, but still burly, hardtail? At $1500, I want the better frame. Maybe I’m just used to Commencal having the same frame across price points, but this really ticked me off on buying another Specialized.
Until I tried the Enduro yesterday.
