Not sure on this one - likely to be a medium though, that's normally the size they have on show. I would go check out out in real life if you are unsure.
So many propriety parts may be a turn off for some but I honestly think some of their ideas are awesome. eg. SWAT storage inside the down tube is super unique and something that nearly every rider would seriously love to have.
It's mental. I started mountain biking back in 95, and the bikes then were never any where nearly as expensive as they are now, and we blatantly had as much fun. Nowadays it's just money making bullshit, and the companies make punters feel like the improvements they have made are worth the rip off prices. Give me a 97 Gt zaskar and i'll have just as much fun! Must be getting old
I still have my Proflex Anymal. 20 years old:) It become my commute-beater bike for last 5 years . All original parts. In 1997 it was 2+k bike. I think considering inflation should be about 4-5k in todays money. Good bikes are not cheap. Anything under $1500 today is garbage. It is sad.
chain tool 'more conveniently located now' LOL. to who? to rocks? Also, specialized changed the geometry so quickly because it makes people want to upgrade only after 1 year. simple as that. sell more bikes. They designed this bike in 2015 knowing the previous design will only have 1 year life. it's strategic to make people want to upgrade.
It's only strategic to ppl who NEED 10 mm extra reach. You can buy the yoke and spacer at LBS for 2017 models to have geo adjust which is pretty nice of them to offer. They coulda designed differently to strategically push ppl into wanting geo adjust
It's the fault of spec sheet consumers buying bikes based on HTA and reach. Making every manufacturer constantly change their bikes into a pseudo DH until no longer a trail bike and they stop making it. Used to be a long and slack bike called Status n they stopped making it. Now Enduro is turning into that bike and Stumpy is borderline enduro (not cap Enduro) specs and Camber is now what Stumpy used to be. 10 yrs from now Enduro will be gone and Stumpy will be long and slack and Camber will be borderline enduro specs and Specialized will have introduced a new mid travel bike...
what they should do is bring back the status as their full gravity enduro modern bike with both 29 and 27.5 metric shock boost spazing for hubs threaded bb a more standard seat tube diameter like some people at specialized are actually dumb... and then just keep the enduro roughly how it is right now and just build the 2019 stumpjuper evo on a cabron frame
@00:58 Kinda like how US companies only then use the metric system when it's more convenient to throw _bigger_ numbers at the audience. 0.4-0.6" Meh... 1-1.5cm Good, but not quite. 10-15mm That's right! *NOW* we're talking! ;)
Max D yea we need our pistols at all times, what if we run into a "road biker" how the heck are we supposed to defend and tell them that mountain bikes are way better
Hey Vernon, do some investigative work to confirm this, but I heard that Specialized had a shop fire and the molds for the Enduro were destroyed. Hence the reason for re-design as they had to make new molds anyway.
You are right but everybody that buy the enduro 2014 to 2016 now the geometry is much different, I always feels that the first enduro 29 should be more slacker and a little more longer top tube for more wheel base and they done that, kind of piss me off when my enduro climbs better than goin downhill.
They redesigned it 1 year later as the 2017 29 was a bad bike, I test rode it in the spring, unstable to the max, twitchy, poor suspension action, I read several reviews that said the same thing, I couldn't believe that a big company like spesh could screw up a bike that bad, made for enduro racers or something, hopefully they fixed it for 2018.
specialized trying to reinvent the seat angle. wonder how reliable is that piece of kit. what I dont wonder about is the pricing I bet its like 10g's :D
So the Enduro is a trail bike not an enduro bike. The BB was wrong height for 29 because it was set for 27+. The dude explaining the bike is more interested in regurgitating the business decisions behind the bike.
It's so when your hanging off the back of your bike on the steep stuff your crown jewels have got more clearance, that's why many DH riders run their seat that way....
Paul Davies Yeah I was thinking like you recently. I have 125mm drop and a the seat slightly angled towards the front, for better climbing. Unfortunately it makes it harder to move back-front. More drop is a sollution, but sometimes it won't fit. 170mm wouldn't fit on my bike with my saddle height, 150 maybe. Also more drop with those thin stanchions on dropper posts is cringe.
7mm drop is actually quite a big difference. Most brands seem to go around 10mm-15mm drop on a 27.5 bike - so if you can alter it 7mm that's quite significant.
We've got a TONNE of new videos coming up, make sure you hit that subscribe button to keep up to date!
Pinkbike what size is the new bike in the video? Is it a small 650b? Thanks!

dudersmart I rode my 1998 gt backwoods until 20 15 then I upgraded to my GT sensor! LONG LIVE GT!
Ronald Tartaglia Yeah brother! Good to hear it 😊
I'm actually looking for a 90's zaskar to buy right now, old school all the way for me! Hahaha!
dudersmart I too started near then in about grade five. I refuse to buy a new mountain bike.... Had to get into bmx instead. Having allot of fun.
I still have my Proflex Anymal. 20 years old:) It become my commute-beater bike for last 5 years . All original parts. In 1997 it was 2+k bike. I think considering inflation should be about 4-5k in todays money. Good bikes are not cheap. Anything under $1500 today is garbage. It is sad.
I had a GT Zaskar, it was a nice bike...
The auto adjustable dropper is a great mod.. I have a 2018 Stumpy wish it had that.

I would touch that frame with a 10ft pole
summary: we did mess it up in the first place
Karl Wyoung they got a lot of things right, but have only made it better .

Roger Neilson I miss the status that thing was a beast!
what they should do is bring back the status as their full gravity enduro modern bike with both 29 and 27.5 metric shock boost spazing for hubs threaded bb a more standard seat tube diameter like some people at specialized are actually dumb...
and then just keep the enduro roughly how it is right now and just build the 2019 stumpjuper evo on a cabron frame
@00:58 Kinda like how US companies only then use the metric system when it's more convenient to throw _bigger_ numbers at the audience.
0.4-0.6" Meh...
1-1.5cm Good, but not quite.
10-15mm That's right! *NOW* we're talking!
;)
Yeah thats funny
The one up components head tube thing is better than that but the seat post was pretty sweet.
Now these need on the fly geometry adjust like the canyon bikes that would be SICK !
So you're telling me that S.W.A.T. Concealed Carry doesn't mean I have a spot for my pistol? Deal breaker.
Max D yea we need our pistols at all times, what if we run into a "road biker" how the heck are we supposed to defend and tell them that mountain bikes are way better
Hey Vernon, do some investigative work to confirm this, but I heard that Specialized had a shop fire and the molds for the Enduro were destroyed. Hence the reason for re-design as they had to make new molds anyway.
that sounds like a bunch of poo
Forgot to show us the compartment under the water bottle holder on the downtooob
Whats the difference between the Stumpjumper and Enduro line? Need some advice.
Anyone notice that the front Roval wheel is using different hub? No more radial/straight pull spokes? Any additional info on this?
I need that seat post!
Meh, except for the dropper.
Wonder how much crazier the price will be? I'm guessing $8k base model & $13k for one with carbon hoops.
MTB4L probably. Just buy it in a year and it will be cheaper.
MTB4L check specialized's website. Same price as last year's model.
MTB4L old Endro was like $5k for the X0
It's going for $23,000 now with the upgraded carbon hoops
Wtf 5k for a bicycle???
Best looking bike ever. digging that red orange and black
Can you do this but for the Commencal meta sx 2017, 2018?
I’m planning to buy a bicycle,how much does this bicycle cost?
Im wondering why 2nd year in a row they skipping metrick shock?
Whats more durable carbon or aluminum cranks? They come with my new bike.
Karl Lindberg carbon
Whats the diameter of the seat post?
34.9mm
dammit....
When will you add clearance for Maxxis 29x3.0 tires?
Holy hell that's a lot of rubber I'll pass
NEED MORE GRIP. They actually roll pretty good for me; I run one up front with my fox 36and a 2.4 maxxis or 2.6 schwalbe in the rear.
wut 29+? go buy salsa
So my enduro 2015 is useless now?
Just ride your f#%king bike!!
Completely useless, in other words - unrideable ! ;-)
If you need to retire your 2015 Model, i can do that for you without any costs ....
Yes new model is 0.02 seconds faster!
You are right but everybody that buy the enduro 2014 to 2016 now the geometry is much different, I always feels that the first enduro 29 should be more slacker and a little more longer top tube for more wheel base and they done that, kind of piss me off when my enduro climbs better than goin downhill.
I'm still riding my '13 carbon expert and it's still awesome. Of course the nice upgrades I've made to it have really helped.
Is it better than a yt though?
Can we talk about how tiny those cranks are?
Any mountain bikes that cost over $5k is not worth it.
Specialized enduro comp or canyon strive al 5.0?
Really cool. Do you need a permit for your concealed carry swat? Lol
The 27.5 needs a 170 180 fork
Ohlins for the win
Sales slumped lol roll out 2018.
" a lot of people still pedal their enduros". 2:57 lol.
yea like wtf are there ppl that dont pedal cmon every1 will take a shutle from time to time but you still need to pedal
They redesigned it 1 year later as the 2017 29 was a bad bike, I test rode it in the spring, unstable to the max, twitchy, poor suspension action, I read several reviews that said the same thing, I couldn't believe that a big company like spesh could screw up a bike that bad, made for enduro racers or something, hopefully they fixed it for 2018.
They want this version to last, but it's the ONLY bike made by a large or even semi-large company that's not using a metric shock.
specialized trying to reinvent the seat angle. wonder how reliable is that piece of kit. what I dont wonder about is the pricing I bet its like 10g's :D
Ignacy K that bike is $6,500
tthier only mtb that costs that much is the epic and that's because of the brain suspension
awesome bike
I want that bike, but I'm sure it's gonna cost like $8k minimum.
Why doesn't specialized sell alloy Enduro frame only? Extremely disappointing
Anton Paris The comp model is allow
oh, adjustable geometry..like my good old cannondale prophet
And Trek Remedy/Fuel Ex, Scott Genius, Rocky Mountain EVERYTHING, Banshee EVERYTHING, oh and my 15 yr old Specialized Enduro lol
Well might as well wait for 2019 model since it will change anyway right.... Yeah screw that... Time to find a 2014 for dirt cheap.
Don’t see the point of the chain tool thing
in case you snap a chain on a ride so you don't have to walk back to your car
helps yo not to have to carry one with you all the time on your backpack so you wont forget it if you change bags, its always in your bike
No, that's exactly how you sell bikes. Make the previous year seem as if it's already obsolete.
SpecialEDS Always a couple years behind Trek
hope its lighter, specialzed enduros all seem to be wayy heavier than all other 170mm bikes i know
OffCamberIgnitor dude just eatvless, you will she'd pounds and save twice as much money.
So the Enduro is a trail bike not an enduro bike.
The BB was wrong height for 29 because it was set for 27+.
The dude explaining the bike is more interested in regurgitating the business decisions behind the bike.
Its beatiful Bike.
So they copied the canyon strive shape shifter tec
"A lot of people still pedaled their Enduro" wtf Enduro means peddle up race down
How can you change and redesign every year?
Let's cut the BS - It's marketineg and Because the bike is that expensive.
Next question!?
Who sits on their seat when it's dropped anyways?? Pointless.
Paul Davies that's a pretty good point. They almost got me haha
It's so when your hanging off the back of your bike on the steep stuff your crown jewels have got more clearance, that's why many DH riders run their seat that way....
probably because of weight
Maybe is lighter than a 170 mm dropper, or maybe it's just marketing
Paul Davies Yeah I was thinking like you recently. I have 125mm drop and a the seat slightly angled towards the front, for better climbing. Unfortunately it makes it harder to move back-front. More drop is a sollution, but sometimes it won't fit. 170mm wouldn't fit on my bike with my saddle height, 150 maybe. Also more drop with those thin stanchions on dropper posts is cringe.
Aaaaannnnd it looks the same as always...
Whoopty doo,you can drop the bottom bracket 7mm,big fucking deal Specialized
7mm drop is actually quite a big difference. Most brands seem to go around 10mm-15mm drop on a 27.5 bike - so if you can alter it 7mm that's quite significant.
Spec is shit ..... yeti all the way
It is a big pile of junk, front to back top to bottom.
I'm sorry, but nothing special
👎👎👎
Specialized is overpriced crap.
FullMetalPatches most bikes nowadays are overpriced ripoffs
wheels look too big
