    Enduro Elite 27.5

    2019 Enduro Elite 27.5

    Wait—a long-travel trail bike that climbs well and goes hard on the trail? Yeah, we didn’t think it was possible either—until we designed 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.

    Our quest was to create the perfect long-travel trail bike, and it all began with a close look at the geometry. Basically, we modernized it— 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.

    We then added some crucial bits to make your ride, well, better. We're talking stuff like 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. And to keep the weight down, the frame is constructed with our legendary, tough-as-nails X-Wing layout with a FACT 9m carbon fiber 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.

    Sic Ride!

    I love this bike! I have taken it down hardcore avalanche looking, rocked out steep trails where I should have been on my DH, but this worked just fine and faster in many sections. I have done this many times because of its diverse feel; you can also pedal it all over including up! That said it is also awesome for my park sessions and is easy to flick around and can lay it over in corners. Only upgrades I am considering is putting a 2.5 tire in the rear (I love the 2.6 front as it sticks) and a Fox Factory 38 up front. I wish I could try it as a mullet, I am still happy and highly recommend it.

    Would Recommend?
    Yes!

    Loves being pointed downhill, and it climbs!

    I've got two seasons on this bike now (2017 model). It eats up steeps, rocks, and roots almost as well as a downhill bike, but pedals well enough to handle a multi-day enduro with 10,000 feet of climbing. This is my go-to bike for lift access terrain and enduro races...it's super versatile and loves to be pointed downhill!!
