Enduro Expert Carbon 650b

2016 Enduro Expert Carbon 650b

You know your riding style, and it consists of going as big as possible. Sure, you might take the occasional lift or shuttle, but your style necessitates being able to ride up the mountain while still maintaining the flickable manners of a mini-DH bike. This is where the Enduro FSR Expert Carbon 650b come in. To keep the weight down for both climbing and handling, the frame is constructed from our top-tier FACT IS-X 11m carbon fiber. This material comes with the added benefit of being incredibly stiff, which is balanced out by our nimble 650b Geometry's roomy top tube, short chainstays, slack head tube, and longer wheelbase. Add it all up, and you get a lively ride that's incredibly responsive on both climbs and descents. And to further ensure top-level performance on the way down, this geo is mated with 160mm of plush travel up front and 165mm at rear. Handling suspension duties out back is the revolutionary, air-sprung Öhlins single tube rear shock. And for the build, the Enduro spares no expense at hitting the pinnacle of performance, with a mix of SRAM X1 and X01 for shift and drivetrain duties, powerful Guide RS brakes, hand-built Roval wheels, and the venerable RockShox Pike RC 650b fork. There's nothing that this bike isn't ready for.
