Specialized Enduro Elite 650b Mountain Bike 2016 - Full Suspension MTB
Extremely capable on technical descent the Specialized Enduro Elite is a full sus enduro MTB that can climb efficiently. With Rock Shox suspension and SRAM 1x11 gears this is a proper enduro mountain bike.
Frame
This Enduro is built with an M5 alloy frame around 650b wheels which combine nimble handling characteristics without compromising rapid rolling properties.
The rest of the angles are fitting of an enduro bike of this calibre with a slack head angle, long wheelbase, short chainstays and a low bottom bracket. The Enduro Elite is naturally stable at speed and when cornering whilst remaining agile.
Suspension
The Elite floats over rocks and roots on even the most technical descents thanks to 160mm front and 165mm rear travel. It’s controlled over small bumps and big hits alike. New this year is a RockShox Monarch shock which is very capable on gnarly DH trails.
Upfront is the brilliant RockShox Pike RC fork. This is simply one of the best enduro forks on the market, especially at this price point. It is stiff, plush and pretty lightweight. It’s also the same fork you’ll find on the higher priced Expert Carbon model.
Specialized’s FSR suspension platform provides fully active suspension performance even while pedalling and braking.
Components
New this year is a shorter stem and wider bars for massively improved steering response and stability when descending. The bars are 30mm wider for 2016, at 780mm. The stem is 15mm shorter for 2016 at 45mm (small / medium) and 60mm (large).
The SRAM X1 one by drivetrain gives you all the gears you’re going to need with excellent chain retention on rough trails.
Upgraded from 2015 is the Command Post IRcc dropper post, now with 10 steps of adjustability. You can get the perfect mid height for each trail section.
