Specialized Enduro Expert Carbon 650b Mountain Bike 2016 - Full Suspension MTB
The Enduro Expert Carbon (650b) is made for going as big as possible. More than capable of the occasional uplift day and Alpine DH holiday the Expert is also nimble and capable on the ascents. The Enduro is agile, eager, and ready to dominate the entire mountain.

Frame
The Expert is a combination of carbon and alloy, creating a lighter frame for easier climbs and flickable descents. A FACT IS-X 11m carbon composite front triangle is matched to an M5 alloy rear. Dialled 650b geometry combines 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 Expert is naturally stable at speed and when cornering whilst remaining agile in tight technical sections.
Suspension
The Expert floats over rocks and roots on even the most technical descents thanks to 160mm front and 165mm rear travel. Brand new is the Öhlins STX 22 single tube air shock, specially developed for Specialized. You’re getting coil shock performance in a much lighter package. There are two separate compression damping circuits so you have more control over shock performance.
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.
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/X01 11 speed drivetrain with custom SRAM carbon cranks give you all the gears you’re going to need with excellent chain retention on rough trails. SRAM Guide RS brakes are powerful with good modulation.
The Enduro rolls on quality Roval Traverse wheels with a tubeless plug system for easy tubeless setup.
