2020 Specialized Enduro 29 // How Does it Ride? 

you’re one of the most underrated mtb youtubers going

Such an amazing bike!! I have the Elite model, it handles like crazy, and just eats up every inch of the trail. It’s a great bike, almost downhill like. Congrats on your new bike!!!! ENJOY!! (Hats of to Specialized!!)

Those trail look dope! We love the tutorial as you're riding. Cool, calm, collective and informative! Polite trail etiquette at 7:04 most riders would have blown by the slower rider

The tool storage was open!

I have an 18 Enduro and love it! I've been eyeing that 2020 though. The Enduro does have a lot of travel for what I ride but I'm old and fat so I enjoy the extra cushion!

Awesome! I cant get over how quiet the enduro is! 👌 Very good ride mate👊

New enduro looks way better than the old style enduro imo. I never did like the previous enduro frame style.

Nice riding man! Enjoy the new rig. May just take some time to get her dialed in. But once you do..... Oh boy!!!

I think this guy is one of my faves, would love to see a collaboration with Seth and Alexander as well though

Love the color. Looks even better in person.

At the 11th hour I switched from the SC Hightower and bought the Enduro. Cheers for the reviews.

I think you made a good choice. Spec makes great bikes and you are guaranteed they’ll take care of you. YT not so much. They are cheap but the warranty isn’t there. My Tues cracked this season and when confronted for a warranty replacement they would not help me other than to offer a similar frame at a negligible discount. Wife has had technical issues they should resolve on her Jeffsy. All the rumors I’ve heard about their post purchase customer service have come true. She demoed this bike at Roam fest and loved it too.

Just bought a new 29er as well (not Specialized) yet to take it out for a proper shakedown run, but looking forward to it even more now.

“When it’s dry in the summer” 😅 Vancouver had different plans for us this year!

Hey VanCan, great riding! Hucking a lot of drops there and the bike seemed to eat up the landing n/p. Love the new enduro. nothing like the old one which was a great bike too

I was so mesmerized by the beauty of that trail, I completely forgot about the bike.

Man, those are awesome trails!

Mmmmm, a bottle cage, must be nice haha. I need to get out to those trails, they look amazing! Congrats on the new whip! Love the color.

wow! That is some trail!!! Nice job!

love you vids man keep up the good work!!!

This trail is terrifying to even watch. Holy crap!

Dude, that trail looks rad.

About the climbing difference to the YT Capra 27, I believe it might be the uping to 29 and also, not mentioned here, the DPX2 that does a good supportive job.

Should compare suspension setups between new specialized enduro(fox) vs Capra with the Rockshox. See how pressures and volume spacers differ between them and thoughts on overall tunability between brands

Nothing but the sound of freehub and nature on that bike. She is a lot more quite than my rig.

I Ordered it as well; comes for Christmas :) One thing i changed: The brakes. Dude get a pair of maguras; you will hear the wind and will enjoy the ride way more. haha. Have fun with it.

Have you started messing around with volume spacers yet?

How are you running your suspension for now. I have a Gt Force 29 Expert 2020. With the same suspension 170 up front but 150 outback. I have the fork on 75psi and 2 bottomless tokens and the shock pumped to 200 psi. Cheers from Croatia

Yet another mtn I haven't ridden yet. Glad to see/hear the new sled is treating you well!

Meeen, you are living in the nountain bike paradise😍😍😍

Geez I wish I had a trail like that here in UT, that dirt looks amazing compared to the moon dust we have a lot of the time.

that is one beast of a bike

Im coming from a capra (27.5) to this too. picking mine up tomorrow

It is a wicked looking bike

Did you cut your handlebars a bit or stock? Thanks.

Awesome video, great bike! You are a good narrator even when your butt is all puckered!

You just seem like a genuine dude who I would like to have a beer with 🤙

That bike's paint is mesmerizing

How much does the bike weigh?

How is this enduro compared to the megatower.

Nice Bike, Specialized rock. Yes they are $$$. I ride a Santa Cruz 130/120 and am looking to up grade to a longer travel and maybe carbon too. My short list is the Giant Reign, Ibis Ripmo, Santa Cruz Hightower. I was looking at the Stumpjumper too. It's down to more than likely the first 2 I believe. I live in Georgia in the SE and just north of Atlanta. My trails are hilly but the mountains are about 2 hours north of me. That's why I want more travel for the mountains. My locals trails are fine with less over all. I'm wanting 150/140 min. I would like carbon but might stay with ALM and a good build most seem to be coming with NX would prefer GX and rockshock suspension. Well my budget is 3K to maybe 3.5K which is tough to get much any more. Wish I had another 1000 to 1500 to spent but not doing it.

Burke is best...why didn't you climb up one of the lower trails? Flow and Fluid, I do it on Meta 4. Wonder if Enduro could handle it

Nice, seems quite nimble for an Enduro bike. So, I wonder how many people have ridden that log at the 7:00 mark hehe.

Try the organic trickstuff breaking pads for your Sram code. They are way quieter and make the code about 20% stronger

Thinking of going to a new enduro from a 19 stumpy evo 29......still not sure. I still haven't really found the limit of the stumpy yet (which is pretty scary for a 140 bike)

hey man you should throw a trailforks link into your descriptions on the trails you ride in the intros and stuff, would be nice for us of those actually in vancouver!

Was looking at this same bike. I'm 6'5" so I ride a big bike already.

Tell you what Nick. You ridings great. But that bike is soooo quiet!. I've never demonstrated a speccy that I didn't like yet. They know what they are doing.

nice bike footage and technical ride also!!!

Great video as always man! Will you be using the shockwiz to adjust the suspension on the new rig?

Great riding! That Enduro ate up those jumps well. I'm sure once you dial in the suspension, the ride will get better.

Awesome bike! Is there a certain RU-vidr that may have influenced the decision at all? Asking for a friend... ;)

Hii love all the content man. One of the main reason why i want to start biking! Just curious on ur opinion about getting a new or used bike for a first time MTN biker looking to get into the sport! Im in the Lower Mainland and looking for an Enduro! My friend told me to get a used and he has me second guessing as i'd love a new bike for the experience of it. Thank you :)

Did you testride the bikes?

8:33 I guess someone just got a very bad flat tyre lol

Thanks for the video, which bike climbs the best? YT Capra or specialized? I'm in doubt, thank you for the answer

At 6:25 when entering the Ridden Art trail, did the swat tool cap shake open on its own?

nice bike!

Are you enjoying the ride of the bike?

Hey, where’s this trail located?

Very stable footage and clear. What camera set up are you using on this vid? Nice bike!

What is it like on more techy climbs? Like riding i up rocks and roots at low speed...where you have to pedal?

What size did you go with and how tall are you

Hi there! I am currently on a 2017 Specialized Stumpy 29er Expert. I am 6"1' and riding the large. I am looking at the Enduro and hoping for a little more room in the cockpit and a little more help on the steeper tech runs. I am an upper intermediate rider who was been riding in earnest on the shore for only a couple years. Rode Expresso today but also ride Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton. Do you think I will notice a big difference with the Enduro and what size do you think I should go for (don't quite get the S2, 3, 4 etc.)? Cheers!

What was that large thing that flew of away from you into the distance at 4:50 very confused? Love your videos very underrated channel.

How much was it

Nice bike, but the most important question is, what have you called her?

Is this a bike that you would pedal for longer rides that have big dh rewards? How do you think it would handle tech climbing?

hi did you ride megatower?

I'm really conflicted between the Enduro and the new Capra 29er pro race version. I demo'ed the Enduro (Elite) and thoroughly loved it, however for the same price you get top of the line components on the YT. How would you rate the climbing ability of the Capra vs the Enduro? I live in the PNW which has awesome climbing trails for the most part.

So whats the verdict? I didnt hear a clear verdict. Is it worth it? I really like that bike. But i dont like 29er. I very comfortable with 27.5

Gopro footage does those steep bits no justice

Great ride, thank you for your review ! Is it in high on low settings?

So smoooth

Waiting for mine to arrive in a couple weeks (got the comp, lower price point). Could you elaborate more on the 'rock getting crushed in suspension linkage risk'? Where did you hear that? Has it happened to anyone? Spec say anything about it? Etc.

Hi thanks for the share ! Do you think you would pleased on this bike to ride long flat distances ? Yours !

Rad🤙

Hey @VanCan how do you like the Spec butcher tires that come with the bike? Keen to get your thoughts on those. Cheers

Im just new in Mountain biking, can u suggest a trail here in Vancouver for beginners like me? Thanks!😊

Were you under fire? Drooling over that paint!

You cleaned the climb up that awful gravel road to Deliverance? Wow, I end up pushing with 30/46 granny gear.

Yikes.....I hear some buyer's remorse in first full ride video 😱....you are still getting comfortable with the bike. It is a great bike, so go shred and have fun!

Are you saying there is such a thing as a dry summer in Vancouver?

Realistically how well or not does it climb? Compared to say a 140-160 travel bike like a Hightower or Stumpjumper? I’d it significantly worse? About to maybe buy the enduro but suck at climbs already with asthma and wonder if I should stick to shorter travel. Mind you weight wise enduro is same as Hightower C

Where are the actual north shore trails(or the trails you often ride in your vids?)

9:13 wtf was that noise?! was that a gunshot or a pedal strike 😂

This one or the sb150? What are your thoughts?

is it an S4 and are you 5,10"? thanks

What size Enduro did you get?

Is it as nibble as it appears in the video? Also, are you on flat pedals? Bob T.

Would you recommend someone to that particular bike?

where is this trail ? Nice full parking lot , has to be good ?

How do you like the brakes? I absolutely hate them

Is that the expert if it is can u heart this video

Is this filmed from chin mount?

Everyone talk about 29’s like they are sooo big when it’s only 1.5 inches they is a very subtle difference

Are there situations where the Capra would be better?

Hey man what’s the actual weight of the bike?

what is the weight of both bikes
