External, under the downtube to the chain stay is the cleanest easiest routing. On my hardtails I run my cables that way with some help from electrical and gorilla tape.

I have zero doubt that Specialized has looked at market trends and their own sales trends and decided to make the change toward what appeared to already be a near-future conclusion, in spite of who it irritated.

I'm not a Specialized fan and this makes me less if one for the same reasons, especially the proprietary shock. That plus the lack of internal routing, not a deal breaker but definitely annoying. And idk if you can swap that water bottle cage for a Fidlock, but for me that's definitely a must have. Good time to grab the previous version on discount though!

I bought a 23 Evo Pro in mixed wheel. I just put a Fox 38 170mm but with the E-Tuned for E-bikes. Im a heavy rider so I wanted this specific tune. It's freaking amazing! I'll have my re-tuned Fox X this Friday. Fox tuned it with a medium + and put a 1.0 spacer in it to make it more progressive. Im also running a WRP yoke, and a Cascade link. This modification to the rear is pretty sweet. Im really glad I got the EVO before they discontinued it. It's a do it all bike!

As someone who just wants a good trail bike without breaking the bank. The Giant Trance X1 is looking better and better. I am sure that the Specialized bike is great, it feels like it is going for more big hit bike park stuff than just a fun trail bike for my local trails, and second, the cost, some may consider a $4000 to $12000 bike is no big deal. But it is for me, I just do not have that kind of money to spend.

I'm glad the '25 model has had a good solid look at kinematics, geometry, and suspension action. Beats "bold new graphics" any day. Also like the fact that Specialized has decided that just adding another 10mm of suspension travel wasn't going to be the new sales model. They are refining travel to be more effective, even if the travel numbers get smaller. The important point is quality of travel rather than merely quantity.

Bike looks great. I still ride and love my 2016 Remedy which has 150mm/140mm travel on full 27.5" tyres, so I can only imagine that that amount of travel on updated geo with full 29" would be perfect for 90% of riders, in the UK at least. The lack of derailleur cable routing just doesn't make sense to me, hopefully they'll make an Aluminium from with that. What I really want to know though, is what are those knee pads?

This is a very impressive bike and a glimpse into the future of trickle down design language and technology for Spesh. But ultimately it doesn't matter because I'd never spend $6.k on an a bike. Not in one go, on an off the shelf build, anyway! As for no mechanical drivetrain options, I'd say I kind of get their point of view (high end bike, high end drivetrain). The kind of people who can afford this bike in the first place wouldn't mind the high replacement costs on drivetrain parts, but it would definitely be a no no for me.

Wow what a way to drop the ball by Specialized! Who wants a "Trail Bike" with XC travel but a w/ a Seat Angle of 75 degrees? That's the Epic Evo... and now converging their other actual trail bikes into one seems like a bad idea. This is a short travel enduro bike 140/160( I know its 150 but most people will spec it with 160 fork), that will work well in a variety of trails but will not be a full blown race bike and neither will it be an actual all day epic 'trail bike'. And WTF about only electronic drivetrain routing? Specialized basically said FU to Shimano.... I bet Specialized updates this model within a year, nonsense decisions here. This bike will only make sort of sense if there is a NEW ENDURO coming out; that will most likely be a 160/170 bike that pedals really well and obviously descends fast.

respectfully I was thinking the exact opposite. The choices here make 100% sense as they want more distance between the rigs and since the new EPIC is so capable they don't need a downcountry stumpy(the 140 front 130 rear I own).. this is more burly than that 21', 22' model and closer to the Evo but slightly better. I wouldn't trade an Evo for it at this price but the ideal world is that you own an Epic and the new stumpy and you can go ride anything. I don't think too many people need more than this bike provides, but for that they will release a 170/180 downhill rig. Lastly e-shifting is amazing, fully sold on the t-type. never again(mechanical)

How many trail riders truly take advantage of a 160 fork? I put a 150 on my stevo and use up nearly all the travel. The Enduro is going nowhere, they didn't really need 2 different trail bikes in their lineup. The regular Stumpy was the bike in a weird spot

@@exothermal.sprocket You have a bad mechanic. You still have to adjust AXS on installation. Mechanical adjustments don't "wander" any more than electric beyond the initial stretch/compression of housing and cable that a competent mechanic can negate easily at installation. Only time you have to adjust is if you bend something. One can be replaced for $80 instead of $390. And that's just the GX version. And one is lighter, with fewer moving parts dangling in the path of rocks.

As someone who rides a very high end bike with XT/XTR shifting, disappointed at no cable option. I've ridden the electronic stuff, it's good, but so is high quality cable. Plus the electronics are heavier. But I guess if you want light you're pigeon holes into more XC geometry.
