Vital's 2023 Enduro MTB Test Session

[@rubenvor]

Impressive how the Specialized Enduro is still up to date against newer bikes. Well designed bike! 🎯

[@LB-kg2xh]

2022 comp is on sale for 3800. not many people need more performance than that. I love mine, from dowhill parks to hillside flow trails in AK.

@@LB-kg2xh 3800!!! that's nice for such a bike. I just bought a used enduro frame on PB for 1400, I guess I should have waited.

[@lifebehindbarsonemansstory2189]

Bought mine 2021 still going strong over 4,000 hard miles if your racing that bike is fast af

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Except it’s a Specialized bike. Nothing wrong with the bike, but everyone and their Mom has one. So if you’re someone like me, who likes to be different, we tend to stay away from big name brands.

[@the510wagon]

This was such a great review & video for me! I'm 191 cms and about 100-105 kgs kitted-up to ride....so to have these talented guys test all-XL bikes, and then talk about bikes in the context of a taller rider, was a bit of a dream. Bike reviews never really talk about XL bikes & riders. Stack height & reach are such a big deal for us tall guys. And the chosen field of bikes was a really good mix of the new designs with high pivots.... and the tried & tested frames. I also appreciate the honesty about some of the things that were not so good - too many reviews are just glowingly positive. Thank you Vital, this one was fantastic.

[@Composit.Design]

Same here - 100kgs and 6'2" and I have a real issue with most trail bikes making me feel super hunched over. This was a dream come true.

[@archiebromfield]

It's so nice to see XL bikes being reviewed! It's hard to find anywhere to get an opinion on XL sized bikes and how they ride or fit. Sick!

[@superawesomefuntimego]

I've been running the Canyon Strive CFR for a few months now and have been blown away with how good it is. Lucked out and nabbed one on sale for $4199, which was nuts for full XTR and Fox Factory kit. Previously had a Propain Tyee and Evil Wreckoning and I feel more at home on the Strive. I am 5'10" and generally ride a Large, but sized down to the M with the strive and it was the right choice, as the bike is LONG. It can get reasonably light as well replacing the heavy alloy bar and wheels with carbon bits (OneUp bar and i9 carbon wheels), it got down to 33.5lbs (without pedals). I also replaced the dropper with a 200mm wolf tooth, as 170mm is not enough. The shapeshifter is slick, although I have accidentally left it engaged on some a fast and rooty tech trail and paid the price (physical beat down), the rear for sure is stiff in that setting (although I funnily enough set a PR). The Deviate for sure looks good to me, but that price tag....ouch.

[@BenSch100]

How is the durability of the bike? Any headset creaking or broken parts?

[@superawesomefuntimego]

@@BenSch100 No issues to date, bike has been rock solid other than me breaking a spoke. No bolts have even worked loose in my about 500 miles of riding so far (I check before every ride). I did get a little weird behavior with the shapeshifter at first before I got the pressure set correctly for my weight, but it has been problem free since.

[@Wizler71]

Thanks for discussing "size up vs size down". At 5' 10" it's been a confusing issue for me as I consider a new bike in M/L. Depends on the brand or the model or my style or the intended terrain... sheesh! It's a great reminder to test ride any bike I'm serious about buying.

[@Bonky-wonky]

This. The same reach can feel quite different on multiple bikes.

[@brian6speed]

If you ride more tight technical trails and focus on cornering you can size down. If you ride fast downhill tracks and want more stability size up. Not that hard to figure out.

[@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862]

Totally agree bro I Need a medium/large bike with short cranks and low standover ✅

[@SubversionGarage]

If you know what length reach you prefer, then start there. I am also 5’10”, and normally prefer a mid 400mm reach. After trying a few different models in the 450-475mm range, ended up with an S4 Stumpy Evo.

[@inseinej1]

Honestly even demoing you're not going to be able to tell awhole lot.

[@userbosco]

The Trek's chain drop seems to be a legit deficiency. Other reviewers are experiencing the same issue. Shame.

[@erraldstyler]

yeah, its now out for me.

[@Cajo22]

Congrats guys! 👏 Bike tests&reviews are getting better and better! Simple and honest opinions…the opposite of Pinkbike that are getting worst, elitist and boring, specially since Levy left and that english guy arrived!! Keep it going…

[@robertnijhuis4218]

To address the deviates linkage longevity concerns, the bikes made to be ridden in Scotland. A few friends of mine have it up in Scotland, the linkage is make to be greases and has loads of protection for the bearings. He’s been running the same bearings for over a year now 🤙

[@richardkovanda7578]

Good to hear you mostly chose Mega, that's exactly why I built one for 3,5 grand back in July and it's fenomenal bike and bargain!

[@ccallure]

Great video guys! Love the format and feedback from experienced riders. I learned a lot.

[@bicycledreams7078]

The thing about sizing down is then the stack is even lower, and you guys were complaining the stack was too low on all but one of the XL bikes already. Then to compensate you have to run a super long steer tube, which shortens the reach even more than you probably want. Give us more 480mm reach XL bikes.

[@charliesponsel5091]

🎯Yup, or really tall weird looking handlebars. It's weird out there for tall guys trying to fit on bikes. I take comfort in knowing that other industries are also awful and catering to bigger and smaller customers (like the car industry, which is a much, much, much bigger industry).

[@syblackpearl]

Thanks Charlie! Great analysis of the enduro bikes that you guys tested.

[@Coolcmsc]

Thanks for this! It’s a shame you are unable to have the correct size for each of you. It makes it really hard to work out exactly what you guys think. But honesty must come first and you were honest. I’m being honest too. 😊

[@kaseykohler1490]

I swear the new sram clutch is still not strong enough. I put the new transmission on my bike and the chain slaps against the derailleur body constantly. Shimano still makes a better clutch system as you can dial it in and rebuild it! Wireless is nice but it’s got me thinking of going back to cables

[@JonnySimonetti]

We think that mightve been the reason for the dropped chain, curious if a Shimano clutch would do better or maybe a larger chainring for more chain wrap.

[@BenSch100]

Great comprehensive test! Funny that you would size down on most bikes! Nice shredding! 🤟

[@topspot4834]

Probably cause they're planning on throwing it around more since it's an enduro, and it's easier to make a smaller bike feel bigger than vice versa.

[@AndreasHafenscher]

Thanx. That video helps a lot. I’ll buy the Rode. Thanks

[@angelfalcon2452]

Im about buying the canyon but im 2m and idk if it is too small for me 😅😅

[@nickfragedakis5511]

I love that Nukeproof pre-wraps their bikes. I don't know why this isn't an Industry standard. Every company should do this. When spending $5K minimum on a bike anyone would want it protected.

[@JonnySimonetti]

Such an underrated detail they really did a good job with. Would love to see more companies do the same rather than the usual bits of coverage here and there.

[@Eric.V.]

That rear end on the Intense 😮😳

[@jordanmackay3568]

Currently on a kenevo SL S4 at 6ft 2. I feel like 485 reach just isn't enough for me so I'm getting an S5. 35mm stem and 40mm rise bars plus I'm going to bump up the front tavel to 180 to match the over stroked rear. Race bike for next year

[@ernst_42]

could you find out the reason for the chaindrop? did you find a fix for it?

[@charliesponsel5091]

We had such a limited time during our test we weren't able to get too into the weeds sleuthing possible causes or solutions, but I'd love to know myself. According to Trek, derailments can be due to the lower guide wheel being out of alignment from the factory and adding a 2mm spacer to the ISCG tabs can fix it. We weren't aware of that possible remedy during the test so we can't say if that fix works, but it'd be great if it did. Kinda crazy to be dropping chains with so many chain retention doodads involved (narrow/wide ring, two chainguides, clutch derailleur, idlers to correct chain growth, etc). We also think the clutch on the AXS Transmission derailleur was basically gone by the end of the test, which obviously isn't ideal for chain retention.

[@preston5577]

Curious as to what pants you guys are wearing? I’m also 6’3 and struggle to find pants that cover the ankles for mtb

[@JonnySimonetti]

Two of us were wearing the Fox Ranger pants, Lear was wearing Rennen I believe. Another great option are the Troy Lee Skyline pants, they have a little more length than the Fox.

[@waynephilbert]

Dharco make long pants, and you can get extensions to sew onto the legs if required. I'm 34+" inseam and they fit very well.

[@Mavo1989]

its the ohlins suspension, really needed to have a commencal in this mix with there new enduro

[@jameswhiteley3095]

@vitalMTB Can you give me the height and weight of the riders. Do they usually ride XL bikes?

[@1brenmaster]

You haven't lived until you try a Mega paired with the fast coil. Trek definitely have chain problems with that bike.

[@jimrose470]

Really like the video and commentary, one suggestion is to ease up on the slow Mo. It would be nice for reference to see what some of these shots and clips look like in real time, not just all in slow mo.

[@elslanedog1264]

Lewis Buchanan got rid of his Slash after two weeks because he couldn’t get the chain to stay on. Seems like a systemic problem and not just a one off. Serious QC oversight in trying to rush the bike out and damaging the reputation of what was one of the best enduro bikes available. Could we even see a product recall in the near future?

[@JonnySimonetti]

We tried adding more chain tension like Lewis did to try and solve the problem with no luck. We’ve been told that the incorrect number of spacers were installed from the factory behind the MRP chainguide. We didnt have time to try it during the test but an additional 2mm of spacing from the iscg tabs seems to be the solution. Hopefully thats an easy and effective long term solution for those who have already bought one!

[@travelpackgamerz]

[@krabo83]

the mega has 160 in the rear according to nukeproof.

[@tomnutting3836]

Mega 290s have 160mm 275/297 and you get 165mm

[@charliesponsel5091]

Yup our bad, Jonny said 170 in the voiceover but we corrected in the video by noting the 160mm travel in a text box. With 6 bikes on test and different travel numbers for different models in the manufacter's lineup, it's a lot of stats to keep track of!

[@nomadcarpenter8549]

Apparently, it comes in at 162mm when measured

[@hannesnohl8627]

Why is there a factory shock on your Canyon?

[@charliesponsel5091]

Great question. The short answer is that's what Canyon shipped us. It's confusing because in the voice over Jonny says the bike has a Performance Elite shock (which is an all black shock), but in the video clip the bike clearly has the Factory shock with a Kashima shaft. The complete bike from Canyon really does come stock with the all black Performance Elite shock, but because the only difference between those two shocks is the color of the shaft, we didn't worry about it too much in our review. If you buy the bike, I believe it will arrive with an all black Performance Elite shock, and that was the point Jonny was trying to emphasize.

[@JonnySimonetti]

I think it had to do with the recent update Fox put out for the Float X2 to correct the reliability issues theyve been having. Canyon either threw an updated shock on for us so we wouldnt have any issues, or they swapped their inventory for updated shocks and received Factory shocks in return.

[@wallyedmonds8199]

I’m leaning towards the Canyon

[@michaelgoodwin593]

@@Michael_11 Big deal, the anti squat is so good the seat angle is irrelevant. Whole point is it set the standard for all bikes in the last 4 years or so and its still relevant now. Probably still will be in another 4 years.

[@charliesponsel5091]

Great question! Short answer: that's what Specialized shipped us. We specifically asked them if they had a newer/later/greater bike like the Stumpy Evo that they'd like us to test instead, but they said the Enduro is their 170mm bike and it's still a solid bike 3 years later and we tended to agree. We can't wait to get our hands on the new under-the-bb Enduro that's rumored to be coming out sometime, but until then this bike is what Specialized has in this travel bracket. Some of our testers didn't like the slack seat angle, I happened to like it.

[@Michael_11]

@@charliesponsel5091 Thanks for the answer but why not go to a different brand when Specialized don't have anything new to offer and plenty of others do.

[@bubbastard]

The new Slash is a lemon, they all drop chains, every single ride. Pretty poor product development from Trek, do better.

[@dgw6448]

I feel like this can be fixed pretty easily. It's a failure in a small accessory to the bike. Like saying a faulty dropper post makes a whole bike a lemon. I think they'll resolve it & everything will be fine

[@bubbastard]

Maybe, still Trek should never allowed this bike out the door to consumers as it is. That's very damning in my eyes, but not that surprising. Treks had a lot of poor bikes over the years.

Vital MTB, I know its too much to ask, but there is a lot of Urban rider out there. When i used to live in Algeria, there were no bike parks. And any bike we bought used to break very fast under urban environments. It would be cool if you could review which bikes perform best jumping stairs, flat drops constantly… Thanks.

[@g.wilsondh8407]

Great reviews, I enjoyed every second of this video

[@jamlee344]

You need to size down on the Strive. Their sizing is whack. I feel they should have made an XS instead of an XL. It's sick in the medium (large other brands) but i feel the front center would be too long on the xl which is what you were describing. The bike is insane for the money.

[@charliesponsel5091]

I agree, based on our experience on the bike I think it's a pretty safe rule to size down one size from what the Canyon sizing chart recommends, i.e. think of the XL as an XXL, think of the large as an XL, etc. I think Jack Moir sized down two sizes when he got on the current Strive in 2022.

[@BasicBodThor]

Trek has a serious issue with the chain dropping...this is the third channel I've heard that from

[@BryanHoefer]

It seems like the Trek dropping chains is showing up in more and more ride reviews. I'd guess the chain is coming off between the idler and chainring.

[@charliesponsel5091]

It'd be interesting to investigate this more. Maybe a gopro mounted to the bike or a high speed camera to see what exactly is happening when the chain is coming off. According to Trek, derailments can be due to the lower guide wheel being out of alignment from the factory and adding a 2mm spacer to the ISCG tabs can fix it. We weren't aware of that possible remedy during the test so we can't say if that fix works, but it'd be great if it did. Kinda crazy to be dropping chains with so many chain retention doodads involved (narrow/wide ring, two chainguides, clutch derailleur, idlers to correct chain growth, etc).

[@BryanHoefer]

@charliesponsel5091 A lot of the high pivot DH bikes have a surprising amount of chain slack between the idler and the chainring as the suspension compresses. It's easy to see on the Vital slow motion bike abuse videos from the World Cup. I'm assuming something similar is happening here. If there is any misalignment between the idler and the chainring + slack chain = dropped chain. If the chain comes off between the idler and chainring, the tensioner pulley behind the chainring can't do anything.

[@charliesponsel5091]

Jonny liked the S5. I think in terms of sizing, Jonny liked longer reaches, I liked shorter ones, and Lear was in the middle. I also think Lear was oversprung on the shock when he was riding the Enduro, but he disagrees. Obviously I'm right.

[@alexford5214]

I see the Sprindex coils in use. Ive found mine to have very little difference between 610-690. Was hoping for more variance

[@alexkachlakev7324]

Question for @charliesponsel5091 …could you expand on the comment you made about being able to get an air spring to behave more linearly than a coil? Seems counterintuitive but the robot seems to know suspension well!

[@charliesponsel5091]

Great question. Because air shocks are so inherently progressive, there are air shocks that have been designed with the singleminded goal of making them more linear, to the point that some air shocks almost feel less progressive than a coil shock. The Float X2, the old RS Vivid, and (I think) the new Vivid are great examples of this. Especially on the Float X2 or the old RS Monarch Debonair where you're able to add volume reducers to the negative spring as well as the positive spring, you can make an air shock more linear by adding volume reducers to the negative spring and taking them out of the positive chamber. This will allow you to run very low pressures while achieving the same sag and top end feel, while giving you essentially no bottom out resistance. So that's one potential way to overcome the effects of a frame that's "too progressive." Hope that makes sense.

[@alexkachlakev7324]

That’s actually really interesting! I didn’t think there was a way to make a shock’s air spring digressive, since like you said, compressing air is an inherently progressive process. So would that partially be down to the ratio of positive to negative air volume that is affecting how linear an air spring is/feels?

[@mirkorinozuzuri]

I rate the intense tracer! I have owned once since they were released with the ohlins coil at the back. Extremely fun. I race occasionally but otherwise just like those progression days looking for gnarly features. I guess it's not the smoothest at high speed compressions but I don't think it's completely out of place. What it lacks in the compartment it excels in generating speed and playing around on fun side features you might find on the trail. Super low stand over height too. I've got tiny legs and was able to accommodate 175mm drop (adjustable post from 180mm) on size MD which I was quite surprised with :). Pedals well enough too!

[@cberg9480]

Love these compassion videosz

Funny that every time a reviewer brings up the Slash chain dropping issue, they try to balance it out with “but it’s my fav bike”. Dropping chains is worse than headset routing, small dropper, weird bars and stem, etc.

I think it's safe to say a used Specialized Enduro is the weapon of choice for a privateer on a budget. Years later it's still holding up every time it gets re-reviewed.

​@@pebbleinspectorbeen riding LTD since 2020 no cracks if you service her!

I'm about to trade my all mountain bike for a used enduro - fingers crossed it treats me well

[@LCNismo]

The Walmart brand just like the trek. Both are crap and I don’t understand why people buy used? Broke people problems

Yeah that's very true. I love to hate Specialized, but results....and dozens of positive reviews don't lie. It's obviously a very, very well designed bike. (stack height is crazy low though...)
