So our enduro/XC team rider Tom Dunn was in two minds about wether to stick with his current 26 inch Specialized Enduro or change to the latest version available in 29 inch. Long story cut short, we got him a test bike and here we are, S-Works Enduro 29!
We used a mix of his old parts as well as some new to get his setup dialled and he is already really pleased. His second ride on this machine was the first gravity enduro race down at Newnham Park, which he rode to 8th/150. So its safe to say it was the right choice and will hopefully pick up some top results this year!
Check out the build below…
