If you’re looking for a bike that’s agile on big, nasty descents and holds its own on long, arduous climbs, look no further than the Enduro FSR Elite 650b. Its frame features a M5 aluminum construction that’s built off our 650b Geometry. Along these lines, the frame gets a roomy top tube, the shortest possible chainstays, a low bottom bracket, and a slacker head tube than what’s found on the 29-all to perfectly blend climbing and descending characteristics together. This Enduro also includes plenty of travel, 160mm at the front and 165mm at the rear, in order to increase control over small bumps and big hits alike. At the build kit, we spec’d for reliable performance, including a RockShox Pike RC 29 fork and a custom Monarch Plus for a supremely plush suspension setup, a one-by SRAM X1 drivetrain with a wide range of gears, and a Command Post IRcc dropper with up to 10 middle positions. Altogether, this Enduro is agile, eager, and ready to dominate the entire mountain.
