Specialized S-Works Enduro Mountain Bike Frame 2022

Specialized S-Works Enduro Mountain Bike Frame 2022

The Specialized S-Works Enduro Mountain Bike Frame is made from super light but strong FACT 11m carbon and builds into a burly, versatile and fast trail bike that can handle even the most severe riding scenarios with consummate ease. Torsionally stiff, the frame elicits stunning pedalling responsiveness and steering accuracy when ascending challenging climbs or bombing down steep descents.

The frame’s rear suspension format integrates a refined axle path, progressive leverage curve and possesses excellent anti-squat characteristics to maximise control over washboard-like terrain, heighten bottom-out resistance over the biggest hits and prevent energy sapping bob. These traits combine with a FOX FLOAT X2 Factory, Rx Trail Tune rear damping unit with 170mm of travel to increase comfort, traction and control over rocks, roots and ruts. This damping unit is positioned as low as possible within the design to promote a more planted feel at higher riding speeds.

Geometry with a longer reach and slacker head and steeper seat angles improves the rider’s balance and places them in a more efficient pedalling position. Additionally, this geometry can be fine-tuned in line with the trail conditions ahead by reversing the flip chips situated in the rear shock mount. 

Highlights

• A rugged frame that builds into a versatile, high-performance trail bike
• The FACT 11m carbon composition is lightweight and strong
• The balanced rigidity heightens steering precision and increases responsiveness
• A plush FOX FLOAT X2 Factory, Rx Trail Tune rear damping unit with 170mm of travel is integrated into the frame
• The rear suspension design places the shock as low as possible to afford a planted feel at high speeds
• Excellent anti-squat characteristics mean the rear suspension guarantees excellent pedalling efficiency
• The rear suspension’s more rearward axle path better handles big impacts, affording more momentum and control
• The progressive leverage curve of the rear suspension increases suppleness over ripples and prevents it from bottoming-out
• The geometry has a slacker head angle, long reach, and steeper seat tube to make the ride even more capable
• The ride and geometry can be subtly altered by running the flip chips in the rear shock mount in the high or low position
