Specialized Enduro Expert — Size S3 (2022) Carbon Full Suspension Mountain Bike · 170mm Travel The Enduro Expert is built for aggressive descending and technical terrain, featuring a carbon frame platform designed for stability at speed and confidence on steep lines. This S3 (Medium) size setup delivers modern long-travel geometry paired with durable components ready for real trail use. Suspension duties are handled by a RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork (170mm) and RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock (170mm), providing plush control and big-hit capability. The drivetrain combines SRAM GX/X01 Eagle 12-speed components with X01 carbon 175mm cranks, a 32T chainring, and 10–52 cassette for wide climbing range. Stopping power comes from 4-piston hydraulic SAINE brakes, matched with Maxxis DHF/DHR 29×2.5 tires on Roval Traverse alloy wheels with DT 350 hubs. A dropper seatpost, Race Face Turbine bars, and 35mm Race Face stem round out a trail-ready cockpit.

The carbon chassis, proven Lyrik/Super Deluxe combo, and Eagle gearing make it confident on demanding descents while still pedalable on long days. It’s a solid, no-nonsense platform that’s ready to ride hard right away.
