Average price for Enduro bikes
If you want to purchase a solid Enduro bike, it is important to know that the average cost is 3599$.

CLASH RACE components
Fork
The fork installed on this bike is the RockShox ZEB Ultimate model. The travel on this model is 180mm. Bike forks are great for shock absorption and provide you with a smooth ride. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Rear Shock
The CLASH RACE has a rear shock with a travel of 170mm. The model ROCKSHOX SuperDeluxe Ultimate is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks are a great way to increase comfort on the bike and give you more control when riding on technical trails. In short, a full-suspension bike will give you the smoothest ride possible.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the CLASH RACE bike is equipped with the 29″ aluminum model. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Commençal CLASH RACE has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for mountain biking, road cycling, and commuting. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
This bike is available in 4 sizes. They vary from 158 cm – 199 cm (5.18 ft – 6.53 ft). In short, it won’t be difficult to find the right one for you.
Dropper post
Every bike should have a dropper post, and this one does. If used correctly, a dropper post gives you more faith, maneuverability, and greater control over your bike.
