Enduro bikes average price
If you want an acceptable Enduro bike you should know that the average price is 3599$. However, even though the average price of an Enduro bike is lower, you might still be able to get a top-quality bike. In conclusion, always check bike reviews and their components before making a purchase to make sure you don’t overpay.

Overview of components
Fork
The RockShox Pike RC is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 160mm. Bike forks absorb the shocks and give you a smooth and pleasant ride. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Rear Shock
The Enduro Elite 29 has a rear shock with a travel of 155mm. The model Custom RockShox Monarch Plus is the one installed in this bike. Bike rear shocks increase the riding comfort, and also give you more control over technical trails. In conclusion, to increase your riding experience, get a bike with a rear shock if possible.
Wheels size
When leaving the production line, the Enduro Elite 29 model has 29″ aluminum wheels. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, 29″ wheels will make your bike react slower to obstacles you may encounter.
Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The Enduro Elite 29 has Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In conclusion, double-check its size to make sure it’s a good fit for you.
Dropper post
Specialized Enduro Elite 29 includes a dropper post. A dropper post is a must-have these days if you’re riding anything remotely technical. The main benefit of a dropper post is increased safety while riding. As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
