Enduro bike guide: what to know before you buy

Plenty of travel, slack geometry and still able to climb: in this guide you will learn what makes an enduro bike, how it differs from a trail bike and which model suits you.

What is an enduro bike?

An enduro bike is a full suspension mountain bike for fast, rough descents that you still pedal uphill under your own power. The name comes from racing: in enduro races only the descents are timed, the climbs you ride yourself.

Typical features are 150 to 170 mm of travel, a slack head angle for stability at speed, a dropper post and robust components. That makes it just as at home in the bike park as on Alpine tours.

What to look for when buying

Travel

The more travel, the more reserves downhill, but the more sluggish the bike becomes uphill. For tours with demanding descents 150 to 160 mm is usually enough, for bike park and racing it can be more.

Wheel size

29 inch rolls better over obstacles and offers plenty of stability. Mullet with a 27.5 inch rear makes the bike more agile and gives smaller riders more room to move.

Rear end and suspension

High pivot designs like the Jekyll and Force react particularly sensitively to impacts. Classic rear ends are lighter and more playful. Air suspension is easy to adjust to your weight.

The right frame size

Modern enduro bikes are long. You will find the manufacturer's size recommendation below the description on every product page. If you are between two sizes, just get in touch.

Frequently asked questions about enduro bikes

What is the difference between an enduro and a trail bike?

An enduro has more travel, usually 150 to 170 mm, and a slacker geometry for fast, rough descents. A trail bike with 120 to 150 mm is lighter and more versatile, especially uphill and on tours.

Can you ride an enduro uphill?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. Modern enduros have steep seat angles and suspension that barely bobs when pedalling. Uphill you are a little slower than on a trail bike, but you get up there comfortably.

What does mullet mean?

Mullet means a large 29 inch wheel up front and a smaller 27.5 inch wheel at the rear. The front rolls well over obstacles, the rear makes the bike more agile and gives you more room above the rear wheel.

Is an enduro suitable for the bike park?

Yes. Enduros are robust enough for jumps and bike park trails. If you ride almost exclusively in the bike park, a downhill bike is even better.

Which frame size do I need?

That depends on your height and inseam. You will find the manufacturer's size recommendation below the description on every product page. If you are between two sizes, our team is happy to advise you.

Can I lease an enduro?

Yes, you can also lease an enduro as a company bike through your employer. All details are on our bike leasing page.
