Anybody have a 06 Specialized Enduro?

[Doug Jordan]

I am considereing buying a 06 Specialized Enduro and would like to know the
group's opinion on the bikes.

It's not exactly light. I rode one. I could tell it was a little porky.
(Enduro Pro) But it does have 6" of travel. I would go for the Yeti 575.
That is my next ride.

It's well within the lightweight aggressive XC category... what were you
expecting, a 20-lb fully?

Hell Yeah. For 4500 bones I was expecting great taste, and less filling.
My Pig-Hit is 39 pounds (really) with a Jr. T on the front. The enduro was
32 pounds. The Enduro is built well for sure. I don't think they will see
many broken frames. Frame weight alone is nearly what my big hit frame
weighs. Have you seen what the Enduro SX weighs? WOW. Your right though.
This is an aggressive bike. A 575 (along the lines of 28lbs.) is more up
my ally. I don't need a hucking bike. My current Enduro has served well
so far.

I am going to be doing light freeride ( 6 ft drops or less), jumps and
singletrack. I weigh 210 lbs so I am not a weight weenie. I believe the
Yeti ASX is more comparable isn't it?
