Popped the Cherry on the new Enduro
HOLY MOTHER OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, how did I ride before? A Univega?
I broke in the new bike today. We did an unmentionable trail that I would have never attempted on my old bike. What a difference a decade makes to technology. I can't wait to take it down Porqupine this fall.
Anyway, I'm ready to ride so post up the Tuesday nighters.

welcome to a whole new world of riding - now, the same trails will NOT be the same!

Sweet! What year/frame design did you get? Isn't it amazing the difference it makes with a quality frame/components, and fork?
Congrats - there's nothing like the feeling of a brand new bike :) Well, almost nothing.

Looks nice, I have been looking at the carbon version of this bike, I have narrowed it down between a few but I may be leaning toward the carbon enduro. I need to see a little more feedback before I make the choice.
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

Mtbr's Specialized forum has a ton of threads about reviews on the new SL's.. check it out if you haven't already.
The only thing I'm leery about on this bike is, how do you think it would perform somewhere like Deer Valley? Can a 28 lb Downhill bike (that'd be the carbon frame) hold up in the rough stuff? If it does, props to the Big S. She's a sweet looking ride.
Shling- any pics yet?

I would like to see any 28 lb bike try to hold up to the Deer Valley trails. It would have to be a 100 lb rider. Carbon fiber is great as long as it doesn't get scratched. Most downhill style bikes get laid down or launched a few times during their lifetime on a downhill type trail or race course.

Here it is the day I bought it. Only thing different from this pic to now is a few scratches on the handlebars and the original pedals are gone, along with the reflectors.

That's the first thing I took of MY T PIMP's bike for him.

Me- Ya gotta take these off, man.
MTP - but what if I'm riding in the street at night?
Me- then you should be asking yourself why you're not on a trail.
