What is an Enduro bike?
An Enduro bike is any dual-suspension MTB that has at least 160mm of rear wheel travel. These bikes are often paired to at least a 170mm travel fork to soak up big hits, drops, and rough, rocky descents.
They’re built with slacker steering angles. These priorituse stable, confident handling at high speeds. And the longer wheelbase delivers extra control on high speed steep, loose trails.

Who should consider an Enduro bike?
Modern enduro bikes are popular with riders who want one bike that can handle bike park laps, big mountain adventures and local trails.
Basically, any MTB trail that demands climbing but rewards you with fast, technical descents on the way back down.
You should also consider an Enduro bike if you're currently riding a Trail bike and need an upgrade. Especially if your pushing the limits of suspension travel. Simply, you're outriding your current bike.
You should consider buying an Enduro bike if you're riding a Trail bike and feel like you're pushing the limits.
This means:
- Your current suspension keeps bottoming out.
- The bike feels easily scattered and bounced around.
- The brakes don't quite pull you as well.
- The bike loses grip and slides a lot.
These are the main reasons for considering an Enduro bike.
The next reason is a little niche but definitely something we've come across:
If you've got a background in dirt bikes and a strong foundation of cardio fitness and strength.
You'll be at home on how stable these bikes are descending. And you'll have the fitness to move them around on the trail and climb steep elevations.

How does an Enduro bike feel?
Numbers aside, this is how they an Enduro bike feels and behaves on the trail:
First, Enduro bikes have more suspension than Trail bikes.
More suspension often means:
- More room for rider error. You make mistake, Enduro bike corrects the mistake.
- The ability to absorb larger impacts (bigger jumps, drops etc).
But it also means:
- These bikes are slower and harder to move around at low speeds.
- You need to be comfortable riding these bikes fast.
- Fast is where Enduro bikes unlock and come alive.
Lastly:
Enduro bikes need more effort to hold momentum and speed on rolling terrain. Fitter, stronger riders won't have an issue though.
