And in a relatively short amount of time, it established a new standard of rider expectations for what a trail bike should be. Fast-forward 10 years, and you\u2019re looking at a bike with a trophy case that would make anyone jealous. Today, the all-new Enduro does it all, from steep, root-laden climbs to white-knuckle descents, taking it all in stride.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-91900500-1471113909.jpg\" data-fileid=\"780992\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"780992\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-91900500-1471113909.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-91900500-1471113909.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-full aspect-video\">\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DeVjt2c7Yyw?feature=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">Features:<\/h2>\n<p>There are three things that contribute to making this bike our best all-around trail bike to date:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:decimal;\">\n<li>Confident Handling\n<\/li>\n<li>Utility\n<\/li>\n<li>Robust Construction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We pioneered the \u201cmodern\u201d trail geometry by adding lower bottom bracket heights, slacker head angles, and some of the shortest chainstays in the industry.
