I am a very happy brazilian owner of an Enduro SL. This bike is the best bike I ever rode, and I am 47 years old. I`ve ridden Cannondale, Kona, Merida, Caloi, Monark, Dahon, etc…
This bike is resistant, it is amazingly light, it has lots of different controls on suspension so you can edit it to suit your personnal way of riding. You dont get tired, no matter how long you ride. It climbs wonderfully well, it descends even better. Thanks God I could by this bike, and mainly thanks to you people at Specialized for having manufactured such a MAGNIFICENT bike.

@cocheese - man, that is a very tough question. The Enduro SL was the first bike that I rode and the Yeti 575 was the last one. I was suprised at how similar the two bikes felt. Let’s see 575 weaknesses…there aren’t any?

Ha, actually in comparing the two bikes the one thing that may be intagible but stood out was that the Enduro SL felt more “stiff” and rode like a bullet bike - fast and smooth yet very responsive. The 575 was more “supple” and the ride was smooth over all terrain. If I was going to ride fast and hard most all of the time I’d grab the Enduro SL. If I was doing more technical and tough rides where speed was moderate more than “balls to the walls” the 575 would fit that style a bit better.

Does that help or just muddy the waters even more?

I know you guys loved the 08 Yeti 575 too. Either the 575 or the Enduro SL will be my next bike. Care to compare and contrast the two for strengths/weaknesses? Thanks!
