Specialized FSRxc Comp Review

The Specialized FSRxc Comp is a great value for the weekend warrior. The FSRxc can take anything you throw at it. The bikes sturdy front and rear shocks and great brakes, make this bike a great climber. If your looking for a great full suspension bike that doesn't put you in the poor house then this is it. Its handles fast, it climbs, it has decent components and looks great. You really can't go wrong with the Specialized FSRxc Comp. No bells and whistles or gimmicks. Just a good full suspension mountain bike.

Features:
# FSR M4 butted frame w/ ORE downtube, sealed cartridge bearing pivots and 100mm travel
# X Fusion 02RLA rear shock, Specialized tuned, rebound/compression adjust w/ LO, 7.0x1.6", 4 bearing lower shock mount
# RockShox Tora 302 SL fork, 100mm travel, 32mm Cr-Mo stanchions, alloy steerer
# Hayes Stroker Ryde, hydraulic disc brakes
# 1.8mm (15g) stainless spokes, black, alloy nipples
# Specialized The Captain sport tires, 26x2.0", 60TPI, wire bead.

After shopping around for bikes in this price range I felt that you got the most bang for your buck with the Specialized FSRxc Comp. After coming off of a hardtail, I felt all the differences of full suspension. The disc brakes also have excellent stopping power. If you are in the market for a bike around the $1500 price range check out the Specialized FSRxc Comp.

Specialized S-Works Enduro Review

The Specialized S-Works Enduro is exactly what Specialized intended - the go everywhere, do everything (within reason) bike. This is the best "do everything" bike you can get! The Specialized S-Works Enduro is the most versatile mountain bike I have ever ridden. It is a bit heavier than my XC bike but it still climbs extremely well and is perfect for those all day rides. The S-works Enduro can handle just about any downhill work you can throw at it. Unlike most downhill bikes the Specialized Enduro is light enough to be ridden uphill and is super flickable on jumps and freeride stunts. It's smooth ride gives you the confidence you need to take on and tackle the bigger stunts. This is not a huck or big air mountain bike although 4' to 6' drops with a transition landing can be done without problems. I would highly recommend the Specialized S-Works Enduro to anyone looking for the perfect all around mountain bike.

Features:

# S-Works Enduro FACT 10M carbon main triangle, Az1 construction, M5 rear triangle, full cartridge bearing pivots, 150mm travel
# Specialized AFR Shock w/ Spike valve adjustment
# Specialized Future Shock e150 SL, dual crown w/ intergrated stem, Ti hardware, 150mm, external rebound, compression adjust
# 25mm thru axle, alloy steerer
# Avid Juicy Ultimate, hydraulic disc brakes
# Roval Traversée Trail, disc Wheelset

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Review

The Specialized Stumpjumper FSR is a great bike with awesome geometry and is a great climber and is light, lean and acurate. The Stumpjumper offer a cush ride that soaks up bumps and feels great even after a long day's ride. The Stumpjumper FSR is a great all around full suspension mountain bike. I don't recommend it for downhillers but this is more of an all mountain, free-ride, cross country bike. The harder you ride the stumpy, the more it likes it! The Fox Float RL fork and the Fox Triad rear shock both have lock out, but the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR is so efficient you don't need to lock them out when climbing.

# FSR M5 manipulated alloy frame w/ Transform monocoque TT, Spinal Tech 1pc forged BB, seat tube, and seat bridge
# Fox Triad, custom on-the-fly 3-position switch
# Fox Float 120 RL fork
# Specialized adjustable rise stem
# SRAM X-9, 9-speed rear derailleur
# DT custom for Specialized X420 rims

Overall the Stumpjumper is a well made bike with good components and is fun to ride, looks good and Specialized is a quality company with frame warranty.
