At the end of the day, mountain biking is a hobby for 99% of people, and a great many people cannot afford something like Bobo's (from the channel BikingWithBobo) fifth (I think) degree shoulder separation.

    So the question is: if you were to do it all over, would you buy the specialized Enduro again?
    I’ve been seriously considering this bike. My hesitation is that there are some pretty good climbs where I ride, but I also hear the bike pedals really efficiently. I also wondered if it was a little too much bike that only wants to go straight, but you make it look pretty snappy on the jump section of this video.
