    Very nice bike. I could not live with the hydraulic actuator on the seatpost. One crash and you could snap off the hose and have it fixed for the rest of the day. But that‘s the problem if you are a SRAM rider and you have to use everything from them. The new Specialized kind off.

      Actually quite normal for enduro race bikes, they typically run DH casings. A little extra weight is better than cutting a sidewall on rocks during an enduro race.
