I have Specialized enduro for the pass 6 years (3 different models) and I never had any issues with the cables routing - and believe me I manage to destroy other parts on the bike, so I would not worry about it if I were you. BTW this is really a dream bike for me, but the fact the the shock is a proprietary shock (the link make it attached in such a way that you cannot replace it) is the biggest issue with this, otherwise amazing bike - and thanks pinkbike for at last testing this kind of bike and not another middle of the road trail bike - please test more bikes like this one.

Exclusive First Ride: Intense 951 Evo – 650B DH Racer

there is no larger contact patch or lower center of gravity unless you live in other universe where math and physic we learn in school do not apply - but don't let this distract you from buying any advertising none sense. If this was the case other industriousness would have embrace the bigger diameter idea long ago

Exclusive First Ride: Intense 951 Evo – 650B DH Racer

they made tone of changes to the bike and the out of all those changes the only thing that make this bike so great is the wheel outer diameter? looking the picture at the top the difference between the 26 and the 27.5 This writer is trying very hard to push the idea of bigger is better, I cannot find anything wrong with what we have right now regarding wheel size, personally I don't think I would ever be even remotely as fast as the top DH riders so why should I care about whether I can ride 0.002 millisecond faster (or maybe not - as it turn out that they couldn't come up with numbers to show us that it is any faster). BTW really nice looking bike..

Pinkbike Poll - Should the UCI Restrict DH Racing to 26-Inch Wheels?

they don't - they are riding what they are told - its their job to promote a product not to ride whatever they like!

Pinkbike Poll - Should the UCI Restrict DH Racing to 26-Inch Wheels?

Actually it is a great innovation - it's just a new way to make our bikes "obsolete" by not making or "old" standard any more, so that we MUST switch to the next "great thing". And BTW if anyone think that they wouldn't have to switch they are wrong - this is just in link the moto industry that when even after the 2 stroke were still wining they force there top riders to switch to the lame 4 stroke and stop producing s stroke - only to discover that it is so expensive that they have hard time finding someone who would actually buy it. bigger wheels are not innovation, innovation is replacing the few left over we have from road cycling such as the derailleur or give us low stand over frame with slack HA not only in downhill bikes?

Santa Cruz Bronson - 650B Enduro Racer in Carbon and Aluminum

prices are not derived from the R&D (which is this case is about 0) or how much it is to manufacture them (which is way less than 1000$ in this case) - it only derived from this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve most people are willing to pay more than 100$ for a per of snickers with the right brand name while it only 5$ to make and market them. BTW the amount of R&D put into MX bike clutch is more than all the R&D Santa Cruz putting for all their bikes combined but again this would not be reflected in the price anyway
