Is that your pitch in profile. I would say buy the same size if thats yours. I tend to like bikes on the smaller side so it comes down to personal prefrence partally. The one thing is to make sure the seatpost will be long enough so you can get into the righ position on the bike.

be careful with Specialized's sizing - its kinda screwy

their bikes tend to have long "front centres" (bottom bracket centre to fork axle centre) which means a medium could be a great fit, as long as you have adequate seatpost extension

its SO critical to actually find a good SBC dealer and try both the medium and large before you buy, as the fitting depends on your height, leg length, torso and arm lengths, setup and personal preference

Well yes, that is my Pitch comp M on my avatar.As far as i know a pitch is a bit longer than enduro.The only problem with M(which wasnt a big one) was uphilll riding.It was a little short.On L enduro i could toss a shorter stem

if you ride a medium pitch, You would like a large Enduro.

Hey guys I'm 5'6" and looking to get an enduro. I've rode a medium but it seems to big but my dad says a small would be to small

i have an Specialized enduro from 2010, i'm 6'3", i could ride a Large and XL. I choose the XL because i went of the stores recommendation and I've regretted it every day. It feels way to big and i have a hard time moving the bike underneath me sometimes. Go with the small!

A general rule of thumb I go with if your in between sizes on bikes, go smaller on xc/am bikes and larger on DH bikes cause you'll always have loads of stand over on a dh bike and the other extra length helps stability and keeps you central on the DH bike.
