Looking to replace my all mountain bike.

Heap of brands I like but deep down I've always wanted to own a specialised enduro.

Elite 650b Alumium looks fantastic. Is it a serious go to bike, easy climber and ultimately awesome fun ?

I own a 2012 Enduro with a pretty aggressive build.

I love it as a do it all bike. I feel completely comfortable riding lift accessed DH like Northstar. But at the same time the majority of my riding is XC/ AM and it performs pretty well when pointed uphill. I've checked out the specs of the Elite 650B, and the build looks really good for a go to bike. Especially with that lighter build (compared to mine) you'll see better climbing performance.

The Pike fork is excellent on the Elite 650B, and my friend who owns a 2010 Enduro w/ a Pike can attest to that. It can handle DH.

The feel of the ride is great, when you point it downhill it just comes alive. Climbing is good too

Nice one riggadon- I am going to check this model out when I get back to Ireland next month.
