S5 Specialized Enduro has a reach of 511mm I'd say that's rather long.

My current bike, an S6 Stumpjumper Evo has a reach of 528mm, I'm looking for something in the 535-540mm range. I wish that they made the Enduro in a larger size.

What about a Pole Evolink 1.4? It has a reach of 535mm..

I didn't know that they "updated" this bike. I'll look into it. Pole makes some sick looking bikes!

They need some help in the marketing department though. This is hilariously confusing. "We also increased the bottom bracket height from -20mm to -3mm. Increasing the BB height has made the bike more maneuverable, fast, and versatile all whilst making cornering easier. The Evolink 1.4 also runs completely external cable routing for a cleaner look..."

That’s bottom bracket height in comparison wheel axle height

Sure, I figured that... But then the note about "external routing for a cleaner look". Nobody says this.
