just got a like new new(less than 50mi) 02 'duro Xpert from my local MTB club. This bike is very fast down steep, semi-technical single trak and climbs preatty well for a FS bike. 130mm/130mm travel in long setting, 100/100 in short travel setting. The fox shock/manitou fork work well together and help smooth out the trail. XTR rear der. is always nice, so are shimano 525 hydro disk. bike is under 30lbs which is always nice for a FS. Should be able to handle most aggressive XC type riders. 1star lost due to not being able to adjust fork travel on the fly.

First things first, to describe my riding style: I guess you can call it aggressive cross-country. I enjoy the drops and hits more than the climbs, but that’s not to say I don’t mind the challenge of a good climb. That said, I Just switched from a hard tail and I love the new ride. My Endure gives me little reason to break on the bumpy descents and gives me added confidence on all facets of riding. I have no major complaints as of yet.

Geometry if bogus for aggressive/freeride type bike, get a Kona instead, also bent the swingarm first week I had it, and stem came loose after every hard ride??? Rock Shox Psylo not the tough either. . .
