All builds
Fork, shock, shock size (eye-to-eye length × stroke) and rear travel, weight and price according to the manufacturer. Wheel size: 29.
| Build | Fork | Shock | Shock size | Rear travel | Weight | RRP | Calculator |

| Pro | RockShox ZEB Ultimate Charger 3.1 (170 mm) | RockShox Vivid Ultimate | 205x60 | 170 mm | – | €6,699 | Setup → |
How it compares
170 mm at the fork almost exactly matches the 170 mm median of the 41 bikes in the “enduro bike” category in our database. Travel is the same front and rear at 170 mm each. On travel, it slots in between the Specialized Stumpjumper 15 and the Specialized Demo 11 in the Specialized range. Specialized builds the frame from carbon.
With a starting price of €6,699 (Pro), the Specialized Enduro is above the category median (€4,750). Specialized uses RockShox suspension throughout.
Setup notes for this spec
- Fork (RockShox ZEB Ultimate Charger 3.1): air goes in through the valve on top of the left leg. After every change, compress the fork firmly a few times before measuring SAG.
- Rebound: turn the red RockShox adjuster fully closed first and count clicks from there – that way you can note settings and restore them later.
- Air shock (RockShox Vivid Ultimate): measure SAG in your riding position, ideally with a helper holding the bike. Cycle the shock a few times after every pressure change.
Target SAG for the Specialized Enduro
SAG is the share of travel your weight already uses in the riding position. The table gives it straight in millimetres – read the O-ring on the stanchion and on the shock shaft and adjust the air pressure until it matches. Any figures from Specialized take priority.
170 mm fork, 60.0 mm shock stroke (all builds)
| Riding style | Fork SAG | Shock SAG |
|---|---|---|
| XC / touring | 17 % = 29 mm | 24 % = 14.4 mm on the shock shaft |
| Trail | 20 % = 34 mm | 28 % = 16.8 mm on the shock shaft |
| Enduro / rough | 22 % = 37 mm | 30 % = 18.0 mm on the shock shaft |
| Bike park | 20 % = 34 mm | 27 % = 16.2 mm on the shock shaft |
How to measure SAG is explained in our guide SAG setup.
Tyre pressure starting values
For 2.30″ wide tyres, tubeless with a trail casing. With an inner tube about 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) more, with an insert about 0.1 bar (1.5 psi) less. Stock tyres: Butcher 2.3.
| Ready-to-ride weight | Front | Rear |
|---|---|---|
| 60 kg | 1.53 bar (22 psi) | 1.73 bar (25 psi) |
| 70 kg | 1.65 bar (24 psi) | 1.85 bar (27 psi) |
| 80 kg | 1.77 bar (26 psi) | 1.97 bar (29 psi) |
| 90 kg | 1.89 bar (27 psi) | 2.09 bar (30 psi) |
| 100 kg | 2.01 bar (29 psi) | 2.21 bar (32 psi) |
| 110 kg | 2.13 bar (31 psi) | 2.33 bar (34 psi) |
| 120 kg | 2.25 bar (33 psi) | 2.45 bar (36 psi) |
Air pressure in the fork and shock
The sticker on the fork (or on the shock) and the manufacturers’ setup charts give you a first pressure. Our calculator is more precise and suggests rebound too – always check the result via SAG.
