Guerdonian Date Reviewed: April 23, 2012 Strengths: Excellent performance on both the ups and the downs. 2009 model is like a long legged trail bike. Durable, relativity light, and efficient. Still happy with my choice 4 seasons later. Weaknesses: Specialized rear shock is crap. Lack of adjustable inputs, rebound is a pain with only 4 "clicks:", pro-pedal is sub par. Eventually plan to swap it out for a RP23. This 2009 year is also less aggressive than the prior and current year model which results in a twitchier feel on the downhill. Specialized command post leaked out on me after 2 months, still need to re-build it, supposedly they have fixed this issue with newer models. Bottom Line:

from Denver CO Date Reviewed: October 8, 2011 Strengths: Since there is no Enduro PRO in the 2012 Spesh line up, I guess the ones that are getting snatched up for INCREDIBLE deals in the tail end of 2011 need to be reviewed. I just bought one new for 1900 below the MSRP. I think that this is in itself an incredible thing. A carbon fiber 6.3 inch travel beast that weighs 28 lbs for 3900? How could I not buy this thing? This bike has completely changed my mountain biking already and I have only three rides under my belt on it. I looked at the usual suspects (Reign, Butcher, etc.) before I chose this one and was ready to take an uphill penalty for a complete party on the way down. Well due to the weight of this bike and adjustable travel fork with a little RP-23S magic thrown in it climbs much better than I expected. I live in 29'er/XC country and I can still get up quickly. Where this bike really shines though is on the way down. The second you let gravity kick in this thing comes alive! The geometry is aggressive and confidence inspiring. It begs to carve and lines you thought not doable suddenly seem non-issue. I was a little nervous when rocks first pinged the down tube. I would stop every time and inspect it for damage. Nothing - Thing is bulletproof. The spec of the stock components is unreal; Seat dropper, carbon X0 cranks, carbon 720mm bars, Elixir CR SL brakes, 160-135 adjustable travel 20mm thru axle fork, RP-23S shock with 3 open settings, and the Spesh tires bite perfectly when cornering and climbing. Just doesn't get much better than this bike. Weaknesses: Just a few minor things for me. Seat dropper lever cannot be put on the left side due to it's shape. Fork is a little difficult to dial in. Once I realized that the Spesh air chart is way over inflated, things got much better. Don't be afraid to monkey with it and run it a bit low!

from Exeter, England, UK Date Reviewed: December 31, 2007 Strengths: Superb handling at high speed through rocky terrain, through roots, step downs, 2-6ft drops and pretty much anything thrashing. Linkage is amazing too with no sloppiness in the rear end wandering all over the place when the frame is pushed hard. Weaknesses: Not enough XL sizes!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Rift (Wales) Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $600.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Santa Cruz Nomad, Santa Cruz Heckler, Foes FXR and Intense 6.6. Bike Setup: (2-shocks) #1. Cane Creek Double Barrel with a 500lb Ti-spring. #2. Marzocchi Rocco Air WC RC: (2-Forks) 1. Rock Shox Lyric coil to go with the Cane Creek shock. 2. Marzocchi 55ATA SL 1 125-165 air fork. The rest of the kit has Hope M4 185mm brakes, Sram X0 08' drivetrain, Saint Crankset with an MRP chain guide, Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.4 tyers, Chris King headset, DT Swiss 5.1 rims with Hope Pro 2 hubset, Race Face Diabolus stem(silver), Race Face Diabolus bar(silver), Odi lockon grips with blue clamps, braided hoses, Thomson seatpost, Wtb saddle, Salsa clamp. Had the frame custom painted since it was pretty worn out from the previous owner. It is now in custom annodized cobalt blue with a silver fleck to add depth to it. Silver is in the front by the headtube fading to the deep blue and then down by the drop outs it blends into a silver again. Nice job painting the frame lads in Exeter.

from Yucaipa, CA Date Reviewed: August 20, 2006 Strengths: Lightweight, handles the climbs and the descent very well. The frame warranty is outstanding. Weaknesses: The frame cracked at the top of the weld where the seat tube connects to the top tube/monocoque structure. Specialized warranted the frame in just a couple of days!. I now have a brand new frame. The one that broke was a 2003 year model, they sent out a 2004! So I guess that this is hardly a weakness, as I will be a Specialized customer for life.
