Rolling on 29inch wheels, powered by Split-Pivot credentials, and loaded with 165mm rear and upgraded 170mm travel in the fork, the versatile Spartan brings adept handling and bottomless stoke to the downward slope. Improved suspension dynamics increase lateral stiffness for a cutting-edge climber. And its shortened carbon chainstay brings leaner, meaner Enduro muscle to the trail or track. Additional features include a 38T compatible front ring, 2.5 tire clearance and metric shock. Spartan 19. Climb on and kill it all.

Strength:
got the gx ltd model size Med. Climbs ok, not as good as a xc vpp bike but if you are not setting pr kom its good. I am coming off a 650b stumpjumper and I feel i am not missing any nimbleness. I imagine this is because of the short chainstay and maybe the steep seat angle. The rear shock has few adjustments but the valving is spot on for me at 175 lbs. Nice progression in the rear, I can feel it come on after midstroke but the real ramping happens late in the stroke. I think this bike can easily take a coil shock
Weakness:
A little strange that a bike with this much travel has a shock with no low speed compression adjustment. Torque cap fork but no torque cap on the front wheel, had to purchase them separately, pita to put wheels on without it.
Bottom line; in the world where the enduro bike splits between dh and trail this bike leans a bit trail. Meaning it does not need a lot of speed to come alive.
