Hello,
I'm new here, I've done my research but I need some semi-professional advice
.
I mostly ride in bikeparks, you know, the ones with jumps
.
A downhill bike would be ideal, but due to some MTB along the way, it's good to have an Enduro bike, nowadays they can perform everything on a bikepark.
I was thinking to take the Specialized 2021 Evo Comp (500 pounds more than the 2021 Comp but I don't see differences), it seems the best for few reasons:
Cons
I've heard that they don't produce anymore for this year or they didn't for a long time (due to covid impact), it's a bit though to find these 2021 models, is it the same for other competitors??
Ideally, I would like to have an aluminum frame.
I'll use this bike also for some Enduro session, so some cycling up

- It's light
- The price is kind of ok, I can take finance in UK without APR for 3 years, around 100 pounds per month, the plan looks good.
- It's 29", so more stable, I'm 5.4", I think I need to take the medium frame.
- The reviews only mention positive things, overall, it seems a good bike.
Cons
- The frame is carbon unfortunately, they don't produce anymore aluminum frames... The carbon breaks easily... Unless there is a protection of another material outside.
- The 29" is slightly bigger, I will scratch it so many times forcing the load on my car... On carbon it may not be nice, so I was thinking to buy the glass protection (if I can call it in that way
- The sit doesn't seem to go completely down, that's a big problem with jumps...
