Welcome to Vital's 2023 Enduro Test Sessions!
After a two-year hiatus, we are back with another Enduro Bike Test Sessions! We gathered six of the most popular enduro bikes, some with long-standing track records and some promising newcomers. All bikes were size XL with between 160-170mm of rear wheel travel. Two bikes were mixed-wheeled, two had high pivots, and two carried Enduro World Series titles.
To cover a wide variety of terrain as efficiently as possible, we headed to Snow Summit Bike Park in Southern California for five days of chairlift-accessed bike park smashing. The goal: uncover the strengths and weaknesses of each bike, and ultimately, decide which we would take home on the spot and which we would buy with our own money.

We stayed right at the base of the mountain, courtesy of Visit Big Bear, and couldn't have asked for a more convenient way to spend the week testing bikes. With our condo less than a minute from the Snow Summit village, we could easily head back to our unit between laps and had plenty of space to work on our bikes.
