Wait what! Enduro gets an 8 of 10. I think they're overestimating this bike's credentials. A head angle of 72 degrees and a carbon rigid fork. You must be kidding. What the hell kind of enduro do they think they're referring to? Its not that you can't #enduro on a hardtail but frankly this ain't that sort of hardtail. Or am I some how ignorant. Did something happen in the world of MTB that makes this an 8 out of 10 enduro bike. Click features here http://www.dedacciaistrada.com/EN/skyline-3zero-29.htm
