Jan 29, 2002 11:37 AM | | for pure plushness the stinky wins hands down. the enduro is more geard toward xc with a few drops along the way (good slalom bike if you build it that way) the stinky gives you more options. you can lighten it up and go XC or you can man-size it and make it a full on freeride rig or even mild dh. i use mine for FR,urban,DH and DS (mainly 'cause i can't afford to buy a specialty bike for each genre)
anyway, for overall "plushness" the stinky is far better IMO. |

Jan 29, 2002 11:45 AM | | nice stinky tubby. what does the frame weigh? |

Jan 29, 2002 12:12 PM | | i'm not sure what the frame weighs, i'm 220 pounds so i'm not too concerned with bike weight. the whole bike set up for FR weighs somewhere in the mid 40's. pretty heavy, i know, but that's with atomic trail pimp 24" wheels and 3" tires. i commute about 10 miles to work on it though so that i'm nice and strong for race season. |

Jan 29, 2002 1:28 PM | | and i've ridden the Stinky. The Stinky is by far the more plush ride. The Enduro is by far the better climber and is quicker handling. It fills the space between XC and freeride. The Stinky is a real freeride bike. The Specialized Big Hit is a better bike to compare to the Stinky. |

Jan 29, 2002 1:54 PM | | i definitely have to agree with andy. i had a '01 big hit and loved it but some punk kid loved it more and stole it. the big hit seems to pedal better but i can take a bigger drop on my kona. both are awesome bikes, i wish i could afford both. |
