Enduro Racbike Vergleichstest Review Test web 38 von 45 810x540

Which enduro bike of 2018 is the fastest? In order to answer this question, we held our own race in Finale Ligure with the ten most exciting enduro bikes around. This test reveals why Sam Hill and Jesse Melamed would probably be faster on other bikes and why, if you race to win, you shouldn’t use carbon wheels.

Best in test: Santa Cruz Hightower LT

Santa Cruz Hightower END 030 Group Test best in Test 810x540
Santa Cruz Hightower LT | 150/150 mm (f/r) | 12.80 kg | € 9,899

The Santa Cruz Hightower LT is not only super fast, it’s a load of fun too! The acceleration is great, the handling in corners is very well balanced, and the rear suspension is in a class of its own. If you’re looking for a bike that is more than just fast, offering a more complete and rounded package, this is the bike! The price, here, is the only thing out of kilter.

The YT JEFFSY 27 CF Pro Race goes like a rocket and impressed with its plush rear suspension and dialed geometry. It missed the podium by a hair in this comparison, but in terms of value for money it’s the absolute favourite. If you are looking for maximum riding pleasure at the lowest price, you will find it here! Our buyer’s tip!
