Hi all, I am looking at a devinci spartan as an enduro bike. Most reviews say that they are great downhill but ome or two mentioned it can be a bit of a pig uphill compared to others. Is this the case? Has anyone ridden any other enduro bikes to compare against.
I love the look of the spartan and spec is similar to other bikes like the strive or capra but a little less common. That said, I need something that can do a bit of xc to an alps trip as I can only have one bike. 60% of my rides will be xc and single track so it needs to pedal ok. Not an xc whippet but not like riding a dh bike. I already have owned a 160mm travel bike and just want to upgrade.
Thanks in advance
