You have been swayed boy!
?? You’ve lost me. My point to you is why get upset over what others choose to buy? Enduro happens to be a handy tag for a certain type of riding/bike. You don’t have to buy one, as i have chosen not to. Your the one who started a thread to moan about it on here. Seems bizarre you care so much about other folks buying choices.
All i’ve tried to point out to you is the bike industry needs to re invent certain things now and again to get more people into the sport or refine bikes for certain types of riding. likewise if we all just kept the bikes we’ve been riding for years maybe the knock on effect would be no advertising revenue, no magazines, no forums.
Theres no need to look down your nose at the people that have been ‘sucked in’ to the 650b/enduro hype, so what? When you bought your first MTB the cross guys/roadies probably thought the same about you!
