My mate has covert envy, as mine is so awesome. Is this a good substitute? There are loads of them about 2nd hand.

Its got 150mm spesh triple clamps???

That was probably my favourite bike
The triple clamps can be troublesome , but when working hey are great

A different sort of beast, really.

The Enduro is a great descender, cushiony soft and great at taking big hits.

The Covert is more ‘springy’; you’re more likely to leap of the top of a hit than suck it up.

Hard to describe, but I’ve had a go.

Hmmm, what 2nd hand alternatives are out there then?

Dont discount the Enduro. If it’s a 2008 then the forks should be fine. The 07 ones caused all the problems. Mine was awesome and easily a match for my mates Nomad. The only thing I’d look to swap out is the shock becaise I found the spesh one pretty flexy. I had an RP23 and it made a massive difference.

bregante, what size is the shock?
