You'll get less depreciation on the pikes...

I thought specialized had switched to 150mm Fox 32 QR15s on all enduros this year and dumped the 150mm E150 25mm?

EDIT: Sorry, the Carbon SL one still comes with an E150 fork
Also, aren't triple clamp forks slightly more cumbersome on tight switchbacks?

Nah, the more expensive Enduros still get E150s.

Love the e150, problems of the past now sorted, even then 5 year warranty. Miles easier than a Talas to service thanks to mtbr.com an a guy called Kelstr. Nice stiff and plush.Found them better than a 09 36 TALAS, which are not as plush as 36 Floats. TF Tuned and Specialized service them too.

doubt it, as the 20mm axle already runs straight into the bearings

I know that industry nine do a 25mm hub, some others, nowt really wrong with the specialized hub, cheapish bearings can be replaced once worn for better ones. Though I've got traversee wheelset on order.
