Does Spec Matter? Pivot Trail 429 vs Trail 429 Enduro | Dissected Series

If you've been in the market for a do-it-all mountain bike, chances are, you've dealt with the inner debate around travel, build spec, weight and what matters most. We get asked quite a bit, "How much does build spec matter?" Depending on how much time we've got to chat we could go 'til we're blue in the face, but in short, it matters a lot. How much is a lot, and does that percentage really mean you should suffer from analysis paralysis? We're not so sure. Thanks to ‪@pivotcyclesusa‬ we were able to conduct a fun few weeks of testing on a perfect platform to see just how big (or small) the differences are. Our testers put the Pivot Trail 429 head-to-head against the...Pivot Trail 429 "Enduro." Pivot isn't the only brand offering a versatile frame in two different build options designed for riders who want similar but different things out of their trail bike. Stay tuned to learn about this impressively capable mountain bike, and see if the Trail or Enduro build spec comes out on top, or is fastest to the bottom, or....whatever aspect of performance matters most to you!

As with all of our Dissected Features, this is not intended to be a long-term review or endorsement of a product but is instead a chance for our viewers and readers to get unique looks into new bikes, performance comparisons and other in-depth topics. We thank Pivot Cycles for the opportunity to create this feature and getting you some valuable beta on this lightweight, yet impressively capable trail ripper.
