Hi guys, I'm excited to share this video because this bike is one hellofa build. I spent lots of time thinking about what I wanted in an Enduro bike and collecting the parts over the winter, to make it happen. The main goal with this build was to keep it "mature" and somewhat stealth and low key in terms of color scheme. I wanted to highlight and draw attention to the frame just because it's so nice. I also wanted to build something as light as possible. Unfortunately this meant spending a little more than if I would have done a more budget build. I want to make something clear, you DO NOT need to go this bougie to build a descent enduro bike. Simply start with a good "bang for the buck" frameset like this and put used parts on it. That was my original plan...but eh. YOLO.
P.S...
1. I know, I didn't line the damn rim decals up with the tires. My season is literally over now.
2. No, I didn't go for SRAM's new drivetrain stuff as I bought all my parts before they announced it ;)
3. Apparently these ZEB's are the 2023 models as they come with the bleeders, I thought they were 2022 when I bought them. +1 for me :)
