Since Specialized did away with the SX Series this must be the new Enduro SX or will it end up in the "P Line"
There is no ultra small slope style segment. People who buy them don't ride slope sized jumps because they are only present on comps (and 6m doubles are still doable on ht's ) and most of them use their dirt fullys as all around bikes. Though I am sure if spesh releases the sx with a completely new marketing claiming it's the cool new thing that will make you a dj pro people will buy it even if it will differ from the sx as much as the 2011 demo differed from the 2010 one.I'm surprised the sx wasn't good enough for this ultra small slope style segment. Maybe it's aimed at the jirtdumpers. Slim design, maybe steel?
Someone on PB mentioned no sx or sx trail for 2013... Any truth to that?
Haha, I meant the segment (or number) of people buying them, not the size of the jump vs bike.There is no ultra small slope style segment.

As far I'm concern, this one is the new "SX TRAIL" 2013. Called Enduro EVOYeah, Kidwoo. The short time I had on an SX was fun, but it took a fair bit to get it to jump, compared to the Killswitch, or the Rampant that I was riding. I think this might be a new P Series fully though, I doubt they'd get rid of the SX. It'd be kinda silly to do so... The SX is a fun little bike, and would probably still do a lot better on gnarly dual slalom, or 4X.
I know that anyone is talking about the SX Trail, but if you see the whole subject about this is that the SX isn't on the new Spz Catalogue, has been replace with the new Enduro EVO , SO that means that they need a new bike for slope style and slalom or anything short travel,bumps,jumps !Uh... Don't think anybody's talking about the SX Trail here...
Not really. The enduros are still trail bikes, even though some dork in full pads finally gets the balls to hit a double on one once he gets it and raves about its 'freeride capability'.Kind of glad to see the "sx trail" (now enduro evo) and sx are going back to the enduro lineup. Makes more sense to me- Seemed like the sx trail/ evo have been fairly redundant for the past couple years.
Hahaha!...even though some dork in full pads finally gets the balls to hit a double on one once he gets it and raves about its '
I doubt you will see that happen with the popularity of enduro, spesh is doing it perfectly for that market. The 'mini' dh market is small, I think the status is what they are pushing you into for park...I'm assuming (maybe too hopefully) they would rework the frame to truly cover sx trail territory this time around- kinda like the '06-'08 enduro based sx trails- I guess we'll see soon enough- I had my fingers crossed for a resurrected demo7 or updated sx trail. Oh well, better hold onto my sx trail until we see what's up with this new evo!
Couldnt agree more with that. I really cant see this new Evo SX being up to SX abuse. I hope to be proven wrong....Not really. The enduros are still trail bikes, even though some dork in full pads finally gets the balls to hit a double on one once he gets it and raves about its 'freeride capability'.
I hit road gaps with sketchy landings and white knuckle my sx trail into nasty rock gardens on genuinely dh-ish rowdy trails at mob stoopit. I wouldn't do that with an enduro......or a nomad.....or an ibis HD........that general 'ilk'.
