Pinkbike Poll: Would You Buy an Enduro Bike With a Dual-Crown Fork?
I broke my downhill bike last summer but really loved the forks so I threw them on my enduro bike and it made it better, I still never loved my enduro bike, the geometry and rear suspension never worked for me, so this year I bought the new norco shore and put the same dual crown fork DVO emeralds on it and it's incredible, it has great suspension, and a nice slack head angle comparable to my downhill bike, but it has a steeper seat tube angle and lower gear than my enduro bike had. So personally I love dual crown forks on enduro bikes. Enduro being a loose term to describe something that depends well and has capabilities to pedal to the top even if it may take longer than a cross country bike. I dont care a whole lot about weight because I only pedal occasionally and it works fine for flat ground and mild uphill so far haven't done anything steep yet, I only just finished building it, but it does way 42.5 pounds.
