ENDURO SL<br />
ALL MOUNTAIN, ALL DAY, ALL FUN With six inches <strong>of</strong> fully active FSR travel<br />
and our proprietary <strong>for</strong>k and shock, the 2007 Enduro SL makes getting to the<br />
best trails easier, and dropping down them more fun.<br />
SUSPENSION/ENDURO TEAM<br />
“Sure we have a lot <strong>of</strong> fun. We love the thrill <strong>of</strong> riding our own bikes as much as<br />
any <strong>of</strong> our customers,” says Mike “Mick” McAndrews, <strong>Specialized</strong>’s VP <strong>of</strong> Suspension<br />
Development (far right). “But if we didn’t back it up with equally obsessive test<br />
lab and quality-control processes we’d have<br />
nothing.” Mick led a team <strong>of</strong> a half-dozen<br />
dedicated engineers, designers and<br />
testers including Fern Hernandez<br />
(front), and (from left) Joe “Buck”<br />
Buckley, Brian Lampman, Brandon<br />
Sloan, Ron Powers, and Jan Talavasek<br />
(not pictured), in developing our<br />
Future Shock E150 <strong>for</strong>k and<br />
AFR Shock shocks—the<br />
most advanced suspension<br />
components ever used<br />
on a bike.
