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.
