Specialized "Pitch"

Is it yet another category they're trying to create? (between the Enduro SL and SXT)

I get that it's a slightly tougher version of the Enduro SL, yet there's not really a high end version of the Pitch. It's kinda like what the FSR XC is to the Stumpy FSR???

Either way, I kinda like it. I'd at least like to try one out.


All Mountain
THROW THIS AT IT. Born from the same brains that brought you the Enduro SL, the all-new PitchTM throws 150-mm of FSR suspension and a generous helping of top shelf technology at even the most demanding All Mountain terrain.
Inside Tech
We didn't start with a blank slate when designing the Pitch. Nope. We've used the years of trail time and lab test data that went into making the Enduro SL to make the Pitch a fast follower. By employing the same proven FSR suspension and mimicking the Enduro SL’s geometry and frame design, we've given the all-new Pitch the control and confidence of a much more mature machine.

Looking at the spec, it's just a lower end version of the new Enduro stuff, and running a Pike vs. their house brand fork.

Yeah, but they make it sound as if the frame is a little different...tougher? Dunno.

Oh come on kids, when I was 16 (3 years ago) I wish I had a place to unload all my cash. Do you guys even have jobs yet? Or do your high school sweethearts take all your cash?

Re: the Bike. Id try one... But I would sure wanna ride one hard before I bought one for myself
