That bike is a great bike for those whose body geometry fit it and I wish you every joy with the bike.
I have always been in touch with my feminine side, but pink? Really? :shock:
I have no idea how any female and/or colour blind mtb riders there are out there vs the total community, but surely that reduces your market when you come to sell on?
Or are you planning on repainting it before sale?
Even if you are female, self assigned as female, in touch with your feminine side, or just colour blind; my advice stands.0 -
I won't be selling it on, this is my forever bike as it were.
I love it, I love the colour scheme, it's more neon pink in the flesh (carbon).
I had the 2015 version and loved it, so I am pretty sure I'm going to be loving this on as much.0 -

I'm happy for you, really.
I have had a few forever bikes. They tend to last three years max and then technology overtakes them, or cool developments (whatever). But the biggest reason for me falling out of love with a bike has been my own personal development. Mostly it has been me becoming a better rider and developing increasing ambitions to ride further, faster, or rougher. Unfortunately, latterly it has been my physical deterioration (knees). This has led to me selling my YT Capra and not replacing it. Right now my latest forever bike (2 years in a few weeks) is looking at replacement by an eBike early next year! :shock: They are so expensive that I'm taking loads of time to think about it and to test them out; what fun! There is a poor second hand market so it will have to be my new "forever bike" for quite a while. (I'll give it 3 years max.

This is lovely, the colourway is awesome.
Whatever the 'advice' referenced above is, ignore it.0 -

Everyone is of course completely free to ignore my advice. They can even tell me that they are going to ignore and it will not bother me in the slightest. I post under my own name and I mean what I say and it is said without malice. 0 -
Aesthetics are always going to be subjective, so no one is going to agree there. I personally don't like the pink, but it looks pretty good in terms of it's setup and components. From my perspective I don't think forever bikes exist, not for me anyway. Too impatient and always wanting more!Cannondale Trail 27.5 | 2015

I've always like that Enduro frame.
I had 02,04,06,08 Enduros and was going to buy one in 2011 but opted to build a NP Mega instead.I liked the Mega but fell out with MTBing.I often wonder if that would still be the case had I gone with an Enduro instead.
Anyway I digress.Nice looking bike,Pink isn't for me but it's not my bike.I always like the Black/Yellow Enduro Evo colour scheme 8)0 -
Nice bike.
I had a Stumpjumper FSR and considered an Enduro when I changed bikes a couple of years ago but discounted it as it was too much bike for my intended use (trails mainly with visits to trail centres) and went for a Trance.
Colour is irrelevant when it is covered in mud.
What happened to the Enduro you bought a couple of months ago?“Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much”
