The BMW Mountainbike Enduro is a sporty, luxury two-wheeler for the serious biking enthusiast. Though the frame of the bike is a slick metallic black, the bright green seat and spokes offset it and add some panache.
Improving from the 2011 model of the same name, the 2012 edition of the cycle includes a new Crank Brothers wheelset which provides a better downhill cruising experience thanks to increased tension and stiffness for better handling.
The new edition also sports a revamped frame which is lightweight and easy to maneuver, weighing in at 32.6 lbs. While the bike looks sharp and promises to provide a high-performance ride, it is not for the everyday consumer and sports a price tag of just under $4000 US -- though one would expect nothing less from the luxury brand.
