What’s the difference between a trail bike and an enduro bike?

Enduro bikes are predominantly built for downhill so have a longer wheelbase, longer reach and slacker head tube angle than trail bikes (around 63-4º vs 66º). This levels out rider position to feel more planted on steep descents, and slows steering for better stability at speed. Trail bikes need strong pedal efficiency so cranks can be up to 170-175mm, whereas for enduro the priority is ground clearance with more suspension and sag, so cranks can be as short as 160mm.
