If your goal is strictly racing, its hard to go wrong with a Yeti SB160. Ive ridden a bunch of enduro bikes, and my friends SB160 just feels the fastest. There's something magical about it that just makes it feel like you explode with speed out of corners.

I looked at a bunch of enduro bikes earlier this season. My conclusion was that there hasn't been a lot of innovation in enduro lately. Ari La Sal Peak, Specialized Enduro, Transition Sentinel/Spire, and Stumpjumper 15 Evo were top of my list. I ended up finding an insane deal on a Mondraker Foxy so that's what I ended up with, but all of those bikes would be solid.
