I'm the last person on earth I'd expect to be defending value on a 10k bike but just comparing it to the Slash you get Carbon rims, Ohlins suspension, SWAT (whether or not that's a selling feature is individual but it's a design and production cost) and a more reliable dropper post by most accounts (I haven't owned either).
Looking at the other super bikes regardless of wheelsize (Yeti 5.5 / 6, Pivot Firebird, Santacruz Nomad) I don't see how the Enduro isn't at least a comparable value.
All things being equal - and recognizing the longer break-in period - I'd take the Ohlins fork over anything else on the market. They're beautifully made.
I'd love to see where an Ohlins equipped aluminum Enduro with a GX build would land pricing wise. Would rather maximize my investment in suspension.
