His go-to weapon of choice is a size Medium Specialized S-Works Enduro 29 which he's raced on the Enduro World Series circuit and has even used at some UCI World Cup DH races. Mitch walks us through his bike and setup which features the Ohlins TTX coil rear shock, SRAM XX1 drivetrain, RockShox Pike fork, Specialized Butcher and Slaughter tires, Specialized Roval Fatty SL wheels and other assorted goodies.
