Troy Brosnan is off the 650b Specialized Enduro and on the Demo 8 at the Fort William BDS round. It's an aluminum frame (not an S-Works carbon) and the fork tells us it's a 650b-equipped machine. Should do well in the big holes of Fort William.

We knew Mitch Ropelato was on one of these in Cairns and are pretty certain that Gwin was on one at World Champs last year. Look at slide 22 in our World Champs qualifying slideshow and note the tires. Specialized doesn't make the Slaughter in in 26-inch.
