Old Downhill Bike Vs Modern Enduro Bike | Same, But Different?

Today’s enduro bikes are getting ever more downhill-orientated, with geometry getting progressively slacker and suspension travel getting longer as each year goes by. This has caused people to start questioning whether an enduro bike of today is more or less just a downhill bike from yesteryear, just with a dropper seatpost and more gears! To see how much truth there is in this argument, Rich and Isaac took a trip to @BikeParkWalesOfficial to see where a modern enduro bike differs from an old downhill bike, but also where they might share some similarities.
