Looking at the Specialized Website...
For 2008, Specialized moved the Enduro SL models down one level in name.
2007 Pro (SL fork) -> 2008 Expert (SL fork)
2007 Expert (std fork) -> 2008 Comp (w/ SL fork)
2007 Comp (std fork) -> extinct (std fork = extinct too)
The only substantive chang in the transition from 2007 Pro to 2008 Expert... they changed the Magura Marta brakes over to Avid Liquid 7 Ultimates.
As I have access to picking up eiher an '07 Pro or an '08 Expert... and I'm looking for opinions on how these two brake sets compare.
Equivalent? Avids certainly are a more "accessible" name, so more likely to find service and support and parts... but do they spec as well and perform as well as the Maguras?
