  • You leave behind Vertix 2S's among the longest GPS battery claims in the adventure class

  Who should switch

  Choose Enduro 3 if your calendar is mostly ultra / trail training and Vertix 2S's ultra / trail training bias is the wrong default.

  Who should stay with Vertix 2S

  Keep Vertix 2S when weight 87, display mip, GPS battery 118 still matches the miles you actually run, even if Enduro 3 looks better on paper.
