Rider-First Engineered – Specialized frames use a size-specific approach to ride characteristics that ensures benchmark handling and flawless performance, regardless of frame or rider size. Whether you’re a jump-happy grom riding an S1, or a DH-fiend giant in need of the lengthy S6, you’ll experience the same ride traits – rail-sharp cornering and balanced front and rear stiffness – at the lightest-possible weight.
SWAT™ Door Integration – First introduced by Specialized in 2016, this revolutionary in-frame storage provides a place for pumps, spare tubes, and snacks, immediately rendering jersey pockets redundant.
