You want to ride the whole mountain without getting weighed down. This frame provides the ultimate all-mountain platform—capable of handling serious downhill abuse, without forfeiting climbing efficiency or steering precision. By combining a relaxed, plush all-mountain geo with added torsional stiffness in select areas, we get a bike that can absorb huge hits and still climb efficiently. And our in-line rear shock with FSR technology provides mm of active, buttery travel that still remains firm under pedaling forces.
Accepts any aftermarket chain guide and lets you easily replace ISCG mounts in case of breakage. Guides are essential for improving shifting performance and minimizing chain-drop. Our ISCG mounts meet international standards for sizing and compatibility, so aftermarket mounts still fit replaceable mounts only on carbon frames.
This remote-adjust, three-position hydraulic seatpost lets you drop and raise the saddle, on the fly, for more efficiency and control over varying terrain. Push the button on the bar-mounted remote, and the seatpost automatically compresses to one of three available heights: Climbing position full height for maximum power output on climbs and flats; Cruiser position 35mm below for undulating terrain; and Descend position mm below for maximum clearance and maneuverability on technical descents.
The new, sleeker frame design with x 12mm thru-axle hub spacing prevents mud and debris from slowing you down or hanging you up. Responding to input from Sam Hill, Brendan Fairclough, and the Monster Energy mechanics, we softened sharp edges and corners that collected debris and made the frame sleeker to limit any narrow spaces that might collect mud.
The x 12mm rear end is strong, stiff, and compatible with most aftermarket DH hubs. Our independent and active FSR suspension gives you more traction, control, and confidence for steep descents and tight corners, while the sub-seatstay lightens the frame and lowers your center of gravity for more stability.
The sub-seatstay allows us to drive the shock off the chainstays, as opposed to the seatstay, which makes the rear end lighter, more compact, and lowers the center of gravity. Using the strongest and lightest DH components lets you go faster and harder without as much risk. Since we use industry standard interfaces, your aftermarket components will still fit the bike.
We dial the spec to work in perfect concert with the Demo platform by working closely with the Monster Energy team and various manufacturers. By testing the components at every stage of development, we make adjustments to the wheels, crankset, etc. A two-letter word for go big or go home, this bike feeds on huge air, park stunts, and dual slalom. Series has a bike for you. From the trail-inspired to the true hybrid, these bikes are for riders of all styles and budgets.
Since the M4 alloy tubes are formed and butted, you get the lightest and strongest frame possible. This translates into faster acceleration and climbing, stable descending, and increased comfort and durability. Fully formed tubes are individually shaped for their unique purpose, allowing our engineers to optimize tube sets for specific performance characteristics such as torsional stiffness or compliance.
Having a hydraulically-damped fork gives the Rockhopper real cross-country capability, dramatically improving bump absorption, steering precision, and tunability. A handlebar-mounted lever lets you lock out the fork for increased efficiency on hardpack or smooth climbs. You can ride harder with more control and confidence thanks to consistent stopping power and brake modulation in all weather and trail conditions.
A slight pull on the lever pumps hydraulic oil to the caliper, which pushes the pistons into contact with the disc rotor. Hydraulic systems produce more power than mechanical brakes found on base model , which means increased power at the caliper and a more positive touch on the levers. Fast, light, tough, and enduring: still the best performing recreational XC hardtail on the trail.
Developed in partnership with Dr. Schedule a BG FIT at your local dealer, and one of our technicians will guide you through a pre-fit interview, step physical assessment, on-the-bike analysis, and follow-up. Visit www. Right after my fit, I had to stop several times during my ride to make sure my power meter was reading right. I thought it was reading too high for how good I felt. I stopped, re-calibrated the power meter, checked the sensor magnet, and got going again.
I found nothing wrong with my power meter, so I attribute the feeling to the new fit on my bike. Doing the harder efforts just seemed so much easier and no discomforts.
Simply amazing. It gets them back on their bikes and enjoying cycling as much as I do. Based on the same science that makes BG FIT so successful, Body Geometry equipment is designed to improve the way your body connects with your bike at the three points of contact—your hands, seat, and feet. BG shoes and High Performance footbeds use built-in ergonomic features like the varus wedge, longitudinal arch, and metatarsal button to make the connection between body and bike more productive and more comfortable.
BG gloves feature a unique pad system that helps reduce hand numbness aka, cycling palsy by relieving pressure on the ulnar nerve. Multi-density grips and bar coverings work together with BG gloves to improve comfort and endurance.
BG saddles and shorts use customized shapes, cut-outs, and multi-density padding to reduce pressure on arteries and soft tissue for improved blood flow and comfort. Developed with Dr. Andy Pruitt of the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, Specialized shoes and High Performance footbeds help athletes ride farther, faster, and in greater comfort, while reducing the chance for injury. Dual reels allow you to isolate specific areas of the foot for a truly customizable fit.
Varus Wedge Built-in 1. Also prevents knee pressure and strain. Developed with ergonomic designer Dr. Roger Minkow, M. BG Grooves and Cut-Outs The anatomically designed BG groove or cut-out takes pressure off arteries and soft tissue for improved blood flow and comfort. Multiple Widths Since a properly sized saddle increases your comfort and power on the bike, BG saddles come in a range of widths to fit every rider. Get your sit bone measurements taken at your Specialized dealer today.
Saddle Shape We design the shape of every saddle to complement the way you ride. Based on your needs and preferences, a Specialized dealer can help you find your match from a variety of flat, curved, and comfort saddles. Low Aerodynamic Drag Stealthy, wind tunnel-tested shape ranks among the lowest drag in the industry. Customizable Fit Micro-adjust Mindset fit system and Tri-Fix webbing let the rider fine tune the fit and comfort of the helmet like never before.
Body Geometry Ergonomics Our ergonomically-shaped BG Gel padding is strategically placed between the heel of the palm and the handlebar for focused protection. This cushioning dissipates compressive forces on the ulnar nerve to reduce pressure, numbness, and discomfort. Experience-specific Design For our MTB designs, we tune the size and location of the padding for optimal flat-bar ergonomics.
Two smaller and thinner pads wrap the heel of the hand to protect the ulnar nerve. And minimal padding under the palm ensures a flat hand position on the bar for greater control. We have casings and treads for every season, every terrain, and every kind of performance.
And when it comes to durability, ride quality, and safety, you can rest assured that there are many miles under our tires before you ever get to ride them. Available in race-specific S-Works casings and trail-specific Control casings, 2Bliss Ready tires give you all the versatility you need. Looking for a UST light option? The real reason you need a pair of these: No sealant required. Mike Sinyard founded his company on the tire category, and throughout the years, our mission has remained firmly fixed on creating market-leading tire designs and technology for every kind of rider.
In fact, we are so confident our tires will meet your expectations that we guarantee every one. We stand behind every knob, casing and compound. If you use one of our tires for its intended experience and are unhappy for any reason, limited to 90 days from purchase simply return it to your local dealer for an exchange or purchase of another Specialized product. Big jobs require big equipment: The Purgatory has big volume and monster traction, with biting side and center knobs for intermediate to loamy conditions.
We asked Ned Overend to help us design the perfect tire for control and predictability over any trail. The result is The Captain, with fast-rolling center knobs for exceptional transition and edge knobs to attack every turn. The large footprint with reinforced side knobs hooks up in the fastest turns without slowing you down.

Make sure you have, review, and understand the warnings, instructions, and content of the manuals for your bicycle. Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding is extremely dangerous. Some downhill racers and freeriders reach speeds similar to motorcycles, thus face similar risks and hazards. When engaging in these activities, you, your bicycle and safety equipment must be in perfect condition.
We recommend that at all times you wear appropriate safety gear, such as an approved full face helmet, full finger gloves, and body armor. Not every bicycle is built for every activity. Check with your Specialized dealer to make sure you have the right equipment. No bicycle is indestructible. Downhill racing, severe off road riding, jumping, and stunt riding increases the stress on every part of your bicycle.
Frames or parts under high stress may fail, causing you to lose control or fall. Because of the risk involved,. Specialized recommends that you conduct a thorough inspection before each ride.
If you miss a jump, ditch your bike in mid crash, dump or launch your bike without you on it, inspect yourself for injury, then carefully inspect your bicycle for damage. Here is what you should look for when you inspect your bicycle for this type of riding: bent or broken components, such as the handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost, pedals; dents, cracks, scratches, deformation, or discoloration.
Because damage may. The action depicted is being performed by experts with many years of training and experience. Even with that training and experience, cyclists who engage in such activity often get seriously injured. It is also foreseeable that during some jumps or stunts, and even some races, that the rider will exceed the design capacity of the frame or components, which may result in something on the bicycle bending or breaking. If a frame or component bends or breaks, such may lead to loss of control, serious personal injury or death.
As activities such as racing, jumping, severe off road riding, and stunt riding are extremely dangerous, SAFETY should always be the first consideration. Here are some additional recommendations:.
Do not ride your bicycle if it shows such signs of stress. Specialized does not warrant the bicycle frame or components for such activities, and expressly disclaims all warranties, including the warranty of fitness for particular purpose and merchantability.
Technological advances have made bicycles and bicycle components more complex, and the pace of innovation is increasing. In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.
Service on Specialized bicycles requires special knowledge and tools. Specialized recommends that all service and repairs be performed by an authorized Specialized retailer. Your bicycle has been engineered and tested with specific components and parts.
Because of the great variety in these items, it is impossible for Specialized to test and approve of all possible combinations. Modifying the frame, fork, or any of the components may make your bike unsafe. If you must replace any component, have this done by your authorized Specialized retailer. Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, fill, or remove parts.
Do not install incompatible forks or suspension parts. An improperly modified frame, fork, or component, can cause you to lose control and fall.
