The Camber is the perfect bike for everything from weekend trail rides to all-day epic excursions. We developed the Camber to give trail riders everything they need, and nothing they don’t. What exactly does that mean? The answer is the perfect blend of performance, capability, and value. The 29-inch-specific, 110mm travel Camber delivers a lightweight frame (both alloy and FACT carbon), Roval wheelsets, a trail-specific build and geo for confident riding at speed, and ultimately the ideal balance of efficiency and plush suspension performance for every rider.

The Alias-part road bike, part triathlon bike—is the perfect choice for these women, who typically don’t want to buy (or store) two bikes for different needs. This bike will be a very attractive option to many first-time triathletes just getting into the sport, due to its versatility and features. We believe the Alias presents a huge opportunity to get in on this fast expanding market and grow your women’s business through triathlon.

The original wonder material

Yesterday we showed the DH bike of the year, which is followed by the winner of in the more general category “Mountain Bike of the Year”. And the bike from our catalog is again on top!

PURIST TECHNOLOGY
With technology inspired by nature, Purist is as close to drinking from a glass as you can get. Specialized infuse silicone dioxide—a naturally occurring element common in fruits and vegetables—to the inner surface of the bottle. It creates a glass-like barrier that shields the bottle from odors, stains, and mold. One taste and you will realize what you have been missing—the pure taste of water.

Experienced riders appreciate premium XC performance, however youth mountain biking has exploded in recent years, and the Hotrock XTR was developed to give kids the S-Works-level performance their parents trust. This 24-inch-wheeled, race-ready machine features our fully butted Premium A1 aluminum frame, along with a treatment of Shimano XTR brakes and drivetrain, plus the smooth operating and easy to tune, air-sprung RockShox SID RL fork.

In an unprecedented display of dominance, the S-Works Shiv TT took gold in every single elite category in the race against the clock. With wins coming down to minutes and fractions of a second, Specialized bikes and equipment stamped their authority as the ultimate aerodynamic weapons.

What started out as a decision to race for fun quickly turned into one of the more exciting cyclocross battles is recent memory. Starting from the fourth row behind the juggernauts of the sport, Zdenek fought tooth and nail to quickly make his way through the mid-pack traffic. The race came down to an exhilarating last-lap duel between Zdenek, and defending World Champion Sven Nys. The two men traded attacks, and spills, as they battled for supremacy in the grueling mud.

He sprinted ahead of Yauheni Hutarovich (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and Barry Markus (Vacansoleil-DCM) in Doha to take the final golden jersey for team OmegaPharma-Quick Step.

"I'm over the moon," Cavendish explained. "We came here without Tom Boonen, he got injured and put pressure on me! The guys worked and looked after so well, and just delivered every day. I'm happy to bring it home, it's the fifth time the team won the Tour of Qatar overall. I'm happy to be a part of that."
