Best cycling tips for beginners

Year after year we see how technology advances in our bikes.

Sometimes with great jumps, and others little by little, with logical

steps. Specialized ​endurance mountain bike training​ is one of those brands that is always in constant evolution, improving each product, both in the technical aspect, as in the design and aesthetics.

With an extensive range of bicycles ranging from bikes for children, without pedals and with 12 "wheels, including bikes for Triathlon, Road, Urban, BMX, Electric and each of the cycling modalities that we can imagine, Specialized It is distinguished by its quality and good work in every design, whatever the cycling we practice.

In the range of mountain bikes that is where we will focus, the big news for 2013 is the arrival of carbon to the Demo, the Specialized downhill bike .

After several years working with carbon in many of its models, it has not been until now that Specialized has decided to introduce it fully into its more "robust" bike. :: SPECIALIZED DEMO 8 S-WORKS FSR CARBON With a production limited to 250 units worldwide, the flagship of the Demo model is simply spectacular.

The main triangle is common in all Demo Carbon models, and is made of FACT 11m carbon(Advanced Functional Composite Technology).

The particularity in the construction by carbon FACT 11m, resides in the fact that the main triangle of carbon is built in two pieces, one formed by the steering pipe and the diagonal and upper pipes, and another piece with the rest of the main triangle, bottom bracket and seat tube. In this way, each of the blocks and the joints between them is optimized to improve the rigidity, absorption and weight of the assembly.

Aluminum parts have been inserted in the bottom bracket and in the steering tube for greater resistance and durability in these critical areas.

With the arrival of the new material in the Demo, it has been possible to reduce the weight in half a kilogram with respect to the aluminum model. There is a difference of 50 grams between the Demo S-Works model and the Demo 8 FSR I Carbon model, and this is because the S-Works link is built in magnesium, as opposed to the aluminum of the lower model of ​bike gear review​ are available to the best bike us.

Another of the few differences in the picture is in the back. The S-Works Demo is the only Demo that uses a 12x135mm axle on the rear wheel, unlike the one used on the rest of 12x150mm. Why we owe it to Sam Hill . The Demo S-Works is identical to the one used by the Australian runner, including the components, and one of their "demands" when designing the new Demo Carbon was this, a smaller width of the rear axle to be able to pass better and faster by rock areas.

In turn, the rear cassette and the hub are different in the Demo S-Works, mounting a special core with a cassette of 9/20 teeth of seven speeds, compared to 11/25 and ten speeds of the rest.

The assembly of the Demo S-Works is simply impeccable: Shock absorber Rockshox Vivid with titanium spring, Boxxer World Cup fork with Black Gold bottles, Renthal handlebar and power , Avid Code XO World Cup brakes, DT Swiss wheels, seatpost and SDG saddle I-Fly, etc. And all this customized for the occasion leaving the complete bike without pedals in 16.1 kg.

The aesthetics of the demo model 8 FSR I Carbon in black and white is at the height of its older sister. A more modest assembly and a much lower price but with the same base. Like the S-Works, both have two protectors under the diagonal tube. A vinyl that goes from the steering head to the bottom bracket and on this, in the area near the bottom bracket, another protector removable in fiber and foam to protect against possible impacts to this delicate area. Great source- ​types of personal training services​ in your demand- Demo models in aluminum will continue to be commercialized as they have been, with two versions, Demo 8 I, and Demo 8 II.

In both carbon and aluminum there is the possibility of acquiring the loose frame, with the only difference in color. :: SPECIALIZED ENDURO That enduro is fashionable is not a secret. Even so, Specialized has been manufacturing this complete model for lovers of the extreme for many years.

Renewed lines and four models to choose from, two carbon, FSR Expert and S-Works FSR, and two others in Aluminum M5, the FSR Comp model and the Expert EVO model, the coarse with rear shock absorber Cane Creek Double Barrel spring and Fox Van 36 Rc2 fork with 180mm travel on both wheels.

All models have internal guidance for telescopic seatpost, and except for the Comp model, the other models mount the Specialized Command post as standard.

Power of 40mm, wide handlebars, chain guide, 2.3 tires, everything you need to demand the most in any descent.

:: SPECIALIZED CAMBER For next year, the Camber model will only be available in a 29 "wheel.

Specialized has bet for the 29 "bikes quite strong, having in its catalog several models in this situation. Success or not on your part, it is clear that the 29 "have come to stay, and is that the advantages over a 26" are remarkable in this type of bike.

Regarding the different Camber models, a new M5 aluminum frame has been introduced, designed to take the Camber with a 29 "wheel to the greatest number of users, with the Camber and Camber Comp models.

With 110mm of travel on both wheels, the Camber is the ideal trail bike for any type of route, exit or competition, always keeping in mind the 29 ". :: SPECIALIZED STUMPJUMPER FSR Between the Enduro model and the Chamber we have the Stumpjumper FSR, in two versions, 26 "and 140mm of travel and 29" with 130mm.

Both versions in M5 aluminum and FACT IS 9mm carbon with aluminum back.

For this year, the Comp model has been introduced in its different wheel diameters to cover the gap between the S-Works and Expert versions.

A new model EVO, with more route, opens the doors to those who do not want that small ballast of the most aggressive models, but they want that extra route to be more comfortable in the descent.

:: SPECIALIZED WOMAN The female range of Specialized grows year after year. New models, new materials, more current designs and all created by women.

And of course, the 29 "are also present in the female models. There are many skeptics who do not believe that it is possible to create bikes in small sizes with 29 "wheels without ergonomics and design being affected when using them. But the evolution and the advances of the

engineers have been able to create polyvalent bikes in small sizes and designed by and for women.

From the mid / low range or initiation as the Myka HT or Jett to the higher range as the new Fate, designed for more demanding cyclists.

The frame of the Specialized Fate is built with carbon FACT 11mm, giving it the "status" of the S-Works model, which together with a luxury assembly with almost complete Shimano XTR group , Rock Shox Sid 29 "designed to Specialized and its "brain", Roval Control SL carbon wheels and premium components such as the S-Works Os Carbon rods, make it a racing machine never before seen in specific female models. :: SPECIALIZED ACCESSORIES AND COMPONENTS They are not only bikes. Specialized designs a wide variety of components and accessories for the cyclist, from specific clothing for each modality, to protections, tools, shoes and everything that the cyclist of today "needs".

As a novelty in the range for mountain bike, the ​Enduro​ gloves in various colors, with rubber protections on fingers and upper part, and with a palm made of clarin and without quilting for a better contact

with our fists. With a very modern design, and a fairly acceptable price, they are all-purpose gloves for any of the most aggressive modalities.

The ​Tactic​ helmet , new for this 2013 is placed within the segment all mountain / enduro, offering extra protection in the rear area. In several colors, comes with integrated visor, four adjustments in height of the fastening, more than enough ventilation and closure with buckle U-Turn.
