FSR SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY FSR = ACTIVE, INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION FOR MAXIMUM CONTROL, COMFORT, AND EFFICIENCY
We pioneered active, independent suspension over 15 years ago and have been refining it ever since. Our FSR technology delivers more control, comfort, and efficiency than any other system by effectively decoupling chain and brake loads from rear suspension.
INDEPENDENT, ACTIVE SUSPENSION MOTION Patented FSR four-bar suspension isolates chain loads from suspension, leaving it free to compress and rebound to the terrain, thereby boosting your traction and control on the trail.
INDEPENDENT BRAKING Because the brake “floats” on the seatstay, FSR suspension remains active under braking, providing maximum control when you need it most.
Only because FSR is independent of chain and brake loads can it be active. Active suspension is free to absorb bump forces so your body doesn’t have to. By mitigating these repetitive impacts, you can ride longer, more comfortably.
INDEPENDENT PEDALLING Suspension motion is independent of pedal stroke, so all the effort you put into the pedals will move you forward, not up and down. This makes you the most efficient motor possible.
The Horst link, part of our patented FSR linkage, creates a floating seatstay by separating drivetrain and braking forces. Our engineers control the location of the link, tuning each bike depending on the demands of the ride experience.
TOTAL SUSPENSION INTEGRATION
THE BEST RIDING MOUNTAIN BIKES ARE BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP AS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM
TSI is an integrated approach to design that gives us complete control over every part of the bike, allowing us to optimise strength, stiffness, weight, spring rates and damping curves based on the demands of the ride experience. By fine-tuning each part to work in harmony with the other, TSI gives you better overall bike performance.
FRAME AND FORK INTEGRATION
BRAIN TECHNOLOGY
Controlling the bike’s frame and fork interface allows us to pioneer features like tapered steerer tubes and bearing/ down tube alignment that work together to minimise weight and maximise stiffness.
Pioneered by Specialized, Brain technology is found in our branded forks and rear shocks, as well as our collaborative shocks with RockShox and FOX. Since the Brain knows the difference between rider forces and bump forces, it immediately transitions from firmly efficient in smooth terrain to fully active in rough terrain, boosting both efficiency and control.

OPTIMISED BUMP FORCE MANAGEMENT
FORK AND WHEEL INTEGRATION
FSR linkage, front and rear spring rates, and damping curves are created and tuned together to maximise control and traction.
By utilising a greater surface area combined with a QR skewer, our OS 28 end caps increase stiffness at the front of the bike for greater control and confidence, without adding weight like a thru-axle.

EPIC TECH HIGHLIGHTS MINI BRAIN REAR SHOCK What does it do for you? By “sensing” the difference between rider-induced and bump-induced forces, the Specialized Mini Brain (co-developed by FOX) boosts efficiency and control over smooth and rough terrain. How does it work? When you encounter bump forces, the Brain’s inertia valve disengages, allowing oil to flow and the shock to immediately transition from firm (efficient) to fully active (compliant) suspension settings. The external Brain Fade dial allows you to fine tune suspension levels.
COMPETITIVE XC GEOMETRY What does it do for you? The Epic’s geometry puts you in an aggressive (or more forward) riding position for more power and precision handling. How does it work? By using a short rear end, low bottom bracket, and roomy top tube, you get a more nimble, manoeuvrable ride with room to stretch out and stay centered over the bike. If you’re not a racer, the head tube angle is still slack enough to enjoy plenty of winding singletrack.
XC DOUBLE CRANKS What does it do for you? Double cranks are lighter and better shifting than the standard triple. They give you more useable/less redundant gears, better ground clearance, and less chain drop. How does it work?
CROSSCOUNTRY
Triple cranks inherently create redundant gears. By eliminating one of the chainrings (essentially, removing under-utilised gears), double cranks reduce weight and redundancy, yet still give riders plenty of gear options. The smaller “big” ring increases clearance.
FROM THE WORLD CUP COURSE TO YOUR LOCAL TRAILS, CROSS-COUNTRY RIDING DEMANDS ALL-OUT SPEED AND EFFICIENCY. THAT’S WHY WE MAKE THE EPIC AND STUMPJUMPER HARDTAIL IMPOSSIBLY LIGHT, WITH GEOMETRIES PAINSTAKINGLY ENGINEERED FOR EXPLOSIVE ACCELERATION AND PINPOINT HANDLING. CAN YOU SAY XC WORLD CHAMPION?

STUMPJUMPER FSR TECH HIGHLIGHTS FACT IS CARBON CONSTRUCTION/ALLOY HYDROFORMING What does it do for you? Our most advanced carbon and alloy construction methods (material varies depending on model) make our Stumpjumpers the lightest, stiffest, and strongest bikes in their class. How does it work? • FACT IS: Divides front triangle into two monocoques — with carbon fibres running continuously from tube to tube — for more precise optimisation of tube shapes, sizes, and joints. • Hydroforming: High pressure fluid is forced through each tube to eliminate welds (saving weight) and achieve more precise tube shaping.
FSR What does it do for you? Our patented FSR suspension system helps you expend less energy on climbs and descend with more traction, control, and confidence. How does it work? Strategic pivot points at the rear of the bike separate suspension from drivetrain and braking forces to create a fully active, fully independent system that eliminates bob and squat (two things that rob the rider of energy and control).
WHEEL INTEGRATION What does it do for you? By increasing front-end stiffness, our oversized fork/hub interface gives you more control and confidence while riding technical terrain or pedalling out of the saddle. How does it work? We use Specialized OS 28 end caps to increase the surface area between the hub and fork dropouts. This set-up dramatically increases stiffness, while still utilising a superlight QR axle (instead of heavier thru-axles).
BRAIN REAR SHOCK What does it do for you? By “sensing” the difference between rider-induced and bump-induced forces, the Specialized Brain (co-developed by FOX) boosts efficiency and control over smooth and rough terrain. How does it work? When you encounter bump forces, the Brain’s inertia valve disengages, allowing oil to flow and the shock to immediately transition from firm (efficient) to fully active (compliant) suspension settings. The external Brain Fade dial allows you to fine tune suspension levels.

CAMBER TECH HIGHLIGHTS M4 ALLOY FRAME What does it do for you? The M4 alloy frame keeps the Camber lightweight, while delivering balanced climbing and descending capabilities. How does it work? Hydroforming lets us manipulate each tube for lighter weight and specific performance characteristics. The geo is specially adapted for the XC Trail experience — with a slightly longer wheelbase and slacker head and seat tube angles — to deliver a more playful/less aggressive position for trail riders.
120MM IN-LINE REAR SUSPENSION What does it do for you? In-line suspension is straightforward to set-up and provides a suppler ride quality and better small bump sensitivity than other systems. How does it work? The in-line design allows bump forces at the axle to travel directly to the shock for better bump absorption and a suppler feel.
XC TRAIL TRAIL RIDING IS ABOUT ENJOYING THE MOST DIVERSE TERRAIN — BE IT FAST CLIMBS, STEEP DESCENTS, OR THAT PERFECT STRETCH OF SWEET, FLOWY SINGLETRACK.

ENDURO TECH HIGHLIGHTS M5 ALLOY FRAME What does it do for you? 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. How does it work? 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. The “X-Wing” design with beefed up seat/ chainstays and tapered head tube delivers stiffness and durability at minimal weight. And our in-line rear shock with FSR technology provides 160mm of active, buttery travel that still remains firm under pedalling forces.
COMMAND POST ADJUSTABLE SEATPOST What does it do for you? 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. How does it work? 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 (125mm below) for maximum clearance and manoeuvrability on technical descents.

DEMO TECH HIGHLIGHTS M5 ALLOY DH FRAME What does it do for you? The new, sleeker frame design with 150 x 12mm thru-axle hub spacing prevents mud and debris from slowing you down or hanging you up. How does it work? 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 150 x 12mm rear end is strong, stiff, and compatible with most aftermarket DH hubs.
FSR SUSPENSION WITH SUB-SEATSTAY What does it do for you? Our independent and active FSR suspension gives you more traction, control, and conďŹ dence for steep descents and tight corners, while the sub-seatstay lightens the frame and lowers your centre of gravity for more stability. How does it work? 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 centre of gravity.
EXPERIENCE-TUNED SPECS What does it do for you? 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 ďŹ t the bike. How does it work? 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., to customise their performance.

ROCKHOPPER TECH HIGHLIGHTS M4 ALLOY FRAME What does it do for you? 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. How does it work? Fully formed tubes are individually shaped for their unique purpose, allowing our engineers to optimise tube sets for specific performance characteristics such as torsional stiffness or compliance. The butting process shaves excess material — and weight — in low-stress areas of each tube.
DAMPED FORK What does it do for you? Having a hydraulically-damped fork gives the Rockhopper real cross-country capability, dramatically improving bump absorption, steering precision, and tunability. How does it work? Magnesium and alloy parts minimise weight, and oil-regulated compression/rebound damping provides a smoother, more controlled ride over rough terrain.
HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKES What does it do for you? You can ride harder with more control and confidence thanks to consistent stopping power and brake modulation in all weather and trail conditions. How does it work? A slight pull on the lever pumps hydraulic oil to the calliper, which pushes the pistons into contact with the disc rotor. Hydraulic systems produce more power than mechanical brakes, which means increased power at the calliper and a more positive touch on the levers.

WOMEN’S TECH IT’S ABOUT THE SYSTEM, NOT JUST THE FRAME COLOUR Some companies make smaller versions of men’s bikes. Other companies simply change the frame colour. But Specialized focuses on real rider needs, using anthropometric research and feedback from female riders to create mountain bikes that improve ďŹ t, efďŹ ciency, and conďŹ dence. From custom-tuned suspension to generous standover height, every detail of our women’s mountain bikes is designed and engineered to improve and enhance your time on the trail.
FRAMES
CUSTOM-TUNED SUSPENSION
Every Specialized women’s MTB frame is developed from anthropometric research and riding experience to appropriately ďŹ t the female form. With smaller sizes, experience-speciďŹ c geometries, and the lowest possible standover heights, our women’s frames give female riders more control on the trail.
All of the suspension forks and rear shocks we spec on our women’s bikes (whether proprietary designs or not) are speciďŹ cally tuned and sized to suit female riders, so even the lightest riders will beneďŹ t from more comfort, control, and efďŹ ciency. › On air forks and shocks, we tune the spring curve to provide a plush initial ride and ramp more at the end of the curve, so women are able to utilise all of their suspension. Most shocks ramp up too soon, which essentially becomes wasted travel. › On coil-sprung forks, we use lighter weight, size-speciďŹ c springs.
WOMEN’S-SPECIFIC COMPONENTS Whether grips, rotors, handlebars or cranks, our women’s components are tuned, designed, or specially selected to be proportional for women’s bodies and the way you ride.
CUSTOM TUBING We create custom tubes for all of our women’s MTB frames so they are lighter and smoother riding than over-built bikes for men. This makes our bikes climb and accelerate faster, while also making them more compliant.
2011 SPRING CURVES STD MEN VS. STD WOMEN
Women’s spring rates (blue line) are tuned for lighter average rider weights than our men’s bikes (red line). This creates a plusher ride and helps female riders utilise all of the travel provided.

SAFIRE TECH HIGHLIGHTS WOMEN’S M5 ALLOY FRAME What does it do for you? You get the best fitting and most versatile women’s full-suspension bike, with ultra-low standover height and full water bottle clearance on all sizes. How does it work? Designing the bike from the ground up with a three-piece top tube and shock carriage enables us to create in-line suspension, so we can reach our lofty women’s design targets in terms of standover, kinematics, and bottle clearance. Women’s XC Trail geometry gives the bike balanced climbing and descending capabilities for diverse terrain.
CUSTOM-TUNED 120MM SUSPENSION What does it do for you? Tuning our suspension for women (based on lighter average rider weights) keeps the ride quality plush and helps you utilise all of the provided travel, so you get a more capable and confidence-inspiring ride. How does it work? By designing the bike and suspension in tandem through Total Suspension Integration, we can achieve completely balanced performance that’s appropriate to the bike and rider. Extensive field testing and research on women’s centre of gravity and weight distribution helps us determine the optimal suspension spring rates for female riders.
FSR What does it do for you? Our patented FSR suspension system helps you expend less energy on climbs and descend with more traction, control, and confidence. How does it work? Strategic pivot points at the rear of the bike separate suspension from drivetrain and braking forces to create a fully active, fully independent system that eliminates bob and squat (two things that rob the rider of energy and control).

Fabian Cancellara rides the Roubaix SL3 to yet another win at the bike’s namesake race, Paris-Roubaix. Is three years of winning on the cobbles proof that smoother is faster? We think so.
SMOOTHER IS FASTER MORE CONTROL / LESS FATIGUE / HIGHER SPEEDS / HAPPIER RIDERS
A smoother ride really can be faster. And the key ingredient is vertical compliance. By allowing the frame to flex in a vertical plane, vertical compliance smoothes your overall ride, reduces fatigue by absorbing forces from the road, and increases control by riding “over” bumps, not “into” them. Through bikes like the Roubaix, Ruby, Dolce and Secteur, we’ve focused on balancing compliance and stiffness to give you high performance without the harsh ride.
PLUSH STAYS The seatstays on our road bikes are engineered for vertical compliance.
VIBRATION DAMPING Zertz viscoelastic dampers in the fork and seatstays filter vibrations from the road, so your body doesn’t have to.
Our frames utilise a combination of Zertz dampers and shaped seatstays to offer the smoothest ride without compromising speed and efficiency.

TARMAC TECH HIGHLIGHTS FACT IS CARBON FRAME What does it do for you? Speed-hungry riders get a crazy light and fast bike—with industry leading stiffness-to-weight—that also excels at precision handling for added control and confidence. How does it work? Our most advanced carbon construction method divides the frame into four monocoque sections—with carbon fibres running continuously from tube to tube within each section—for more precise optimisation of tubes shapes, sizes, and joints.
TAPERED HEAD/STEERER TUBE What does it do for you? This increases strength and stiffness for better steering precision on speedy descents or tight corners. How does it work? The head tube tapers from 1-1/8" at the top to 1-1/2" at the crown and integrates with a recessed lower bearing to create a stronger, stiffer interface. Since carbon is strongest when it maintains a smooth line, this gradual transition of fibres from top to bottom eliminates the potential for weak spots.
SL3 FRAME CONSTRUCTION What does it do for you? Our top-of-the-line frame construction optimises weight and stiffness in every part of the frame for greater acceleration, efficiency, and handling. How does it work? Our proprietary one-piece chainstay/BB minimises flex at the critical power transfer junction where crank arms meet frame. The BB, as well as the head tube, use internally raised ribs to optimise fibre alignment for greater stiffness, while hollow dropouts and headset cups cut weight to a minimum.
TRICKLE-DOWN TECHNOLOGY What does it do for you? Trickle-down technology carries the performance benefits of our legendary S-Works level bikes (highest tier—ridden by our pros) to every Tarmac we create. How does it work?
COMPETITIVE
Our Pro and Expert level bikes use the same SL3 construction as our S-Works models, but feature a different carbon layup. The Comp and Elite bikes share technology like triangulated seatstays, even using the same moulds as our SL2 frames.
WHETHER YOU WANT TO RULE THE ROAD, TRACK, OR CYCLOCROSS COURSE, THESE LIGHT AND STIFF BIKES ARE BUILT FOR ALL-OUT PERFORMANCE, SPEED, AND RACE-DAY DOMINATION. THROUGH INNOVATIVE FRAME CONSTRUCTION, SUPERIOR MATERIALS, AND TOP-SHELF SPECS, WE’VE MADE THESE BIKES THE ABSOLUTE PINNACLE IN THEIR CLASS, FOR FAST RIDERS AND RACERS EVERYWHERE. JUST ASK OUR PROS.

ROUBAIX TECH HIGHLIGHTS SL3 CONSTRUCTION What does it do for you? If you want the comfort, but don’t want to sacrifice speed or power transfer, this construction optimises weight and stiffness in every part of the frame for greater acceleration, efficiency, and handling. How does it work? Our proprietary one-piece chainstay/BB minimises flex at the critical power transfer junction where crank arms meet frame. The BB, as well as the head tube, use internally raised ribs to optimise fibre alignment for greater stiffness, while hollow dropouts and headset cups cut weight to a minimum.
CARBON SEATSTAYS WITH IN-ZERTZ What does it do for you? Our specially moulded stays increase rear-end compliance for a smoother ride, while newly designed In-Zertz dampers reduce fatigue over the long haul. How does it work? Our new seatstay design allows us to use less carbon fibre in the layup, while increasing vertical compliance. The In-Zertz dampers are affixed to a carbon cavity in the stays to further reduce road vibrations.
INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING What does it do for you? Keeps grit and grime out of cable housings for better shifting and braking performance in all conditions. How does it work? All brake and shifter cables are routed from the handlebars through the frame tubes, exiting at the BB and back end of the top tube and chainstay. Back cable guides are removable for easier maintenance.
COBRA HEAD TUBE What does it do for you? Improves torsional stiffness at the front of the bike for quicker, more predictable handling, while maintaining enough vertical compliance to keep your ride smooth. How does it work? By manipulating the geometry of this junction, we make gains in stiffness without having to use an overly brittle fibre that would sacrifice compliance. Widening the top tube and down tube eliminates flat spots behind the head tube for greater frame stiffness.
Fabian Cancellara leads the peloton through the Arenberg Forest en route to victory at the 2010 Paris-Roubaix.

GEOMETRY Every Specialized women’s road bike features experience-specific geometry that’s designed to fit women’s bodies for the perfect fit and optimal handling—whether adapted for racing, endurance, fitness, or recreation. Frames are offered in sizes down to 44cm.
INTEGRATION Each road frame and fork is designed in tandem to create the lightest, stiffest, and most comfortable combination. This level of control over the bike allows us to pioneer features that reduce weight and improve steering precision.
700C WHEELS Thanks to the ultra-refined geometry developed by our female product managers, even the smallest of our road bikes uses full-sized 700c wheels for a smoother ride and universal compatibility.

RUBY TECH HIGHLIGHTS WOMEN’S FACT IS CARBON FRAME What does it do for you? This frame design will help you ride longer and faster with greater comfort and control because we’ve managed to increase vertical compliance, while also improving pedalling efficiency and handling. How does it work? The new frame layup uses an oversized down tube (with a flare at the head tube), BB, and chainstays to increase torsional stiffness by 15% and BB stiffness by 13%; triangulated seatstays increase vertical compliance by 9% to keep the ride plush, and our endurance-focused geometry features a longer wheelbase for more stability.
ZERTZ INSERTS What does it do for you? Our proprietary Zertz damping inserts absorb road vibrations to minimise fatigue and give you a more comfortable ride, even over the roughest surfaces. How does it work? Vibrations travel from the road up through the frame and fork. Putting dampers at the mid-section of each seatstay and fork leg helps dissipate these vibrations before they reach your hands and body.
WOMEN’S-SPECIFIC COMPONENTS What does it do for you? Women’s size-specific components including saddles, handlebars, and cranksets optimise the fit and performance of the whole bike for the female anatomy. How does it work? We spec each bike individually based on frame size, geometry, and women’s fit research. Pressure mapping studies help us optimise the foam densities and cut-aways in our saddles to relieve soft tissue discomfort.

SADDLE TECHNOLOGY
JENS VOIGT POWERING TO THE WIN AT TOUR DE CATALUNA.
DEVELOPED WITH ERGONOMIC EXPERT DR. ROGER MINKOW, M.D., OUR BODY GEOMETRY ROAD SADDLES ARE MEDICALLY TESTED TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON SENSITIVE AREAS FOR ALL-DAY RIDING COMFORT
BG CUT-OUTS AND GROOVES The anatomically designed BG cut-out or groove takes pressure off arteries and soft tissue for improved blood flow and comfort. Pressure mapping research helps us determine areas of high/low pressure so we can optimise the design of each saddle.
Pressure mapping image of Specialized Body Geometry Dolce women’s saddle (left) and competitor women’s saddle (right). Red indicates zones of highest pressure discomfort.
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.

GLOVE TECHNOLOGY
TYLER ANDERSON WAITS FOR FRIENDS TO CATCH UP WHILE RIDING IN FRUITA, CO.
FEATURING BG PADDING AND AN MTB-SPECIFIC DESIGN, BODY GEOMETRY GLOVES ARE DESIGNED WITH ERGONOMICS EXPERT DR. ROGER MINKOW, M.D., TO IMPROVE RIDER COMFORT, ENDURANCE, AND BAR CONTROL
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 at-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 at hand position on the bar for greater control.

APPAREL TECHNOLOGY
WHEN IT COMES TO SPECIALIZED APPAREL, WE OPT FOR QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. OUR HIGH QUALITY FABRICS, TIME-TESTED TECHNOLOGIES AND CYCLING-SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR COMFORT ON OR OFF THE ROAD
DESIGN DETAILS IMPORTANT FABRIC TECHNOLOGIES
Therminal™ Tights and Warmers Our innovative Therminal material, used in several models of tights and warmers, provides lightweight insulation in a variety of flattering and functional designs. This nylon/spandex blend with air-trapping looped back creates warmth, durability and enough stretch to move with the body.
Therminal™ Ex Deflect Tights Therminal EX fabric is used exclusively in our wind-shielding Deflect Tight styles to provide even more insulation and warmth during cold weather cycling. This robust version of our Therminal fabric offers just as much stretch as the original, with increased weight and loft for maximum protection against the elements.
SMART ASS CHAMOIS DESIGN CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHTS Specialized apparel uses many unique construction techniques that we’ve developed specifically to enhance the cycling experience for riders of all types and levels. Smart zipper construction
» Smart zipper construction - Semi auto-locking zippers: With zipper pointed up, riders can simply tug at front of jersey to “unzip” for maximum ventilation - Two-way front zippers on jackets allow easy access to jersey - Zippers with draft flaps add protection and warmth in cooler weather
» Seam placement is engineered to avoid potential areas where chafing could occur
» Cycling-specific panel shapes and contours are designed to maximise comfort on the bike
» Custom silicone grippers securely hold the garment in position without chafing or irritating the skin
» Double-needle construction creates a sleek look that highlights the function of the garment without looking overly industrial
Element Soft Shell Jackets and Vests Our midweight Element Soft Shell fabric combines a water-resistant nylon/spandex outer layer with soft polyester fleece inside to provide just the right balance of warmth, loft and air flow to keep you comfortable.
» All internal labelling is done with heat transfers or screen printing to prevent irritation and chafing caused by internal labels
Riders looking for different functions from their performance-quality chamois pads no longer have to settle on one type of pad – a higher end, thicker chamois or lower end, thinner chamois. Specialized has focused on expanding and repositioning our high-end pads to address two different camps of cyclists or cycling experiences. With the help of medical doctor and ergonomic designer Dr. Roger Minkow, we offer two BG pro-level pads of varying thickness and function: one for maximum protection from pressure or for longer, endurance rides, and the other for shorter rides or for those who prefer a more direct feel on the bike; but both are for riders who refuse to sacrifice quality or function. RBX CHAMOIS highest level of padding for pressure-free performance Experience: You’re either heading out for a long ride or you want a completely cushioned feel on the bike Benefit: Customised cushioning in all the right spots, little to no friction/pressure, ultimate endurance Construction/Material: Triple density - high density foam in sit bone area, mid density foam in perineals, lower density throughout. Heavier construction and denser fabric on the short for durability
UPF 50 Jerseys: Sunscreen in a Fabric Perfect for spring to autumn riding, UPF 50 jerseys make it easy to stay protected from the sun while riding. Our men’s Solar Jet and women’s Solar Vita use advanced knit and fibre techniques to deliver 2-3 times the sun protection of a normal jersey (50% vs. ~20%), without diminishing or wearing out over time. UPF 50 fabric contains 100% polyester in a high-density knit that’s extremely lightweight and hydrophobic, so it’s just as performance-ready as the rest of our cycling apparel.
SL CHAMOIS lower level of padding for freedom of movement Experience: Ideal for your shorter, more intense rides or when you’re looking for a supple feel on the bike Benefit: Focused cushioning, light weight, flexibility, more freedom of movement in the saddle Construction/Material: Double-density moulded foam in a focused pattern. Lighter fabric, mesh panels and minimal construction on the short
Fieldsensor™ & VaporRize™ Jerseys and Shorts These high performance moisture-transfer fabrics use one-way capillary action to effectively transport perspiration away from the skin, keeping you comfortably dry during even the most intense exercise. The unique construction of each fabric pulls moisture to the outer surface where it’s dispersed for quick and easy evaporation. With proper care, the fabrics’ moisture transferability will never diminish or wash out.
Deflect™ Jackets and Vests Our Deflect jackets and vests use a micro-denier polyester that’s H2O-repellant and enhanced with a durable water-resistant coating to protect against wind and rain. Extremely lightweight and packable, these pieces have just enough stretch to move with your body, without a lot of wind flutter.
What about the Comp? With quality, function and design that matches many of our competitors’ high-end pads, all of our BG Comp pads support key pressure areas with single density foam that’s purpose-moulded into different thicknesses for pressure relief. Perfect as a starter piece or staple product for recreational riders.
Aqua Veto Jackets & Trousers These waterproof pieces feature a unique 2.5 layer fabric with a stretch polyester outer layer, waterproof polyurethane inner layer and inner surface with a subtle texture that protects the polyurethane layer from being compromised. The stretchable Aqua Veto fabric moves with your body, while providing waterproof yet breathable protection; it’s rated to 10,000mm water resistance, with a MVTR rating of 10,000g/m2/24 hours (10,000 grams will “breathe” through a square metre in 24 hours).
