SPECIALIZED ADAPTALITE® AND NXT® TECHNOLOGIES Specialized Adaptalite photochromic optics let you focus on your ride, not changing lenses. Responding to varying light conditions in mere seconds, our Adaptalite lenses darken with the sun and lighten with the shade, giving you maximum visual clarity without distortion. And since our optics are cyclingspecific, your lenses come color optimized for specific terrains.

All of our optics are built out of NXT®, a special polymer formula originally developed to bullet-proof the windshields of Apache helicopters. With that kind of strength, plus optical superiority, light weight and scratch/static resistance, NXT is the closest a lens will come to optical immortality. Polycarbonate simply

GET THE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL OUT OF YOUR POWER TRANSFER. Specialized Body Geometry® shoes and footbeds are built to make the marriage between body and bike more productive, more comfortable and less painful.

VARUS WEDGE The Problem: Since the foot is naturally canted for walking and running (with the big toe higher than the little), that same angulation on a bike can cause rotational movement of the knee/shin/foot and cause the foot to collapse, which not only degrades efficiency, but creates knee pressure and strain.

The Problem: Similar to its angulation, the foot’s arch is great for absorbing shock when walking or running, thanks to its natural flex. But unless the arch is supported while on a bike, it can hinder pedaling efficiency and rob power on the downstroke. The Solution: The footbeds and outsoles of our BG shoes are constructed with Longitudinal Arch support, truly making every pedal stroke count in your favor.

METATARSAL BUTTON The Problem: Cyclists often experience “hot spots” or numbness in the forefoot while riding, due to the fact that a snug shoe can lead to the compression of nerves and arteries in between the metatarsals (long bones of the forefoot). The Solution: The Metatarsal Button in our BG shoes works against this problem by lifting and separating the metatarsals to eliminate related compression and discomfort.

S-WORKS ROAD

PRO ROAD

The first choice of our European Pro racers for its high performance and Roubaixenduring comfort, our feature-packed S-Works Road also takes the podium for being the lightest road shoe with a mechanical closure.

The choice of top Pro riders and anyone who wants a featherweight shoe that fits like a glove. Now with a redesigned full carbon sole and supple fitting upper.

• Lightest production road shoe with a mechanical closure—approximately 250g per pair

• New low profile and lighter weight M-lock SL buckle for secure closure

• Full BG features in the High Performance BG+ footbed to reduce hotspots and swelling and improve knee/foot alignment

• Lightweight FACT full carbon sole uses TorsionBox technology—11.0 stiffness index

• Lightweight Boa rotary closure for on the fly tune-ability and dynamic fit • Powerzone lacing option lets rider adjust tightening forces for the top and mid zones of the shoe to provide unprecedented fit and comfort • Stiff and light full FACT carbon sole—10.0 stiffness index

• Patented x-link™ closure system is redesigned for secure ankle control and unmatched adjustability

ROAD

All our BG shoes work to improve pedaling efficiency and prevent injury in three ways.

LONGITUDINAL ARCH

• Replaceable heel tread • Engineered Micromatrix upper is light, durable and supple fitting • 3-bolt cleat pattern fits Shimano SPD-SL, Look, Time and Speedplay • Approximate weight 255g per shoe

• Light, tough, water-resistant Micromatrix upper for supple comfort • 3-bolt cleat pattern fits Shimano SPD-SL, Look, Time and Speedplay

The Solution: We engineer a Varus Wedge into the outsole of our BG shoes, giving the foot a 1.5mm angle to compensate for its natural tilt. This creates better alignment of the knee over the foot, boosting efficiency and comfort. LONGITUDINAL ARCH

Then, there’s what you put in the shoes that makes a difference. BG High Performance Footbeds are available in three different levels to help riders fine tune the function of their cycling shoes and achieve a semi-custom fit: + = minimal, ++ = moderate, +++ = significant. Our footbeds are also accompanied by BG shims, which provide further fine-tuning of the rider’s forefoot (Varus/ Valgus) angle. METATARSAL BUTTON

MEDICALLY TESTED, SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BG® saddle designs take the pressure off your important parts, so the terms “saddle” and “sore” can remain exclusive.

BODY GEOMETRY MULTI-WIDTH SADDLES

MEN’S TOUPÉ GEL

We follow the doctor’s orders when it comes to saddle design because hours on a bike will quickly prove that an ill fitting or poorly designed saddle is, well, pure hell. Ergonomic designer and medical doctor Roger Minkow was the first person to present solutions for saddle pressure/dysfunction, and he helped us develop the specific shapes, contours and cutouts you’ll find in all of our Body Geometry saddles.

130 Centimeters

TECH

Though years in the saddle may have given you an opinion or two about what feels best, we always suggest getting fit to your bike. Your local Specialized dealer can either guide you through a comprehensive BG FIT session, or if saddles are your only concern, they can measure your actual sit bone width to find the perfect fitting saddle (all models are available in multiple sizes) for your body.

143 Centimeters

155 Centimeters

SADDLES TECH

MEN’S SADDLE DESIGN You’ve heard the rumors, and sadly they’re a reality. Studies prove that the pressure conventional saddles put on the pudendal nerves and arteries reduces penile blood flow within just a few minutes. But Body Geometry designs reduce this pressure by cutting away a precise center section of the saddle, thereby producing results comparable to sitting in a padded chair.

No two pairs of sit bones are the same. Skinnier saddles don’t necessarily work best for smaller riders, wider saddles for larger riders, and so on. Even the difference in sit bone width when riding in an upright or aero position is significant. There’s simply no cardinal rule for finding the best sized saddle for your body—meaning the one that will keep you riding longer and more comfortably—without measuring the distance between your sit bones (ischial tuberosities) and its relation to your positioning. If you want an accurate saddle fit, your local Specialized dealer can help.

Big brother to the Borough CX, this tire has a wider and smoother center section that rolls fast on paved or dirt roads. Adding larger shoulder knobs to the trusted Borough patterned tire also allows better performance off-road.

From paved road to dirt road to no road at all, the Borough CX is a single tread that can do it all—urban/commute, adventure riding/touring and even cyclo-cross racing— thanks to its smooth running center section and minimal hard-biting shoulder knobs.

How do you make the best mountain bike race tire in the world? By listening to our Pro teams’ suggestions. We answered the call with clipped center knobs for lower rolling resistance and shorter side knobs for a more secure bite under heavy cornering loads—all in a package that’s light and sealant friendly.

Developed by Christoph Sauser to meet the demands of the World Cup XC circuit and designed for those days when the race course shows no mercy…the SauserWind rolls fast, cleans well and bites in the soft corners, making it a true all-arounder for any serious racer. Comes in 2Bliss configuration, so the tire can be used with a tube or sealant.

When you have a bike with 150mm of travel, you better have a tire that can handle the trail, whether climbing or descending. The Eskar packs a large volume 2.3 casing and plenty of traction in the edge knobs, with a low rolling resistance center tread that won’t sacrifice braking or traction.

THE DESIGN IS IN THE DETAILS. From jerseys to shorts, outerwear and gloves, our high quality fabrics, time-tested technologies and cycling-specific construction techniques make a world of difference when it comes to your comfort on the road or trail.

Chamois Design. The best of both worlds—two pro-level pads for two very different experiences. 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

Smart Fabrics. FIELDSENSOR™ Moisture Transfer Material Our FieldSensor material is a staple of Specialized brand apparel, and there’s good reason why. When you sweat, the fabric pulls moisture through the garment and to the outside where it’s dispersed for quick and easy evaporation, keeping you dry and comfortable on every ride. Test it out yourself with selections from our apparel line, including BG Pro RBX shorts and Offset jerseys. If you don’t see a salt-ring on the outside of those shorts, you’re not working hard enough!

UPF 50 Sun-Screening Fabric

Beneﬁt: Focused cushioning, light weight, ﬂexibility, more freedom of movement in the saddle

Perfect for those hot summer months, our new jerseys with UPF 50 fabric make it easy to stay protected from the sun while riding. Our men’s Solar Jet Jersey (and women’s Solar Vita) uses advanced knit and ﬁber 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 still extremely lightweight and hydrophobic, so it’s just as performance-ready as the rest of our cycling apparel.

TECH

Construction/Material: Double-density molded foam in a focused pattern. Lighter fabric, mesh panels and minimal construction on the short

BG Glove Technology.

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

REQUESTED BY QUICKSTEP to stand up to the rough roads of the Paris-Roubaix, our BG road padding uses a greater padding surface area to distribute pressure broadly across the palm and protect the ulnar nerve, whether steering from the hoods, drops or top. RACE-PROVEN by XC World Champion Christoph Sauser, our BG mountain padding uses two smaller, thinner pads positioned at the heel of the hand to protect the ulnar nerve. The minimalist padding ensures a neutral “ﬂat” hand position on the grips for greater bar control during off-road pursuits. Learn more at www.specialized.com

Beneﬁt: Customized cushioning in all the right spots, little to no friction/pressure, ultimate endurance

APPAREL

Experience: You’re either heading out for a long, endurance ride or you want a completely cushioned feel on the bike

The key to our glove design has always been our Body Geometry gel padding, which cushions the ulnar nerve and reduces hand pressure by spreading compressive force from the bike. But this year’s road and mountain-speciﬁc glove designs with strategic padding will give riders even greater control and comfort.
