SPECIALIZED (www.specialized.com)
At Specialized, the in-house motto is "Innovate or Die," and few companies can boast the level of research and development that goes into as wide a range of bicycles that Specialized offer. From full-bore professional downhill rigs to ultralight, aerodynamic road bikes, to junior's very first two-wheeler, Specialized builds the right bike for the job.
Their patented FSR suspension linkage enjoys the distinction of being on the first full suspension bike to win a professional cross country race (thanks to Bart Brentjens), and is one of the most imitated designs in the industry. If you need a bike to get across town or just down to your local cafe, check out the Cossroads or Expedition series of hybrid and comfort bikes.
If dirt and air are what you crave, the FatBoy BMX line will deliver the goods. Don't forget: Specialized also offer a full line cycling accessories, clothing, and parts from helmets to hubs, including the famous Body Geometry saddle, proven to reduce cycling-related numbness and fatigue. Whatever your cycling needs, Specialized have got it covered.
Founded in 1974 and still owned by Mike Sinyard, the goal by everyone at Specialized has always been to create the best bikes and equipment in the world. Specialized design team has won award after award for innovation in design and triumphed in countless test comparisons, consistently producing bikes and equipment that keep Specialized the leader rather than one of the many followers. From sponsorship of road and mountain bike race teams to its support of IMBA and bikes belong coalition, Specialized has long backed industry and rider efforts to improve biking conditions on and off the road for all bikers.
