Specialized Mountain Bikes

      At times the Specialized crew's obsession does seem a little sick (fully), however their fanaticism and consistent strive to create ever better bicycle technologies really pays off. In 1981, Specialized revolutionised the way the world thought about biking when they presented mountain bikes to the public. The bike Specialized offered up was called the Stumpjumper, and it changed biking by allowing bikes onto the unpaved and rocky roads of the great outdoors. Specialized now have a huge range of mountain bikes to choose between: From dual suspension to hardtail, from cross country through to downhill. The founder of Specialized, Mike Sinyards' contribution to mountain biking is recognised in the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame, when he was honoured in 1998. There's no denying the validity of the reputation of Specialized's mountain bikes.

The driving factor behind Specialized is their unique "experience" philosophy, when they set out to design a mountain bike the motivation of the rider is the key attribute to all design choices made. Every frame feature, suspension attribute and key component must tie together to create a package that delivers the intended experience. The end result is a range of mountain bikes that cater to a range of rider motivations, skill levels and aspirations. Whether you fancy yourself as a downhiller, a competitive cross country racer or an all-round trail master there is a family of Specialized mountain bikes to suit.
