Specialized Pitch 650b Mountain Bike 2017
Hitting the trails for the first time need not be a daunting or uncomfortable process, at least not with the Specialized Pitch 650b Mountain Bike 2017. The frameset combines a lightweight and strong A1 premium aluminium frame and an SR Suntour suspension fork with 80/100mm of travel depending on the bike size.
In terms of the componentry that has been selected for this bike, Specialized have looked for easy-to-use and maintain parts that are more than capable of standing up to the rough and tumble nature of off road riding. Shimano mechanical BR-M375 disc brakes assure confidence-inspiring stopping power in both the wet and the dry while the Ground Control Sport tyres maintain traction over the loosest of surfaces.
A Shimano 8-speed groupset assures smooth shifting and a full range of gears that will allow you to put the power down over any terrain and gradient. Specialized's Body Geometry ergonomic expertise has gone into the Body Geometry Mountain saddle so when it comes down to sit down and pedal, you can do it in comfort.
Features
The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 Premium Aluminium in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support Specialized's acclaimed Sport Trail 650b Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that's extremely versatile, making it equally capable on the climbs and descents
Custom SR Suntour 650b fork pairs a coil spring with Specialized's Multi-Circuit Damping technology to eliminate any "pogo" effect by delivering 80/100mm (size-specific) of hydraulic damped suspension that smooths out rough terrain
A Shimano Acera rear derailleur is built to with durability in mind, so you can rest assured that you'll have a reliable shifting partner for the long trails ahead
