The previous gen ,5.0x was so beautiful, the aesthetic is a back step on the new ones

The look is not the best but the way it rides and performs is very smooth!

Curious what size is the bike and how tall are you?
@bikesandbalding7 күн бұрын
This bike was a s3 which would be to small for me. I'm 6 ft tall and I would rather the s5 personally.

Can’t wait to visit back in the US from Thailand where I’m retired .But I bought one of these a few months ago and had it sent to my buddies where I’m staying in Myrtle Beach for 2 weeks . I have a Trek and Scott mountain bikes here in Thailand but wanted something a bit more fun to ride and comfortable at age 70 ! Thanks for the video

This bike is comfortable and fun to do anything. I came from the BMX background and this holds up to anything you through at it. Hydro disc is the best thing added to this base model

$12k?

12k from specialized website mrsp yes but from your local mom and pop shop we can get you better pricing
@user-rz9nj8cj5v17 күн бұрын
Imagine spending north of 12k for a bike and it gets thrown together like that. No carbon grease on the cockpit assembly, not a torque meter in sight. Man, that workshop is a tip, I would be embarrassed to put that video online. Have some pride in your workplace and clean that sh*t up, imagine if the paying customer came to the back of the shop to see where their bike was carefully assembled - I bet that would be the last time they visited your store.

What is the zipper that you installed in the neck? What is its benefit?

That's the future shock system from specialized. Gives the rider 20mm of travel to smooth your ride

What's the difference between this and the comp? And does any of them come with through axles

I don't believe any come through axle.

@207greenroom20729 күн бұрын
I think the biggest difference is the comp is Nine gear i think this one is 11 or possibly 12.

Is there a difference between the 2022 and 2024 model? besides the color of course
@bikesandbaldingАй бұрын
I believe color changed as well as what components come on the bike. Current year I believe the rear der is a micro shift with advent shifter. Still a non tubeless wheelset and tire combination. But fun affordable bike to get into the hobby

Things I like from big S are their contact points. Tires, saddles and hand grips mostly good to go from the start, no matter what range of bike you choose.

I bought a Rockhopper in 2017 and over the years I upgraded pretty much everything. Now it is unrecognizable. Sram GX 1X12, Fox 32 stepcast fork, DT swiss 1700 wheelset, Vittoria Barzo/Mezcal tires, dropper post, Shimano XT brakes, chester pedals, upgraded Sram BB, carbon 750 mm handlebar, Ergon seat. The idea was I buy a better frame like a Specialized Epic HT and just use the components but I haven't yet. I'm pretty sure if you added all that up I paid 2-3 times on upgrades over the years than the actual bike cost. But I love it.

Brakes rubbed until I trued the rotors. But after the test ride and re alignment it was great. I built 2 and both came out great. And it wheelies great to!
