Specialized Bikes

The carbon version of the Specialized Sirrus started out as an urban fitness/commuting bike, then morphed into something that's also aimed at gravel riding. Its latest incarnation continues along those lines, but with a striking new frame design.

Last year, Specialized announced that it was branching out with a dedicated effort to persuade commuters to leave the car at home and ride into town on two wheels instead. Now the Globe Haul ST has launched as the first fruit of that vision.

Premium bike maker Specialized has announced a more capable update to its Turbo Tero ebike that's described as "the SUV of the ebike world" and is designed to help you and your gear get where you need to be, no matter the terrain.

For six years now, Specialized has featured a mini front shock absorber known as the Future Shock above the head tube of its gravel bikes. The just-announced Diverge STR, however, also sports a new Rear Future Shock that provides 30 mm of rear suspension travel.

One of the world's largest bicycle brands ups its ebike game with a dedicated brand encouraging commuters to ditch the car and get on an electric bike. Specialized's Globe brand will carry the torch of getting more butts into ebike saddles.

Gravel bikes are growing in popularity not just among backcountry trailblazers, but among commuters chasing road-bike-like geometries and greater comfort. The latest from Specialized brings incredible lightness to the table, too.

Specialized has released a super light edition of its Turbo Como city ebike, which features an internal gear hub, smooth motor assist to 28 mph and a per charge range of over 60 miles, or farther by installing an optional range extender.

The third generation Specialized Turbo Levo e-MTB sports a full carbon chassis and mixed wheel setup with a completely reworked geometry, all backed by a 565-W peak power mid-mount motor that provides assist up to 20 mph and produces 66 lb.ft of torque.

Because they're quickly outgrown and have to take a lot of abuse, toddlers' bicycles often seem kind of cheap and clunky compared to "real" bikes. For parents who just don't want to go that route, Specialized is now offering the Hotwalk Carbon balance bike.

Specialized has launched super light versions of its commuter ebike, claiming that they're 40 percent lighter than much of the competition. The Turbo Vado SL ebikes will offer assist up to 28 mph and should be good for 80 miles of per charge range.

Specialized has teamed up with Carbon, to create a 3D-printed saddle that's comfier than "old school" foam-filled models.

​​The e-bikes are coming and it’s safe to say most will be a whole lot heavier than what cyclists are used to, especially those plying their trade on lightweight road frames. In no small way, Specialized is looking to close the gap with its new S-Works Turbo Creo SL Founders Edition.
