2017 Ruby Elite
Home is the one place you can feel comfortable in your own skin. You can be yourself, invite people in, or close the door to the world. To be "at home" on the Ruby is to shut out the negative, to truly relax into who you are. If that's someone who's into the harshest of roads? Relish in them.

2017 Amira Comp
For some, roads always lead to long adventures in the mountains. For others, it's throwing down against rivals in spirited bursts of speed that test the limits in thrilling competition. But whatever you seek from your road rides, our women's road bikes are specifically designed to meet your needs.

The feeling that, when teamed up with a lightweight, high-performance machine, there’s no limit to what you can achieve together.

"The Specialized Amira is one of the most impressive performance road bikes on the market; designed for speed and capable of bringing out the inner racer you weren’t even sure existed. It’s a bike that begs you to let it show you what it can do and what you can do on it. If I ever stop riding stupidly long distances I’d be seriously interested in adding one of these to my stable." http://www.bikeradar.com/us/women/gear/category/bikes/road/product/specialized-amira-comp-review-51122/

Ryan recently purchased an All-City Nature Boy 853 frame and built it up with sick parts.
All-City Cycles is an awesome company, and if you've never heard of them, check them out:

Add in the All-City Signature singlespeed disc dropouts with disc brake mounts, and you're ready to build a party bike (All-City's most recent advertisement makes it known that they are the #partybrand).

2017 Allez E5 Elite Sagan World Championship Edition
The Allez range shows off the capabilities of aluminum, from Win Tunnel-tuned and ultra-stiff race rockets to fully capable all-rounders that serve as the perfect introduction to road riding.
"Of all the stars in the cycling universe, none shine brighter than Peter Sagan. That's why we chose to celebrate his World Championship achievement with a bike fit for the king of the road, the Allez E5 Elite – Peter Sagan World Champion Edition. It's constructed from our lightweight and ultra-stiff E5 Premium Aluminum to ensure that you get those most out of every watt that your legs can produce. More so, this construction makes for a bike that's equally capable for the road ahead, so you'll find it performing exceptionally on climbs, descents, and all-out sprints. Even better, these characteristics are all amplified by the Elite's exquisite & confident geometry and FACT carbon fiber fork. For the build, we went with a no-nonsense approach, opting for a Shimano Tiagra groupset, a stiff Praxis Alba crankset, and durable Axis sport alloy wheels."
MSRP: $1,150.00

2017 Epic Hard Tail Comp Carbon World Cup
This isn't just the lightest mountain bike frame Specialized has ever made; it's the lightest, stiffest, best-handling frame—period. The Epic Hardtail was redesigned from the ground-up to give you an unparalleled performance advantage on the XC track. It flies up hills with ease, descends with unmatched confidence, and wastes nary a watt. Consider it a cross country revolution, and remember, this is Epic.
For the Epic Hardtail Comp Carbon World Cup, Specialized took a revolutionary new frame design and spec'd it specifically for the rigors of racing at the highest level.
- By pairing a FACT 10m carbon fiber frame with our XC 29 Geometry, this Epic places a focus on tight tube angles and extremely light overall weight for explosive speed and nimble handling on the race circuit. For good measure, we also gave it 148mm rear spacing and all-new triangulated post-mount brake mounts.
- A custom RockShox Reba RL 29 fork offers up 90/100mm of smooth travel, while an easily accessible compression and rebound adjusts permit you to customize the feel according to the terrain at hand.
- 1x, 11-speed shifting is provided by a durable mix of SRAM GX and NX components.
Below, you can click to read a great First Ride Review of the Epic Hardtail from CyclingTips.com
"On the first uphill section, the bike proved to do exactly as claimed – go fast. Despite the steep, rocky and sandy uphill sections littered with other competitors, I was able to pedal and point the bike calmly from the saddle without the front wheel wandering away or having to correct it out of the saddle. The Epic’s real proving ground, though, was still to come." - by Markus Koch @ CyclingTips.com
Sequoia Elite
If you've ever felt torn between a "traditional" road bike and a dedicated touring rig, you're not alone. Now, though, the Sequoia Elite gives you both by combining the two in one genre-bending bike. It has everything you need to hit the road and not look back.
Consider the open road a blank sheet primed for a tale of adventure, and the Sequoia, your pen to write it with. It blurs the lines of convention, finding itself equally well versed on the road, in the dirt, and 200 kilometers deep into a bike tour. Give it a whirl, and it'll change what you expect from a "road" bike forever.
Bike Specs:
- The Sequoia is built from Specialized Premium Cr-Mo, size-specific tubing. This ensures that every frame is strong, light, and capable, while every frame size rides exactly as intended.
- This philosophy is furthered with the Specialized Adventure Geometry that provides ample confidence over rough and smooth terrain, alike.
- Digging into the details, the frame is outfitted with an ample number of mounts for water, racks, and fenders
- Hand-built Adventure Gear Hayfield wheels are cased in 700x42mm 2Bliss Ready tires to be burly and tough as a mule. It's the ideal wheelset for anyone looking to skip town and not look back.
- Shimano 105 Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Here's a great review from Bicycling.com of the Sequoia:
"Specialized has really thrown its resources at adventure riding and, as a result, seems to have knocked the Sequoia and related gear out of the park. I used to think that many riders who rode endurance-focused road bikes would be better off on a bike like the Diverge. Now, I think many of those could enjoy the versatility of a bike like the Sequoia." - Ron Koch, July 12, 2016
