Overview
About this bike
Pure. Simple. Fun. Whatever word you want to use for it, Specialized's Carve SL 29 can be summed up in just one: FAST. Made with their M4SL butted aluminum, the frame was already a perfect specimen of light and stiff craftsmanship. Then, they made it a singlespeed to really make it float up climbs and accelerate like a shot. Short chainstays and a tapered head tube with a carbon rigid fork dissects tricky sections and slices-n-dices turns like an L.A. surgeon. Add big, 29er Specialized Carve SL wheels with versatile Ground Control tires, and there is pretty much nothing that gets in your way. SRAM supplies custom SS cranks with 32/20 gearing, while Avid gives you their incredibly popular Elixir brakes. Don't be surprised when you find yourself waiting for your crew to catch up.
