Overview
About this bike
Pure. Simple. Fast. Whatever word you want to use for it, Specialized's Crave 29 can be summed up in just one: FUN. Made with their M4 butted aluminum, the frame was already a perfect specimen of light-n-stiff craftsmanship. Short chainstays and a tapered head tube with a 100mm Manitou fork dissects tricky sections and slices-n-dices turns like an L.A. surgeon. Add big, 29er Specialized wheels with versatile knobby tires, and there is pretty much nothing that gets in your way. SRAM and Shimano combine for a 2x10 drivetrain, while Tektro puts the clamps on with their disc brakes. It's pure, simple, fast, and fun for sure.
