Overview
About this bike
Specialized's Era Expert Carbon 29 is ready for XC domination — from World Cup racing to blowing by your friends on after-work rides. This carbon rocket features 100mm of Specialized's world-renowned, Brain-controlled FSR rear suspension that delivers hardtail-like efficiency on smooth sections and fully-active travel through technical terrain. This women's-specific ride features the geometry and components to be your ultimate XC weapon. Up front, the RockShox SID fork with Brain technology boasts 100mm of trail-smoothing, corner-carving precision. The 1x11 SRAM drivetrain is powered by svelte SRAM carbon cranks to give you all the push you'll need and more. When it's time to slow down to earthly speeds, Shimano's Deore XT discs get it done, while the carbon Roval 29er wheels and trail-hugging, tubeless-ready tires are ready for any XC course. In addition to the bar-setting Specialized grips, saddle, and seatpost, this Era comes decked out for pack-free adventure with Specialized' Zee bottle cage, SWAT multi-tool, and top cap chain tool.
