Overview
About this bike
Who likes riding uphill? The Specialized Fate Elite 29 does, and thanks to its lightweight fame and setup, you will too. Women's geometry with a lower, longer, go-fast position shapes the M4 aluminum frame. The fit has plenty of standover and offers nimble handling and snappy acceleration. The Fate's specially-tuned RockShox suspension fork and fast-rolling 29-inch wheels maintain momentum to let you float over bumpy terrain with ease. Rounding out the build are powerful Shimano Deore brakes, a mountain-topping 20-speed SRAM/Shimano drivetrain, quick-rolling Fast Trak tires, and a Specialized's women's Body Geometry saddle.
