Overview
About this bike
Specialized's Fate Expert Carbon 29er is designed by women, for women. The women's-specific performance geometry—with its lower, longer, go-fast position—shapes this incredibly lightweight FACT carbon frame. The frame has plenty of standover and sports nimble handling and snappy acceleration. The Fate's specially-tuned RockShox SID suspension fork, and 29-inch Roval carbon wheels, maintain momentum to let you float over bumpy terrain with ease. Rounding out the build are powerful Shimano Deore brakes, an efficient 1 x 11-speed SRAM drivetrain, grippy Fast Trak tires, and a Specialized's women's Body Geometry saddle.
