2015 Specialized S-Works Era 29

Overview

About this bike

Start a new age of XC domination with the S-Works Era 29. The heart of this rocket beats through Specialized’s FACT 11m carbon frame that’s ultra-light, supremely stiff, and features their legendary FSR rear suspension that’s as smart as it is supple. The suspension incorporates a Mini-Brain shock that can tell the difference between rider input and terrain forces, giving you a smooth, amazingly efficient ride. The custom RockShox RS-1 fork not only utilizes a tapered carbon steerer and 15mm thru-axle for precision handling, it borrows the same Brain technology for a ride so silky smooth it has to be ridden to be believed. With the S-Works name comes only the very best, so the Era is draped in SRAM’s genre-defining 1 x 11-speed XX1 drivetrain. The stiff carbon crank turns nearly effortlessly while the single chain ring and wide ranging cassette offer blistering speed whether you’re aiming for Leadville or making your friends suffer. Magura MT8 disc brakes ensure confident braking in all conditions, tool-less reach adjustment, and lightweight, carbon 2-finger levers. On the ground, you’ve got Specialized’s Roval Control SL carbon wheels to maintain your speed through corners, over rocks, and up even the most grueling climbs with S-Works Fast Trak tires for traction and acceleration. On top of all of that, Specialized provides their SWAT system of strategically incorporated accessories, so you’ll have everything you need while riding. A multi-tool is integrated into the frame and a chain tool is stored in the top cap, so you can prepared out on the trail while carrying less in your pockets or pack. Plus, a Zee bottle cage makes hydration easy.
