Overview
About this bike
Don't try to label the Women's Safire FSR Expert. This legend is ready to rumble no matter where or how you ride. Its feathery women's-specific M5-aluminum frame with 120mm of Specialized's Brain-controlled FSR suspension scales the toughest climbs with ease while the long-travel shocks front and rear soak up roots, rocks and anything else you're brave enough to ride over or off. Plus, the quick-stopping Avid hydraulic-disc brakes provide precision control that lets you have more fun than ever. And, you can't beat the crisp-shifting Shimano/SRAM drivetrain. This sweet ride has reliable DT Swiss wheels and Crank Brothers clipless pedals, too!
