CLARO QUE TE CLAVO LA SOMBRILLA

SPECIALIZED ENDURO SL

All Mountain ENDURO SL. Sin duda el mejor modelo del sector All Mountain de la historia. Con una cifra en la báscula tan baja, tiene aptitudes escaladores como una bici de rallye; pero gracias a sus 150mm de suspensión se puede descender a tope por los terrenos más escarpados. Con ella te sentirás el dueño de la montaña

LAS MEJORES SUSPENSIONES. Tanto la nueva horquilla Specialized FS 150 como el amortiguador AFR son la referencia del mercado. Su comportamiento es ideal para el tipo de uso al que van destinadas las Enduro, es decir a tope por todas partes. Cuadro y resto de componentes están por supuesto a la altura de tan extraordinarias suspensiones.

Sauser Captures Marathon World Title

Christoph Sauser made the smart choice of riding a Specialized Epic with Brain technology and captured his first UCI world championship title by winning this weekend in Verviers, Belgium.

“The feeling of being World Champion is indescribable,” said Sauser after the finish of the nearly four-and-a-half hour race. “There were tears in my eyes when I crossed the line.”

Since 1999, the man from Windigen has been Mr. Consistent, with 11 World Cup wins, 2 overall World Cup titles and an Olympic medal. However, a world championship title is the one goal that had eluded the 31-year-old Swiss star.

From the start of the race, Sauser knew that he was on good form. “Right for the beginning, I had it right away,” said Christoph.

The race was decided after front runner Ralf Naf experienced a technical problem that took him out of the lead group. Naf’s demise was the signal for Sauser to distance himself from the rest of the field. He ultimately went on to win by over five minutes.

In The Beginning

The 2008 Fuel EX story actually begins in late 2005, riding "big bikes" on the CBC trail in Vancouver, BC. We were doing final shock tuning on the Session 10 and feeling pretty good about the bike. The geometry of the bike was dialed, the suspension felt awesome and for a 40-some lb bike with 10 inches of suspension travel, pedaling efficiency was incredible with no pedal feedback.
But there was one area we all felt could be a bit better. We really wanted a better feel through the harsh, high speed braking bumps. We wanted the bike to have more of a floating over the bumps feel instead of skipping over the tops of them.
That smoothness during braking and keeping the suspension working efficiently became the goal. But how to get there – that was the question.

Centerline Studies

In early 2006, we already had a few prototypes being worked on. We had numerous prototypes being worked on, including two dual-link style bikes being worked on ( a 5 inch version, and a 6 inch version). We were trying new stuff, improving existing stuff and generally trying to maximize the performance of suspension, braking, and pedaling efficiency.
Jim Colgrove, the father of OCLV, happened to be passing by my desk and asked an off the cuff question “why doesn’t anyone put the pivot right in-line with the hub axle?”Because I had my head wrapped so far around multi-link suspensions designs for the past few months, my gut reaction was, “Well, because it wouldn’t do anything – you’d still just have a single pivot bike.” A short discussion about wheel paths and brake locations followed.

The Official Launch

We got to be part of the “Big Show.” The new Madone was launched to the world at the Milwaukee Art Museum in a show / launch worthy of a car company.
The new Fuel EX was quietly included in the show in an audience of dealers and worldwide media. The number one question we got: “So when can I get one!?” But we also heard a number of people asking “how come no one else thought of this?” I don’t really know. How come we didn’t think of it earlier? But I can tell you one thing – I’m glad we did it first!

Winter Challenge

At this very moment, somewhere in the world a person is wiggling their toes into warm beach sand and another person is wiggling their frozen toes in a ski lodge trying to get feeling back to them. My Trek teammate Ross Schnell is that first person. For the past week, he's been banking some rest and recovery in Cabo, Mexico and getting the motivation engine fired up. I'm the ladder person. Au contrar to most professional cyclists, I've elected to stay home in Vermont for the winter and see actually how much frost bite my toes can take. Next weekend, on February 9th, I'm participating in one of my favorite winter events, The Winter Challenge, in Newport, Vermont. This race is not for the faint of heart as we will race on the snowmobile trails whether it's 30 below zero or 50 degrees and raining. And, you're required to ride with a fire starter and kindling, just in case. Those on the East Coast up for the challenge, registration closes on Friday. Put on all the riding layers you own and RIDE. -Lea Davison
