I must say that is Beautiful !

All we need now is reviews on how they ride?

 

[G-Force]

Looks like they took their Tarmac SL2 frame and put a fork on it! I bet that frame is stiff and fast!

[CHSAD]

Yeah, anything on the 29er's?

 

[Doesn't Matter]

I'd hit that.

 

[karlmalone1]

think that frame style will be on the base models?

I would think so, seeing as this is how the Hardrock looks too :thumbsup:

Well sweet i think it looks pretty cool. But do guys think there is any performance benefits from the new frame style (weight, rigidity, ect), or is just for looks? (I guess i'm looking forward to the new hardtails a lot, since i bought an 08 stumpjumper HT a few months back and it's been great, but if the new one is that much better, i may have to take a gander)

 

[Enduroblood]

Check out the 09 SL. Is that a handlebar mounted fork (attitude) adjustment lever on it? Pretty sweet.

 

[Truckee Trash]

Enduro I would venture to guess that Spesh is getting into the hydro seatpost market. . . seems like the next step or a likely parallel considering theyve got their own shock tech now. . . so I would guess that that lever is for the post. . . I think Shimano and Fox have the TALAS on the handlebar in the works. . . I like the idea of that.

 

[rockdhop]

haha...IMHO,spesh is just like nike.putting everything under their brand name.such as socks,shoes,hats,sandals,gloves.

for spesh,its frame,bb,saddle,suspension fork.what's next?led lights?

nope, they named their wheel brand Roval.

 

[rsato1]

Looks great, but still not too keen on the migration to proprietary components.

The rear dropouts look much cleaner now... as if a single-piece design with the seatstay/chainstays.

 

[wheelhot]

Wow, Specialized is really into curvy tubes next year

there are also pics of the seatpost so, yea i'd guess that's it

also notice the sx trail's front mech is a direct mount to the chainstay:

I believe that is for the adjustable seatpost.

I'm liking the new xc .....Is that a SID on the front?......

 

[wheelhot]

You are referring to the new Epic? Nope that is Spesh own fork for the Epic. I think its called FutureShock S100

No, I'm talking about the pic of the new FSRxc, which looks like it has a sid fork......
