You want to ride mainly on sporty excursions? Then you will love the Specialized Racebike. On very narrow trails, you will love the playful handling. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Specialized Racebike, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 1000 Eurouse higher quality components. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Specialized engineers. For 875 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Specialized is behind its products.
