Sneak Peek: 2013 Specialized Stumpjumper, Epic and Carve



Woah! We've dug up some exclusive pics of next years' top sellers. Here we can see some new colour ways (Keep in mind all colours may not be coming to Australia), and if you look real close, some of the new bits and pieces they're coming with. Rock Shox has some hot new retro-style decals, and are those Magura disc brakes?! We're definitely seeing Fox's autosag shock appearing on more models, and SRAM still remains a popular gearbox in these early images. These are all 29ers, but don't worry for all the 26 loyalists out there; Stumpy's will have plenty of options in the 'small' wheels.

2013 Specialized Venge Super Record!


Hot off the presses - the super-hot-super-limited-edition Venge Super Record. Breaking all the boundaries, this bike spares no expense, sporting the latest Campagnolo electronic groupset, Zipp wheels and special edition colour way.

If the price isn't shying you away from pressing the button on getting one, maybe its availability will be the deal-breaker - "Only 99 will be available, because this one has my name on it." Mike Sinyard, Specialized Founder and President

If You Build It....


HEAPS of new S-Works frames have just arrived and now adorn the ceiling. Exotic, exclusive, waiting to become a complete bike. We just stare at them and imagine what they will soon become. These are performance workhorses of a rare kind. All these skeletons need is a bit of kit, a pair of wheels, some flesh and bone, then it's just you and the road.


We believe that's what it's all about. Bikes are simple in nature, so boundaries are perpetually being pushed to maximize that core platform to it's highest capable performance. The S-Works range of bike is the pursuit of that. It's the the combination of rider and engineer. These bikes are examples of the finest available products currently in the sport. The photos don't do them justice, and neither does hanging from the shop ceiling strung up by gear cables. This can be the year.

These frames are limited runs, special editions one of a kinds.

When Weight is all that Matters....


We get lots of cool new stuff through the shop every week. But every so often, something so gnarly shows up that we just have to share it.

S-Works, Tour De Cure and Dream Bikes



March was a fun month at the shop. Specialized has sponsored a number of racers for this year's Tour De Cure, and it has brought those racers through our doors searching for the ultimate bike for the job. A number of S-Works have (briefly) come and (quickly) gone. We've seen a few 2012 Roubaix, a Venge, and, below, a gorgeous featherweight Tarmac.


S-Works customers know what they're after before even stepping foot on our shop floor. The evidence that these bikes are the best in the industry built for top world competitors is in races being won around the world; Christoph Sauser and Burry Stander recently won the Abasa Cape Epic, riding Specialized Epic 29ers  and securing it by a whopping 27 minute margin over 780km.
