Specialized Crave Expert Mountain Bike 2014 - Hardtail MTB
The Specialized Crave Expert 2014 hardtail mountain bike takes the Crave model up a level with a more functional fork amongst some great components and a well-designed frame.
The RockShox Reba RL 29 fork has a Solo Air spring, Turnkey remote lockout and external rebound adjust along with a lightweight tapered alloy steerer for precise handling. The M4 aluminium frame is light and stiff with XC 29er geometry, with a tapered headtube for added front-end stiffness and bridge-less seatstays for over-bump compliance. The Specialized Ground Control front tyre and Fast Trak Control rear tyre are light with great traction and less rolling resistance. Finally, the Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes give amazing braking power without adding too much weight and the Shimano SLX rear derailleur gives quick shifting.
The Specialized Crave Expert 2014 hardtail mountain bike is ideal for speed over rough ground, due to its lightweight but sturdy construction.
