Frame

A semi compact design with cyclocross geometry create a stiff and agile frame for tight turns and explosive acceleration. An easy to shoulder frame makes hopping over barriers and off-the-bike sections easier.

The Elite X1 is constructed from FACT 10r carbon composite. It combines all the responsiveness and rigidity of 11r with a minimal weight gain. An oversized bottom bracket area and bolt thru axles improve stiffness for explosive acceleration.

A Specialized CG-R FACT Carbon seatpost with elastomer inserts enhances compliance to help take the sting out of riding.

Components

Equipped is a SRAM Rival 11 speed groupset including hydraulic disc brakes and chainset. The one by set up with a 40T ring is simple to use and take front shifting out of the equation. You have less chance of dropping a chain and the whole package is lightweight.

Axis 4.0 disc wheels are super tough to take the impact of rugged CX racing, yet lightweight to get you up to speed faster. The rims are wrapped in tubeless ready Terra Pro CX tyres.
