Specialized Camber Comp 650b Disc Mountain Bike 2017

Specialized Camber Comp 650b Disc Mountain Bike 2017

Catering to everyone is a hard task, and the divide between 29er and 650b riders is forever growing wider. The 29er rolls faster and maintains greater momentum, but the 650b gives greater manoeuvrability and is inherently lighter. With the Specialized Camber Comp 650b Disc Mountain Bike 2017, Specialized has ensured the 650b is faster - giving it greater handling and the ability to take on greater impacts, without adding any weight.

The M5 alloy Trail frame is lightweight, strong and responsive enough to allow you to take on a wide variety of terrain; from long endurance rides in the British countryside to the ever changing and testing trails of Tirol, Austria. Using Specialized’s Trail 650b Geometry, the Camber has the feeling and stability of being at home on both the climbs and manoeuvring through technical rock gardens, too.

It’s all well and good having a frame that’s forgiving and allows you to ride how you want, but Specialized know you need a front fork and rear shock partnership that’ll soak up the impacts and give you a more comfortable ride. This is why they’ve partnered the highly capable 130mm travel of the RockShox Revelation RL 27.5 front fork and a FOX FLOAT Performance rear shock with Rx Trail Tune. These two systems are renowned in the cycling industry for their durability and fine-tuned ability to take on anything the trails throw at you.

Braking is covered with the help of Shimano’s M506 hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes modulate heat build up effectively, meaning it doesn’t matter if you’re riding blind on a trail or taking it easy, you’re safe in the knowledge that they’ll give the same performance at the top as they do at the bottom.

SRAM GX, 11-speed gearing is what sets this bike apart from the rest of the market, though. Its strength and reliability when on the trail is unparalleled at this price point, giving enough spin to conquer technical uphill terrain, and staying stiff for sprinting along the flats and soaking up the miles. The Camber’s rear end is also shorter than any other rear end on the market, giving it a nimble ride feel and easier internal cable routing for more reliable shifting.

Specialized disc wheels and Specialized Purgatory Control/Specialized Ground Control tyres provide greater grip and puncture protection for long days in the saddle and more technical conditions. These 650b tyres and wheels enhance manoeuvrability, without adding weight or reducing efficiency. You can hit berms at higher speeds and roll around rock gardens easier than ever before with this incredible combination.
