Specialized Expedition Elite
The elite version of Specialized's comfort bike features a Shimano Acera 24-speed Rapidfire transmission (over Shimano 21-speed Tourney/Altus Revo twist shifters) and the even more puncture resistant Armadillo version of Specialized's Hemisphere 26x1.95" tyres.
Same as Specialized Expedition Sport
- Lightweight aluminium Body Geometry frame with relaxed head angle, low top tube and low bottom bracket makes the bike light, manageable and stable. The low bottom bracket, for instance, makes it easier to dab a toe when you stop.
- The long head tube makes the handlebars higher. For most riders this design helps reduce or alleviate strain on wrists and back, and pressure from the saddle.
- Riser bars are fitted to an adjustable rise stem, making it even easier to get your riding position just right.
- 63mm-travel suspension forks soak up the few bumps that Specialized's Hemisphere 26x1.95” tyres don't.
- With its medically-proven Body Geometry grips and Super Comfort Plus web-sprung saddle on a suspension seatpost, you're made aware of this bike's comfort from the outset.
'Lighter weight and 8-speed rear drivetrain make the Expedition Elite more responsive and versatile, while its Armadillo tyres help ensure you won't be slowed by a flat.'
