Specialized Globe Live 2 '12

Specialized Globe Live 2

If you want to get around the town and country in greater ease you will find the Globe Live, with its Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub gear, less effort to ride than the singlespeed Globe Live 1.

This bike is designed around its (removable) front rack. And what a rack. It's aluminium and it has a wooden base to support, for instance, a crate or a dog basket.

• The Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal hub gear is the epitome of quality, versatility and simplicity.
• With the gear change mechanism enclosed inside the hub, a Shimano Nexus transmission tends to last longer and require less maintenance than a derailleur drivetrain.
• With Shimano Nexus you can even change gear while the bike is stationary - this can be dead handy if you have to stop at a junction and you find yourself in too high a gear to set of at a comfortable cadence.

Commuter Bike Sizing Guide.

'The Live 2 is a light-duty utility bike offering classic urban style and functionality to carry groceries, a laptop, art supplies, or anything that suits your mood: with internal 8-speed gearing for low-maintenance performance.'
