Specialized has always made some of the best bikes out there, but most recently, they’ve really broken away from the pack by designing some amazing bikes for women. By recognizing that there are some significant and common differences between male and female riders beyond average height, Specialized Women’s Bikes not only fit many female riders better than other brands, they also ride and handle better. Women specific frame and suspension designs combined with smart components packages make for bikes that are uncompromisingly designed for the needs and wants of all female riders. The trend continues for 2012 and we’re proud to have some new women’s specific 2012 bikes at the shop: the 2012 Amira Apex and Myka Sport Disc 29.
Well, it looks like when you make a great bike, you get might just win an award. We’ve been hyping the 2011 Specialized Tarmac Elite Apex as an enveloping pushing ride; a true entry-level carbon road bike that doesn’t compromise in terms of ride, handling, or performance. Now it looks like the rest of the industry is starting to take notice. Bicycling Magazine just announced that the Tarmac Elite Apex is their Editor’s Choice for Best Recreational Road Bike. Whether you’re looking for an affordable carbon race bike or an all day ride won’t leave you wanting for something a little faster, this is a bike worth considering. We have it in stock in all sizes, so come by and ride an Editor’s Choice.
The passage of time is a funny thing. There are times when we look back and think how quickly time flies by, but the very next moment an event in the recent past seems like it took place a lifetime ago.
Take the 2008 season. It was only three years ago, but the age of Quickstep as a super power – Tornado Tom in green, Paolo Bettini in world champ stripes and Olympic gold – seems like a lifetime ago. Since that time, Cav has risen, Lance has retired (again), and the most talent-rich team in the world might just be from Luxembourg.
The coming of the 2011 Â marks a birthday of sorts; the Specialized Tarmac SL2 is three years old. Why is that good? It means that same bike that was developed for and ridden by the best team of 2008 can now be yours for pennies on the dollar. Come in, test ride the 2011 Specialized Tarmac SL2 Elite with SRAM Apex, and whisper to yourself, in an Italian accent of course, “I am Specialized.”
The 2011 SRAM Apex 10 speed came out last summer, but the long-term reviews of SRAM’s entry-level road group are just starting to come in. We’ve always been huge fans of SRAM’s road groups and we’re especially stoked about the high-performance, high-value Apex group. We currently stock seven road bikes with Apex – Specialized Allez, Tarmac, Secteur, Roubaix, Dolce, Ruby, and Crux – so it should go without saying that we’re pleased to hear that BikeRadar can confirm what we already know: SRAM Apex offers near-elite level performance at an entry-level price.
The 2011 Specialized Allez Comp Apex is a bike reborn. The Allez – one of Specialized’s longest running models – has always been a sporty, nimble roadie, but this season it’s become a true racer. Read More »
