Up front, Future Shock 3.2 provides 20mm of tunable travel above the head tube. This system absorbs bumps and vibrations without compromising pedalling efficiency or steering precision, keeping you comfortable and in control on long, demanding rides. Paired with a FACT carbon fork, it adds confidence on gravel descents and technical sections.

Shifting is handled by the SRAM Apex AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, paired with a S-1000 Eagle AXS rear mech and a 10-52T cassette. This wide-range 1x12 setup gives you the gears for steep climbs, fast rolling terrain, and everything in between, all with the simplicity of a single chainring and the precision of electronic shifting.

Braking comes from SRAM Apex AXS hydraulic discs, providing consistent, powerful stopping performance in all weather and surface conditions. Whether you’re tackling loose gravel descents or braking late into corners, these brakes inspire total confidence.

The bike rolls on DT Swiss G540 tubeless-ready wheels, strong and dependable for gravel riding. They’re fitted with Tracer 700x45c tyres, which feature a fast-rolling centre tread and grippy shoulders for secure handling on mixed terrain.

A standout feature is Specialized’s SWAT 4.0 internal storage, cleverly integrated into the down tube. This allows you to store essentials like tools, spares, or nutrition securely inside the frame, keeping your pockets clear and your ride set-up neat.

Finishing kit includes a Roval Terra carbon seatpost with 20mm offset for extra comfort, a Specialized Adventure Gear Hover bar with a 12° flare for confident control, and a Body Geometry Power Sport saddle designed for long-distance support.
