MAKING YOUR next ride better.

BY RIDERS FOR RIDERS As far back as the 1970’s relyingon our passion for riding and keen desire to innovate,we started making new and different cycling products.Passion and innovation were the secrets to our earlysuccess and have been the bedrock of our business eversince. We never would have made breakthroughs like theoriginal Stumpjumper, carbon-and-titanium Epic Ultimate,or our FACT carbon frames and components if we didn’thave a limitless passion for riding and a desire to innovate.

Our company’s vision is to become the best cycling brandin the world, so it’s up to us to improve the ride of cyclists,regardless of the type of two-wheeled experience they’reseeking. While it’s never easy to imagine all the differentways a bicycle can be used, an acute understanding of arider’s desired experience was the point of departure forevery bike you see in this brochure.

Three decades on, Specialized is still true to its foundingprinciple - to focus on the rider’s needs for technicallyadvanced products that provide a true performancebene t. Our engineers are still coming up with new,market leading bikes outlined in this new mini brochurewhich covers our key bikes and innovations for 2009 –from the new S-Works Epic, Liam’s new Olympic bike,the S-Works Roubaix SL2, winner of the Paris-Roubaix,to the new Big Hit and Crosstrail models.

We still have an amazing passion for riding and for creating

innovative bicycles. Thanks to passionate cyclists whobelieve in Specialized and the gear that we make, it feelslike we’re just warming up.
