For 2008 Specialized has seven platforms to choose from which offer progressively more travel with adjusted geometries and components to suit all objectives. All were on display at the Cycle show.

The focus is on their FSR four bar linkage technology which lends itself to a multitude of of terrains and riding styles but there is more to their range than just this. So here are some of the key highlights that caught my attention:

The SFR XC Expert £1099.99

This bike is for those starting to take their trail riding more seriously and likely to be upgrading from a hardtail.

P -All Mountain £799.99

The P series is cool and features Marzocchi suspension forks. Check out the cool design on the frame.. This is for dirt jump or freeriding.

P2 Cro Moly £549.99

A trail and park hound

SX Trail - £1799.99

For aggressive trail riding. relaxed geometry and FSR suspension to boot. Total control whatever.

Pitch Pro -£1399.99

This an all mountain bike. huck worthy chassis and full active FSR suspension.

There's loads more like the Enduro S Works and this years FSR Stumpjumper, The Demo series and so on so do get checking out there site.
