Specialized Pitch Sport 650b Mountain Bike 2015 - Hardtail MTB

Weight - 14.46 kg (size L tested, with pedals)

From meandering terrain to flowing single track the Specialized Pitch Sport is a hardtail mountain bike that is built for the trail. New for 2015 the Pitch is designed around 27.5" (650b) wheels and delivers reliable off road performance.

The A1 premium  aluminium frame uses formed and butted tubes making it strong and lightweight. With nimble handling and a neutral riding position it is great for cross country riding and is also comfortable on the road.

The Suntour fork offers 100mm of suspension travel and has custom multi circuit damping. This makes the fork a lot more effective over rough terrain than is usually found on a bike at this price point. The 27.5" wheels roll faster than the old size mtb wheels, over rough ground and smooth.

Hydraulic disk brakes are powerful and offer reliable performance in all conditions, meaning that you can ride with confidence whatever the weather. The Shimano 3x8 speed drivetrain has a wide range of gears, enough to get you up the steepest hills.

Great for off road adventures at the weekend the Pitch Sport is versatile enough for the daily commute during the week.
