  1. Saw on my FB feed that he's going to attempt a 70.3 somewhere where it's terribly cold. For a man who does the 10k in UNDER 30 minutes, a top 10 swimmer each time, and a 350W+ avg over the 40km, surely this is laughable? My question is - why are most pros scared to "branch" off into longer disciplines, like in Richard's case? He's a world class, probably the best in the Olympic distance, surely he could still dominate the 70.3? He also just recently became the Xtrerra National Champion, so he's an on road AND off road national champion. How many (local) athletes can say that?! Side note - one of the Brownlee brother's qualified for the 10000m track event for GB...
  2. Roval is owned by Specialized and has been seen on their bikes for some years now. Roval is now trying to build towards becoming a more independent brand with a focus on also offering wheel options for aftermarket buyers. For 2017, Roval has refreshed many of their wheels and have released an all-new Control SL carbon wheelset that is lighter and wider than previous models. Take a look at the press release below for more information on the new Control SL wheelset and the rest of the 2017 range of Roval wheels. Click here to view the article
  3. With the Cape Town Cycle Tour looming, we have been giving our road bikes some love, and have taken the opportunity to test a range of road tyres from Specialized. We tested the Turbo Pro, Turbo Cotton, Roubaix Pro and All Condition Armadillo Elite tyres, each of which offer unique performance properties, to determine how best to kit out our road bikes for the type of riding we enjoy.

  4. The Specialized Tarmac is a bike synonymous with road racing performance. In over a decade on the WorldTour, the Tarmac has scooped up an almighty array of race wins: from the grandest of the Grand Tours to the World Championships. And while the WorldTour riders did the winning, the engineers at Specialized have continually refined the platform, with the input from riders, in the pursuit of the ultimate lightweight, stiff, and responsive road racer.

  5. Next up in our long term test fleet is the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon 6Fattie. Another absolute stunner, this bike had us taking turns trying to pop a wheelie in the car park. We'll be treating the bike as one of our own for the year: documenting the journey, and ultimately providing an in-depth review like never before. Click here to view the article
  6. According to our classifieds search data, the Specialized Epic is the most sought after bike on Bike Hub. Perhaps due to this wide appeal, it has also become a symbol of endurance racing in South Africa, and all the connotations that come attached to the stereotype. Opinions aside, this was my first significant experience with this iconic race bike and I was intrigued to see what all the fuss is about. Click here to view the article
  7. Hi Guys Trust youre all well. Ive been on a spez Romin 143mm for longer than 3 years now on both my road and 29er. For the past 2 weeks my sit bones have been going numb/eina/dead within 20mins of my ride. Had a saddle sore on each cheek last week but thats all cleared up now but it feel like the bone itself is sore. I was told/advised that it could be time for a different saddle, maybe something with more cushion? I ride with craft/rapid sport/ciovita/assos bibs and I get the same feeling with either of the bibs? Did the Baviaans/DC/Stellies tour last year with no issues what so ever Currently averaging about 10-13hours per week All advice welcome
  8. On Friday, at the Tour Down Under, Bora-Hansgrohe and Quick-Step Floors debuted the entirely-new Roval CLX 50, where it should prove to be the riders’ wheels of choice for most stages. At 50mm in depth and ranging in weight from 1,230-1,425 grams per-pair, depending on configuration, CLX 50 is the ultimate all-around road wheelset – striking the perfect balance between lightweight, aerodynamics, and impeccable handling, unlike any wheelset before it.

  10. Richard Murray put in a huge effort during the triathlon at the Rio Olympics, narrowly missing out of a podium spot after making up places with a fantastic run. However, being Bike Hub, we'll just skip the swim and run, and focus on Richard's Specialized S-Works Tarmac. Click here to view the article
  11. In terms of women’s cycling gear in South Africa, a decent pair of baggies can be hard to find. Specialized are one of a few brands offering baggies for women. I tried both the Women’s Andorra Comp and Women’s Andorra Pro shorts for comparison. Click here to view the article

  17. Taking inspiration from the infamous Paris-Roubaix in both name and purpose, the Specialized Roubaix is a bike built for endurance, performance and superb ride quality. In 2007 Specialized changed the game with what was then an all-new Roubaix featuring vibration dampening “Zertz” inserts. Over the next three years the bike would claim back-to-back Paris Roubaix titles piloted by some of the greatest names in our sport. To date the Specialized Roubaix has tallied five wins in the famed spectacle that is the “Hell of the North” (2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014). And, ten years on, it appears that the big ‘S’ have taken things up a notch… Click here to view the article

  20. In this episode of Destination Trail, we follow Curtis Keene and Jared Graves to the epic trails of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Aboard the all-new Enduro, the pair check some trails off of their bucket lists, dive headfirst into hitchhiking, and go wild in one of mountain biking's most drool-worthy locales.

  21. The women’s Propero 2 is a mid-range road helmet from the wizards at Specialized. It is a more economical version of the top of the range Prevail helmet, and shares many of the fundamental features - including styling based on the 4th Dimension Cooling System with the Maserati-esque front vent (referred to by Specialized as the Megamouth port) and the Tri-Fix web splitter system for comfortable and easy strap adjustments.

  22. We managed to squeeze in some snaps of James's Specialized S-Works Epic Torch Edition between the time team mechanic JP Jacobs completed the build and James Reid picked up the bike before leaving for Rio. Click here to view the article
  23. Specialized introduced the Enduro over a decade ago, and since then, it’s gone from a disruptive, slightly misguided outsider to an industry-leading benchmark for the modern trail bike. And in a relatively short amount of time, it established a new standard of rider expectations for what a trail bike should be. Fast-forward 10 years, and you’re looking at a bike with a trophy case that would make anyone jealous. Today, the all-new Enduro does it all, from steep, root-laden climbs to white-knuckle descents, taking it all in stride. Click here to view the article
