Jacques Viljoen Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Hi Hubbers, do you think 2015 would see the Specialized 650B. I personally cant see them loosing out on this and would only be a mater of time before they launch there 650B bike. As most will know the tires are out. From Sean Estes "It's a little known fact that we got our start making tyres — before we made bikes even — and to this day tyres are still a key category for us," said Specialized's global PR manager Sean Estes. "Tyres provide the final connection between the rider and the ground which is why tyre choice is such a critical element of performance and an area we put a lot of effort into. Even though we don't currently offer 650B bikes we still want to make sure riders have the option of choosing their favourite Specialized tyre models for all popular wheel sizes." Gen 1
Sephton Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Specialized was quite outspoken about the fact that they don't see the need for another wheel size. But they said the same about 29ers back then. They're already sounding less skeptical... Jacques Viljoen 1
Jacques Viljoen Posted March 9, 2014 Author Posted March 9, 2014 They may not see the need but would they what to loose out on the profits not have the option
Ramrod Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I see they are now making 650B tires Big Wheel Cycles 1

SWAT system obviously not for him. Seriously though, the lines on that bike are gorgeous. Make me want to drop the R125k - R150k (probably) for this bike.
Josh0 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Damn that S-Works Stumpy is HOT! Maybe I should try to trade my 26'er Stumpy in for one of those next year. Wont be the S-Works though........will go for Expert Alu probably. Or I should trade my car in for the S-Works? Who needs a car neway? CleatsnCleavage 1
