SPECIALIZED PITCH SPORT 650b

The weekend is approaching, and when the promise of adventure calls, you need a reliable mountain bike to hit the trails on. Lucky for you, the Pitch hardtail is dialled for everything from meandering terrain to singletrack. To make sure of it, Specialized built the Pitch on 650b wheels for confident handling over rough terrain. And to take even more of the edge off, it features a plush 100mm-travel fork with Multi-Circuit Damping that delivers hydraulic dampened suspension and rebound performance akin to forks twice the price. In real-world conditions, this means that it will precisely tune out bumps, both big and small. Along with a confidence-inspiring geometry, the Pitch becomes the perfect package for both new rippers and seasoned riders alike.
