Specialized  2012 Expedition Sport Low-Entry

Suspension seatpost adds another level of plushness, while triple chainring means wider range gearing, so the Expedition Sport can explore a wider range of terrain. Low-entry frame improves convenience and confidence.

• A1 Premium Aluminum 26" frame with Ground Control geometry for a confident, upright seating position and extra-low standover for bike path bliss
• 63mm-travel suspension fork with preload adjustment provides a smoother, more comfortable ride
• Double-wall, 32-hole rims with machined sidewalls are strong and smooth
• Smooth-rolling Hemisphere 26" tires with flat protection and semi-connected tread pattern for traction and control on pavement/gravel
• Shimano triple crankset with chainguard gives you precise, hassle-free shifting and efficient gearing for varied terrain
• Riser bar provides a stable and comfortable position
• BG Comfort grips alleviate hand pain and tingling fingers
• Comfort Plus saddle uses springs, dual-density foam, and a wide platform for over-the-top comfort, while a suspension seatpost takes the edge of bumpy roads
