Specialized S-Works Fate Carbon 29 (2015)

Nothing much on the trail feels more light and nimble than a carbon fiber 29er and the S-Works Fate delivers in every respect. Superlight FACT 11m frame mated to an equally impressive RockShox SID World Cup, makes for a responsive chassis. Add to this combination the premium XX1 group from SRAM along with powerful Magura MT8 brakes and Roval Control SL wheels, you end up with a package for riders keen to try a bit of racing or be able to better their lap time on the local trails.
