Specialized Carve Pro 29er 2012
Specialized Say:
The Carve Pro 29er is a light weight, race inspired hardtail harnessing the benefits of larger wheels. Quality Shimano XT and SLX drivetrain keep shifting crisp, whilst Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes and RockShox Recon forks provide more control.
We Say:
The top end Specialized Carve Pro 29er is a great XC race bike which will out performe many 26" bike costing double the price. Quality Shimano Deore brakes offer similiar feel to XTR and feature and amazing lever blade, whilst RockShox Recon Gold forks are smoother and hearder wearing compared to the forks featured on the lower priced Carves. In our opinion, all upgrades worth investing in.
