Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Capability and Efficiency

Designed and tuned by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team, the Fox Float Factory shock and Fox 34 Factory fork deliver top-tier suspension performance.

The Ride Dynamics suspension tuning allows you to tackle rough terrain without sacrificing climbing efficiency, providing a comfortable, controlled ride no matter the trail conditions.
