Specialised Standing 2 Expands with 140mm Path Bike, Two 170mm Decisions
The Standing simply isn’t your typical Specialised. Optimistic, it is dependent upon the mannequin’s engineering chops to produce the proper kinematics and geometry, nonetheless in its place of chasing grams, the Standing is further about chasing grasp time. And holding as a lot because the pursuit.
Whether or not or not you’re sending stair gaps, metropolis wall rides, or getting ingenious on the bike park, the Standing is your software program – and now it’s accessible in three flavors. Together with to the distinctive prolonged journey mannequin, the Standing 2 now incorporates a 140mm path bike risk. There are moreover two completely completely different 170mm variations, the Standing 2 170, and the Standing 2 170 DH.
All three fashions rely upon a redesigned M5 aluminum chassis that’s engineered to be as sturdy as doable. Physique specifics embrace a Horst hyperlink suspension system with a geo pivot chip throughout the Horst pivot, a threaded bottom bracket, inside cable routing with exterior rear brake cable routing risk, 12 x 148mm dropouts, SRAM UDH, and sealed bearing pivots. All Standing 2s embrace blended wheel sizes, nonetheless all physique sizes won’t be the an identical…
That’s on account of there’s a brand new S0 dimension for every the 140 and 170 fashions. The S0 is a bike designed for riders beneath 5′, which comes with changes to supply the an identical rider experience for smaller, lighter riders. As a substitute of a 29/27.5″ blended wheel setup, the S0 makes use of a 27.5/26″ MX setup, and consists of custom-tuned kinematics with lower spring pressures and further improvement.
On the 170 S0, the physique moreover employs an air shock in its place of a coil shock, along with narrower handlebars and shorter cranks.
The Standing 2 170 DH doesn’t have an S0 dimension, so will in all probability be supplied in S2-S5 sizing. All sizes attribute a 77º seat tube angle, or 77.6º throughout the extreme place, and a 63.5 or 64º head tube angle which is likely to be made 0.5º steeper throughout the extreme place.
For those who occur to take into consideration the S0 fashions as separate bikes, there are 5 completely completely different configurations of the model new Standing S2. Pricing begins at $2000 for the Standing 2 170 frameset, and full bikes start at $3,000 for the Standing 170 S0 & 140 S0. The Standing 2 140 and 170 then promote for $3,500, and the Standing 2 DH bumps as a lot as $4,500.
