Product Details

The Camber 29 is just begging to become someone's first trail tool. It's versatile, durable, and ready to be thrown up and down the trails over and over again with maximum efficiency.

In other words, it blends all of the trail bike characteristics that you want with the XC climbing prowess that you need. This is achieved by thoughtfully combining our M5 alloy Trail Chassis with a Camber FSR rear end. The combination results in blending lightweight, rigidity, and durability in one package.

At both ends of the bike, you'll find sufficient travel lengths that deliver plenty of plush suspension—all without going overboard on big hit capability. This means that you don't have to sacrifice efficiency, weight, or sheer speed to ride how you want. And with our Trail 29 Geometry and lightweight, stiff, and smooth Concentric Pivot at the rear, we can guarantee it.

For the build, we selected durable, performance-driven components like Tektro Gemini hydraulic disc brakes, a reliable mix of Shimano and SRAM shifting, a custom X-Fusion rear shock, and a RockShox Recon RL fork.

An M5 alloy Trail Chassis w/ Camber FSR rear end has been paired with our Trail 29 Geometry to create a bike that's fast, durable, and just at home on the climbs as it is mowing over rock gardens. It also features the shortest, most nimble rear end possible, and internal cable routing to make clean lines and reliable shifting through any condition.
A RockShox Recon RL heads-up the travel up front, and lets you adjust rebound and lockout.
A Shimano Deore rear derailleur will win your heart with reliable shift after reliable shift. It's built with durability in mind, so it's tougher than your average rear mech.

I love this bike!!

I race with a league, and got this bike mid season because of a growth spurt, and it has been sooooo good, first full suspension and I love it! The lockout on the shocks broke but I never used lockout to start with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great price for a great product!

Ottima Bike

Acquistata da 3 anni, dopo 3500 km ancora perfetta, ottime sospensioni, ottime forcelle, ottimi freni, perfetta per escursioni in montagna e ottime nelle discese, ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo. La consiglio per l'acquisto.

O que dizer da Minha Camber!

Estou muito satisfeito com a compra deste produto, uma baita bike. XCO desce com muita segurança e controle, para fazer curvas ao longo da trilha a bike te convida a ir mais rápido, encarando subidas técnicas ela vai super bem nota 10, o tempo todo com as duas rodas no chão, excelente para saltos, transpor obstáculos como raízes, troncos e pedras. Andando no estradão, tem tocada excelente absorve bem as imperfeições do terreno, e no quesito segurança e controle nota 10, te convida a ir além. Minha visão a Specialized podia estudar o retorno dela para um público que busca uma full até 15mil reais que absorva bem o XCM e XCO.

Ottima

Ottima MTB. Le ruote da 29"" permettono di affrontare rocce-radici e/O passaggi abbastanza impegnativi. Anche se con ruote da 29"" si è dimostrata molto agile nello stretto. Ottimo l'ammortizzatore posteriore. Unica pecca: avendo due corone anteriormente, perchè il comando al manubrio è a 3 posizioni??

Nice ride for the price

I have been out about 30 times on this bike now. serious upgrade from the hardtail I used to ride. Still trying to fine tune the suspension to my liking but overall a great bike. Shifting is a bit questionable however. I have brought it in to my LBS and had them adjust the gears twice. May have to upgrade rear derailleur but that will be next year overall great bike

Divertente entry level

Ottima bici per iniziare, componenti forse migliorabili ma all'altezza del marchio e nel complesso validi per chi non è troppo esigente o attento al peso totale del mezzo. Buone sensazioni su sconnesso e su fondi non troppo impegnativi.

Spot on - needs shifting

I am a roadie, first a foremost...but, got a MTN. First ride, the F-Der twisted into a taco shell. One would would think that the LBS would ""take care"" of it....but, I paid to go single speed front (Awesome upgrade!!!). Rear shifting was spotty at best...so, I had a SRAM Eagle drive system installed (Awesome upgrade!!!)...now, the bike simply rocks. Great bike for a serious but new rider. It is nothing but fun, more fun and more fun. I cant imagine this frame/fork is the cause of any issues I have on the trail. I am simply the weak link...what a great bike,

Great full suspension for the price

Used to ride a Trek hardtail at local trail with some fairly steep drops and climbs. Wouldn't make it up the climbs sometimes but I haven't had any issues climbing with my camber. Shifts waaaaay smoother and is a lot more responsive. Love my bike. Still getting personal records on my Strava times.
