High-volume Specialized Borough XC Sport 700c tires roll fast, yet have enough bite for the trail
Popular Body Geometry XC women's saddle with front and rear bumpers for on and off-road durability
Women's-specific A1 Premium Aluminum frame with low standover for lightweight confidence on both dirt and pavement
