Nothing quite beats the thrill of mountain biking, and the Pitch Expert is the perfect way to get introduced to the feeling. Its hardtail design makes climbing a breeze, while also making descending an agile, fun-filled affair. Our Sport Trail 27.5 geometry, meanwhile, keeps you comfortable and confident on a variety of terrain, and the Shimano component spec keeps you rolling for miles, with minimal maintenance. It's time to get out there and have some fun.

  • The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 Premium Aluminum in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support our acclaimed Sport Trail 27.5 Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that's extremely versatile, making it equally capable on the climbs and descents.

  • Custom SR Suntour 27.5 fork features our Multi-Circuit Damping technology to eliminate any "pogo" effect by delivering 80/100mm (size-specific) of hydraulic damped suspension and rebound that smooths out rough terrain.

  • The Shimano Deore rear derailleur provides crisp, reliable shifting that you can count on when the going gets rough. With it, you'll be able to precisely move through the wide, 11-36t gear range, to make climbing hills almost as easy as rolling on the flats.

Absolute joy to ride!

Replaced my stolen Trek I rode for 12yrs. Actually have the 2019 because I wanted 3 chainrings. After riding a few Specialized with this style frame geometry, I'm convinced they've scientifically figured out how to make the ride so SMOOTH. Feels like a cushion of air, yet supporting a solid firm ride. Hydro' brakes are superb. Hefty Suntour forks are truly adjustable for dirt & lockout. Shifts quick & quietly. I even love the stock tires. Riding the XL frame, I did add a stem w/a bit more rise. Lots of control. No question it's the best MTB ride I could find in this price range. This is certainly a well designed bike.

Such an awesome ride

I rode for two days on intermediate/hard trails in Sedona and this bike handled everything I went for. It's such a capable bike and really can do so much!
