Product Details

The Carmel is a no-brainer. Zero intimidation factor. All fun. Anyone and everyone who's looking for unsurpassed comfort, easy travels and feeling like a kid again will love this bike.

Our A1 Premium Aluminum frame features our Ground Control geometry for an upright and comfortable seating position that's closer to the ground, step-through frame for easy on and off.
The suspension fork uses coil/MCU springs for a smooth ride and external preload adjustment for easy fine-tuning.
Globe 700c rims are double-walled for strength and machined sidewalls make for smooth braking.
Specialized Hemisphere 700x38c tires are smooth rolling, and Armadillo casing makes them virtually puncture-proof.
The wide Comfort Plus saddle has springs and a suspension seatpost to take the edge off.
A Specialized quick release allows tool-less adjustments to seat height.
