CLOSEOUT ITEM!! (May not be available at all locations, while supplies last)
For riders who love to tear up flowy singletrack the brand-new 2012 Specialized Carve Comp 29 Mountain Bike is an ideal high-value steed. If you mostly ride for fun and adventure, but will occasionally jump into an XC race, you are going to love the efficiency, comfort, and high durability of the 2012 Carve Comp 29er. With an 80mm-travel RockShox XC32 Suspension Fork, Shimano 27 Speed Drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes, the Carve Comp 29 inch MTB is a capable and affordable cross-country machine.

Fully butted, smooth-welded M4SL alloy frame is superlight, stiff, and efficient, with 29er XC geometry, integrated, tapered head tube for front-end stiffness, plus bridge-less seatstays for compliance over bumps
80mm-travel RockShox XC32 29 inch fork with lockout, size-specific spring rates, and external rebound/preload adjust for quick, fine-tuning plus tapered alloy steerer for precision handling and light weight
Light and stiff, double-walled alloy rims for added stiffness; front hub has cartridge bearings and oversized dropout interface for front-end rigidity
Light and efficient 29 inch Specialized The Captain Control tires are 2Bliss Ready with aramid bead for fast and predictable speed and control on the trail
Shimano Alivio crankset with forged alloy arms, Octalink-splined BB interface, and alloy outer ring means greater durability, lighter weight, and better shifting performance
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes use 180mm front rotor for increased leverage on 29 inch wheels, while 160mm rear rotor keeps weight low
Shimano SLX Shadow 9-speed rear derailleur for lightweight, precise shifting, and improved clearance
