✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size 56 geometry row. Clearance is Specialized's stated 47mm with 700c wheels; they also quote 2.1in on 650b. Specialized documents no mudguard or rack mounts on this product page, so both are recorded as absent. Specialized prints no model year on this page; 2026 reflects the current UK line-up as listed.
