Specialized FSRxc Comp Review

The Specialized FSRxc Comp is a great value for the weekend warrior. The FSRxc can take anything you throw at it. The bikes sturdy front and rear shocks and great brakes, make this bike a great climber. If your looking for a great full suspension bike that doesn't put you in the poor house then this is it. Its handles fast, it climbs, it has decent components and looks great. You really can't go wrong with the Specialized FSRxc Comp. No bells and whistles or gimmicks. Just a good full suspension mountain bike.

Features:
# FSR M4 butted frame w/ ORE downtube, sealed cartridge bearing pivots and 100mm travel
# X Fusion 02RLA rear shock, Specialized tuned, rebound/compression adjust w/ LO, 7.0x1.6", 4 bearing lower shock mount
# RockShox Tora 302 SL fork, 100mm travel, 32mm Cr-Mo stanchions, alloy steerer
# Hayes Stroker Ryde, hydraulic disc brakes
# 1.8mm (15g) stainless spokes, black, alloy nipples

After shopping around for bikes in this price range I felt that you got the most bang for your buck with the Specialized FSRxc Comp. After coming off of a hardtail, I felt all the differences of full suspension. The disc brakes also have excellent stopping power. If you are in the market for a bike around the $1500 price range check out the Specialized FSRxc Comp.
