Specialized Sequoia Expert Bike - 2019

At the heart of every rider is an adventurer, ready to seek out new roads, regardless of whether they're paved or not. And for this reason, we created a bike that's built to handle anything. The Sequoia Expert eliminates the need to choose from a dedicated touring rig or a road bike, instead combining the two in a single, genre-shattering bike.The Sequoia's path to adventure starts at the frame, which we constructed from a mix of Premium Cr-Mo tubing and stainless steel chainstays. These materials are coveted for their strength, respectable weight, and tuned ride quality. And we took this a step further by selecting tubes that are specific to each frame size, further ensuring that every frame rides exactly as we intended.Of course, this is only a piece of the equation, with the next being its dedicated Adventure Geometry. This geo is unique in that it skews the line between a traditional road bike and a dedicated touring rig. You'll find an ample wheelbase and low bottom bracket for control, but the chainstays and tube angles ensure that you'll be able to travel efficiently and quickly, regardless of whether or not your rig is loaded.Digging into the details, the frame is outfitted with an ample number of mounts for water, racks, and fenders. And for the build, we included a carbon fork and reliable parts, like a SRAM Force 1 groupset, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and hand-built Cruzero wheels that are cased in 38mm-wide, 2Bliss Ready Sawtooth tires. The Sequoia is built from our size-specific Premium Cr-Mo tubing with stainless steel chainstays. This ensures that every frame is strong, light, and capable, while every frame size rides exactly as we intended. This philosophy is furthered with our Adventure Geometry that provides ample confidence over rough and smooth terrain, alike. And lastly, we equipped this frame with fender & rack mounts to make sure you'll be well equipped whenever adventure strikes.Carbon fiber Praxis Zayante crankarms keep things light, while offering plenty of gear range with its 38T chainring.Hand-built Adventure Gear Cruzero wheels are cased in 700x38mm 2Bliss Ready Sawtooth tires to be tough, strong, and fast rolling. It's the ideal wheelset for anyone looking to skip town at speed.
