About Specialized Safire bikes
Safire is Specialized's aluminium framed, women's full suspension Mountain Bike range designed for trail riding. Compared to the Myka FSR full suspension range Safire bikes have more suspension travel (120mm on the front and rear of the bike) making them better suited to more rocky and technical trails and descents. As well as a women's specific geometry the Safire range also boasts a number of women's specific components such as saddles, grips, cranks, handlebars and front and rear suspension spring rates custom tuned for female riders. For full suspension mountain bikes designed more for cross country and singletrack use check Specialized's Myka FSR range.
Specialized says
The aluminium Safire Comp features 120mm of FSR suspension, a custom Fox Triad II shock, Fox Evolution Float 120 RL air-sprung fork, and custom Avid Elixir 7 SL hydraulic disc brakes for an ultra-capable women's trail bike.
