Specialized SJ Alloy Frame

GENIE shock technology combines the best of both worlds: it provides the supple, coil-like traction and grip you want for technical sections, while maintaining the supportive, bottomless feel of an air spring. It effectively manages bump forces to keep the bike planted without sacrificing the playful, poppy character of an air-sprung suspension.

The frame features six distinct geometry settings, allowing you to fine-tune the head tube angle and bottom bracket height to suit your local trails or personal riding style. This adjustability means you can prioritize stability for steep, fast descents or sharpen the handling for tighter, more technical terrain.

Yes, the frame is fully compatible with both a full 29-inch wheel setup and a mixed-wheel (mullet) configuration. This flexibility allows you to choose between the rollover efficiency of dual 29-inch wheels or the added maneuverability and clearance of a 27.5-inch rear wheel.

It is designed to be a versatile trail bike that balances climbing efficiency with descending capability. While it handles aggressive, technical terrain with ease, the geometry and suspension kinematics are tuned to ensure it remains nimble and efficient on long climbs and varied terrain.

This frame offers 145 mm of rear wheel travel. This amount of travel is optimized to provide a balance between soaking up significant impacts and maintaining a responsive, lively feel on the trail.
