Specialized "Pitch"
 

Is it yet another category they're trying to create? (between the Enduro SL and SXT)

I get that it's a slightly tougher version of the Enduro SL, yet there's not really a high end version of the Pitch. It's kinda like what the FSR XC is to the Stumpy FSR???

Either way, I kinda like it. I'd at least like to try one out.

THROW THIS AT IT. Born from the same brains that brought you the Enduro SL, the all-new PitchTM throws 150-mm of FSR suspension and a generous helping of top shelf technology at even the most demanding All Mountain terrain.
Inside Tech
We didn't start with a blank slate when designing the Pitch. Nope. We've used the years of trail time and lab test data that went into making the Enduro SL to make the Pitch a fast follower. By employing the same proven FSR suspension and mimicking the Enduro SL’s geometry and frame design, we've given the all-new Pitch the control and confidence of a much more mature machine.

Specialized sucks.

Specialized cost too much for me

aren't you 14 or something?

most brands should cost too much for you

are you trying to be funny;)


but yes it is true


and no Im not 14, lets try 16

Im 16, specialized doesnt cost too much for me... well when i saved up it didnt.

Looking at the spec, it's just a lower end version of the new Enduro stuff, and running a Pike vs. their house brand fork.

Yeah, but they make it sound as if the frame is a little different...tougher? Dunno.

Oh come on kids, when I was 16 (3 years ago) I wish I had a place to unload all my cash. Do you guys even have jobs yet? Or do your high school sweethearts take all your cash?

Re: the Bike. Id try one... But I would sure wanna ride one hard before I bought one for myself:D

that curved tube is uglier than hell

Ooooooo, the ripe old age of 16.......:D those were the days.

I like the color.

can't really argue with the way it looks in the studio pic -- very nice lines.

bag that root beer color though, I'll take black

cheers

no.
