2020 Specialized Pitch Sport Hardtail Mountain Bike - Dusty Lilac

The Pitch Sport is made to explore beyond, with a sturdy aluminium frame, smooth-riding front suspension, grippy tyres for loose surfaces, and sure-stopping hydraulic disc brakes to keep you under control.

STRONG, SENSITIVE TYPE

Old-school strongmen have nothing on Specialized's A1 Premium Aluminum frame. The Pitch Sport is in touch with its feelings too, offering a ride that’s as comfortable as it is durable, thanks to a lightweight proprietary alloy and Sport Trail 27.5 Geometry for sure handling.

SIZE-SPECIFIC SUSPENSION

It’s not enough to offer quality suspension like the coil-sprung SR SunTour XCT 30 fork on the Pitch Sport. Specialized also custom-design travel based on frame size to keep the geometry and ride quality consistent over all sizes. Lockout limits annoying bobbing on smooth terrain.

SWEET SPOT WHEELS

27.5-inch wheels are a happy medium between 27 and 28, which offers most of the benefits of the older 26-inch size, like light weight and agility, with those of the newer, oversize 29er version, like fast-rolling efficiency and easy roll over obstacles.

The 24-speed Shimano drivetrain gives you the right gear, anytime.

A long-lasting, rust-resistant KMC chain offers quiet, sure shifting.

Grippy Ground Control Sport tyres feature Flak Jacket flat protection.

• The heart of the Pitch Sport is the Sport Trail 27.5 Geometry, which features a roomy cockpit to keep your centre of gravity securely between the wheels for control, and a slacker head angle designed for more stable steering.
• The key to mountain biking is confidence, which starts with knowing you’re in control. Thanks to the Shimano hydraulic disc brakes on the Pitch Sport, you’ll always know you have plenty of stopping power, no matter the trail conditions.
• Specialized obsess about tyres a lot; it’s where the bike meets the trail. So for the Pitch line, Specialized chose their wide, 2.3-inch Ground Control Sport, with a versatile, fast-rolling knobby tread that offers superb grip and traction for any trail.
