Nice bike! 3 weeks ago, i bought the 6.0 x and i mounted it with Hunt carbon wheels, a wider 710mm and higher 25mm flat bar instead of 640mm, and 42cm pathfinder pro tyres instead of Roubaix 32 cm. The confort is amazing. A very polyvalent andsmooth bike. Cheers from France.
Have you sold a lot of these bikes. I am interested in purchasing one. But people say the geometry of the frame has a good tendency to crack. Have you had any frames come back due to cracking or heard of cracking
If you like something that is fast yet capable of anything it's the bike for you. It's just an overall comfortable fast commuter. Have you test road one as yet? If not try to the future shock itself is a great feature. And if you like to play around jump off curbs do a wheelie or two it will hold up to the abuse
@@bikesandbalding I appreciate that. Most of my riding on limestone trails. I can't decide on the x 5.o or the TREK FX sport 5. Any suggestions one the TREK?
The previous gen ,5.0x was so beautiful, the aesthetic is a back step on the new ones
The look is not the best but the way it rides and performs is very smooth!
@@bikesandbaldingI’m indecisive between diverge and the 4.0x

Zero frames with cracks on the bike! And even if that happens specialized frame life time warranty should take care of that if it happens.
@@bikesandbalding I here there customer service isn’t the greatest.
are the tools required for the build already included in the box ?
If you order direct to your house I believe that box comes with tools to assemble. But if not just a 4, 5,6 mm Allen keys will get the job done
What is the zipper that you installed in the neck? What is its benefit?
That's the future shock system from specialized. Gives the rider 20mm of travel to smooth your ride
Did you remove the tires and tubes and tape the wheels before putting new the sealant?
How much does it weigh in total?
Never got a chance to weight it but it feels like a rim brake carbon road bike probably 18-22lbs
I'm looking to purchase this same bike. As a bike pro, what is your opinion on this one?
