The Carve Comp is Specialized entry level 29er, built around a fully butted, smooth welded M4SL alloy frame for a superlight, stiff, and efficient ride designed with 29er XC geometry featuring a tapered head tube for front-end stiffness, plus bridge-less seatstays for compliance over bumps.

Equipped with an 80mm-travel RockShox XC32 29" fork with lockout, size-specific spring rates, and external rebound/preload adjust for quick, fine-tuning plus tapered alloy steerer for precision handling and light weight.

The wheels are light and stiff, comprising of double-walled alloy rims for added stiffness; front hub has cartridge bearings and oversized dropout interface for front-end rigidity. These are complimented by Specialized The Captain Control tyres, which are 2Bliss Ready with aramid bead for fast and predictable speed and control on the trail.

Shimano Alivio crankset with forged alloy arms, Octalink-splined BB interface, and alloy outer ring means greater durability, lighter weight, and better shifting performance. The Shimano SLX Shadow 9-speed rear derailleur delivers precise shifting and improved clearance.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes use 180mm front rotor for increased leverage on 29" wheels, while 160mm rear rotor keeps weight low.
