In the world of cycling, quality matters. We know that, in order to get the most relaxation, recreation, exercise or adrenalin rush from your ride, you need to have the best made equipment.
Finally life made easy. No fumbling through catalogs and pages of bikes you have no interest in seeing, much less riding.

In any case, we've got exactly the right bike for you, conveniently grouped into eight categories for easy reference. Look. Learn. Jump ahead.

You think owning a mountain bike is pretty cool, even if you don't take it off road. You like the power of versatility, always there if you need it. Sort of like your SUV.
Your idea of a good time is interval training. You can't understand why people think shaving your legs is weird. You like pushing your limits with or without friends. Riding a bicycle a few miles to raise money for those less fortunate is a good day spent.
Getting there in style is what you value most. But a close second is being comfortable while doing it. You can appreciate the attention to detail that makes a big difference in quality and comfort.
You want to take a time out from the rat race. You wish you could ride your favorite arm chair around but it doesn't have pedals. You think one of those extra large comfy cruiser seats might be just the ticket.
You want a bike that's easy and safe to ride (we won't tell your parents). You want to look good hanging out with your friends. You want your older brother to stop putting peanut butter in your hair.
You want to relax yet get some great exercise. You want to ride some scenic paved trails or enjoy a long group ride without getting off the bike at the end and hurting all over.
Why ride something that wasn't made for you? We are truly focused on the needs of female cyclists, with the intent of offering a complete package of bicycles and equipment to properly fit women's bodies, and to suit the way women really ride. We pay careful attention to visual details, but no amount of feminine styling can match the effects of true measurable technological benefits: proper fit, proper geometry, proper materials, and underlying all of it, a soul that was envisioned for and created by women riders.
It's been more than thirty years now since I sold my old Volkswagen bus, packed my bike, and went riding across Europe.
That was 1974. In 2005, Specialized bikes and equipment are ridden by enthusiasts all over the world, not to mention world champions in road, MTB, triathlon, and BMX disciplines, as well as some of the finest free-ride athletes anywhere. Our European friends have become some of our best customers. And of course we still design, develop, and test everything we make from right here in Morgan Hill, California.
For 2005, we've developed some extra-special initiatives, including ergonomic road bikes like our Roubaix and Sequoia lines, high-end suspension bikes featuring our patented FSR technology, and our most comprehensive Designs for Women offering ever.
But the best thing about our business is the same as it's always been: to see cyclists our having a great time on the bikes and equipment we make. Because even after thirty years, the guiding principle today is the same as it was in 1974: focus on the need for functional and technically advanced products that provide a performance benefit to the rider.
Then, as now, that's what Specialized is all about. And always will be.
In the beginning...When all you wanted was freedom. When all you dreamed about was racing up and down the mountains. When all you talked about what going as fast and far as humanly possible.
There was only one place you knew you could go. You could trust your local bike shop to be the one place for everything cycling. Quality. Service. Value. The hallmarks of doing business with your neighborhood bicycle retailer.
In today's disposable society, it's reassuring to know our retailers live up to the same standards you remember from way back when. Only better.
Like many things, technology makes buying a bike today much different than just a few years ago. More models, more colors, more choices, it's hard to know sometimes what you're looking at or where to begin. It can be intimidating for even the most savvy shopper. When you're ready, our professional cycling retailers will make sure you get the right bike for the kind of riding you want to do. They'll set it up properly, and be there for maintenance and repair so that every ride will be a great one. Most of all, they're knowledgeable and dedicated bike people that love cycling and love sharing the joy of the ride. Just like us. Enjoy.

Every Orbea bicycle is born in the heart of the Pyrenees in northern Spain. It is a region that is lush and emerald green with a mild climate that is good for riding year-round. It is a land where cycling is a way of life. This region, known as Euskadi in the Basque language and Pais Vasco in Spanish, is home to some 1,500 cycling clubs and thousands of cyclists. It is a region where children learn to ride in school and are taught the history of cycling in the region. Even the government promotes cycling; passing laws to designate cycling routes where cars must drive very slow and pass with extra care.
In short, it is the perfect place to design and make a bicycle. Each and every Orbea is made with a passion that is expressed in beautiful bikes. Every Orbea has an intricate hand-painted finish that takes hours to perfect. More importantly, every Orbea ignites passion in its rider. Orbea bicycles climb with aplomb and descend intuitively. It is a pedigree born in the best cycling region in the world: The Pyrenees.
At Sun Bicycles it's ALL about the bike. In fact, bikes are all we do here - all day, every day. Our designers are on top of the latest technologies, materials and styles. When one of our bicycles rolls from the design board to the showroom floor, we know it is the best bike for the money.
At Sun Bicycles, we search the globe far and wide for the best value in aluminum, steel, paint and components and bring them together in our Miami design offices. There, our bicycle designers put forth innovative ideas from which prototypes are made. Each aspect of each model is closely scrutinized and fixed in the redesign phase. Then it's off to the factory for production.
When a Sun Bicycles bicycle exits the factory doors, it's a bicycle we are proud of, one we'd want to ride ourselves. From the stalwart Atlas line that takes on industrial jobs like a workhorse to the Stretch Cruiser that sets the standard for strip-cruising cool, Sun bikes are tried and true for a good reason: since 1972, Sun Bicycles has always been and always will be about the bike - all day, every day.
