Summary
The Specialized Camber is a versatile cross-country bike that excels in climbing efficiency and offers surprising capability on descents despite its limited travel. It features active suspension with technologies like the Brain system for improved performance, and integrates thoughtful details such as the SWAT storage. While it handles technical terrain well, some reviews note limitations in fork stiffness and travel for aggressive riding.
Efficient climbing with active suspension
Surprising descent capability for its travel
Integrated SWAT storage system
Confident handling and nimble feel
High-quality components and build
Limited suspension travel for technical terrain
Fork can bottom out or feel flexy under load
Steep head angle may feel twitchy initially
Higher price point on some models
The Camber punches above its weight class. That’s always a good thing.
BIKE Magazinethe new Camber is a completely different animal, it’s faster, it climbs like a rocket, it seems to be more capable, and with SWAT it’s certainly more versatile

BikeRadarThe Specialized Camber is a tolerant trail bike, happily tearing up the trails without much effort and handing out shedloads of confidence to less experienced riders.

The Specialized Camber is neither a purebred competition bike nor an aggressive trail bike, so what exactly is it? Could it represent the compromise?

A superbly thought-out high-speed, low-stress all-rounder for fans of traditional handling. Buy if you want a fantastically well-rounded trail bike that oozes traditional virtues
Capable and consistently controlled considering its travel and initially twitchy feel, neutrally-efficient pedalling, low weight and 29er wheels maximise speed and shrink distance, outstandingly user-friendly details
We’d like it even more with a slacker head angle and stiffer fork for opening up its aggro potential

The smartly redesigned Specialized Camber Comp 29 proves that the ‘Big Red S’ actually stands for ‘Slayer.’

We've got the new Specialized Camber Evo 29 on longterm test. Find out how we're getting on with it...
The perfect blend of handling prowess and mile-munching efficiency
Improved Spec and better looks for less money than last year
Still some of the best rear suspension in the business
Fork can become overwhelmed when you start to push
Stock stem is too long
Badly needs full internal dropper post routing

The Camber has upped its climbing prowess with the integration of the new Brain rear shock and the RockShox RS-1 fork. But does it come at the expense of descending ability? - Mtbr.com

One of the raddest things about mountain biking is how the sport can be so many things to just as many different people. However, even with all of the different styles of riding most of us have the same end goal – to get out on the trail. Usually it doesn’t matter what or where …
