Specialized Ruze comp review

Aug 2016 · Aoife Glass

A women's specific hard tail that's loads of fun with plus-sized tyres that make short work of the rough stuff (once you set them up right!). Buy if you want a versatile performance hardtail that's ideal for ripping round local trails, sucks up rough terrain, or heading off into the wilds for some backpacking action

Highs
  • Fat tyres make riding over technical terrain a breeze, adding extra suspension and traction. Geometry is specifically designed to suit women, with size-specific crank arm lengths and a low standover height.

Lows
  • You’ll need to pay close attention to the tyre pressures. Those fat tyres also add weight to the bike, and unless you invest by going tubeless, are vulnerable to puncturing.
