Summary
The Specialized Camber is a well-regarded trail bike that offers a lively and confident ride, with user-friendly geometry and impressive suspension performance. It's praised for its sorted handling and robust feel, though some riders note the 2x10 front chainring configuration takes getting used to and the fork lacks through-axle. The bike is often compared to the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR and Epic, highlighting its position in the trail bike category.
Lively and confident ride
User-friendly geometry
Impressive suspension performance
Sorted handling
Robust feel
2x10 front chainring configuration takes getting used to
Lacks through-axle fork
Rear shock felt sluggish and slightly over-damped
It's a decent weight at under 27lb and delivers a lively yet confident ride.
The Camber is a perfect example of how a bike’s capability is dictated at least as much by its shape as by its travel.
Ticks every ‘must have’ box
The whole package is really light for the money too
That fact that it looks great and is under $3000 is just icing on the cake.

feb 2012 · Danny Milner
The fact that there’s a carbon version of the Camber 29 and more models than in the 26in version, speaks volumes of Specialized’s commitment to 29in wheels.
