A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Résumé

The Specialized Sequoia is a versatile gravel bike praised for its adventure-ready geometry, comfort on long rides, and stability when loaded. It excels in blending touring utility with quick handling, making it a solid choice for both road and trail adventures. However, some models are noted for being heavy and over-geared, which can hinder performance on climbs and acceleration.

Pros
  • Adventure Geometry dialed for light trail work, long saddle days, and loaded riding.

  • Comfortable for long rides, stable when fully laden.

  • Good balance of performance and comfort, with a supple, smooth ride-feel on tarmac.

  • Many mounting options for racks and mudguards, enhancing its utility for adventure riding.

  • Carbon fork and carbon seat post contribute to comfort, reducing vibrations.

Cons
  • Heavy, affecting acceleration and climbing efficiency.

  • Over-geared for loaded, hilly bikepacking, with some models lacking optimal gearing.

  • Front end can be harsh, especially off-road, leading to earlier fatigue.

  • Inconsistent cassette increments and mixed drivetrain components can reduce shifting performance.

  • Some models lack internal cable routing, and saddle/bar tape materials may collect grime.

Key Quotes
The Sequoia fills the gap in Specialized’s 700c adventure bicycle line-up combining the touring utility of the AWOL, and the quick handling, high-tech characteristics of the Diverge.

Specialized Sequoia Elite review

oct. 2018 · Robin Wilmott

Its mix of classic road and modern adventure is far better than the sum of its spec-sheet parts. Buy if you want a bike that puts ride quality and practicality ahead of ultimate performance

Points forts
  • Great riding position, SAG kit, gearing, fine ride feel

Points faibles
  • Incomplete 105 groupset, overall weight

Steel bikes: Specialized Sequoia Elite review

oct. 2018 · Marc Abbott

A horizon-broadening heavyweight that belies its weight on the road, but it really comes into its own when you hit the hard-pack trails

What’s the Specialized Sequoia Elite got in common with the Volkswagen Bulli hippy wagon and how it compares to its sibling the Specialized Diverge?

Specialized Sequoia Review, 2017 Expert

juil. 2016 · Team Work

Named after one of the 1st bikes the company ever made, the 2017 Specialized Sequoia is an adventure rig aimed to take all-road bikepacking to a new era.

Points forts
  • Adventure Geometry dialed for light trail work, long saddle days, and loaded riding.

  • Fork cage mounts … applause!

  • Sawtooth and Cruzero tubless tire/wheel combo seems solid and well thought out.

  • Details such as the fact that the front and rear have a single spoke length… ideal for emergency prep.

  • Minimal paint and graphics are eye-pleasing.

  • The Phenom Comp saddle is surprisingly comfortable.

Points faibles
  • Carbon seatpost is super light and comfy, but not ideal for a clamp mounted seat pack, such as their own Stabilizer Seatpack or Porcelain Rocket’s Mr. Fusion.

  • The Gearing is too high for loaded, hilly bikepacking; a 36t or 38T ring up front would be a welcome addition.
