We came to the conclusion that these are 2 bikes with a different soul: both perfect for competitive use but with the Trek more shifted towards the descent while the Specialized towards the pedal. The more technical bikers will be able to take advantage of the greater agility of the Specialized to emerge in the most tortuous paths while with the Trek they will appreciate the fact of leveling everything, including rocks, as long as they are moderately trained (riding strong with aggressive geometries also requires more physical). For all the others, if we are undecided, ask yourself this question: do I want a bike for very technical / all-mountain rides or more in the bike park / competitive use? If you can answer this question, you have chosen the right bike for you.

[email protected] I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
