Spec from Specialized's then current US page (captured 2013-08; model year from the compare link family code 14Rumor). Geometry values are the low setting. MSRP $4200 read from the product's own MSRP block on its then current US page, captured 2013-08 (inside the 2014 launch window). Colors: Charcoal/Teal.
