Specialised Camber Comp AL on test
You're standing at the start of a challenging trail and this bike tells you: don't panic, we can do it.

One reason for this is the balanced geometry. Whether going uphill or downhill, you sit "in the bike" and feel perfectly integrated into the system. The Camber is efficient and extremely smooth when pedalling, with hardly any bobbing noticeable even when pedalling out of the saddle. The bike also flies smoothly downhill over the trail, but is agile enough to adapt to any desired change of direction. Minor riding errors are easily ironed out by the efficient suspension. Nice details: shock with Autosag and bottle cage with integrated mini-tool.


Conclusion: a reliable bike that is just as much fun for beginners as it is for ambitious trail athletes.


AlternativeThe Rhyme FSR Comp has even more downhill potential with 150 mm travel. 3899 euros.
