USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Every Specialized bicycle and frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary with the construction and materials of the bicycle or frameset, the maintenance and care the bicycle or frameset receives over its useful product life cycle, and the type and amount of use the bicycle or frameset is subject to. Uses in competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset. Any one or a combination of these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure of a Specialized bicycle or frameset that would not be covered by this warranty. ALL SPECIALIZED BICYCLES AND FRAMESETS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY CHECKED BY AN AUTHORIZED SPECIALIZED DEALER for indicators of stress and/or potential failure, including cracks, deformation, corrosion, paint peeling, dents, and any other indicators of potential problems, inappropriate use, or abuse. These are important safety checks and very important to help prevent accidents, bodily injury to the rider and shortened useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.

Special Note regarding Composite Frames and Components:

Composite materials develop

their strength and maintain strength only if the

integrity

of

the

part is

fully

maintained. Pay special

attention

to, and periodically and carefully inspect composite frames

and components for signs of

dents, fraying, gouging, scratches, fracture lines,

chipping.

In

the

event

of a

crash or serious impact,

or if any

of the foregoing signs are observed, the component and frame should not be ridden until inspected by an Authorized Specialized Dealer. For your safety, Specialized recommends replacing composite handlebars after three years of use.

BigHit specifications

The Specialized BigHit is a formidable mountain bike designed for aggressive trail riders and downhill enthusiasts who prioritize performance and durability without compromising on comfort. Known for its robust construction and advanced technology, the BigHit has carved out a significant place in the world of downhill and freeride biking.

One of the standout features of the Specialized BigHit is its unique frame geometry, which is engineered to handle tough descents and challenging terrains with confidence. The bike's slack head angle provides stability at high speeds, while a responsive rear end allows for precise cornering and maneuverability. The aluminum frame is both lightweight and strong, ensuring that riders can tackle rugged trails without worrying about structural integrity.

The BigHit comes equipped with a high-performance suspension system, utilizing Specialized’s FSR (Horst Link) technology. This design allows for incredible shock absorption, effectively smoothing out bumps and technical features of the trail. The rear suspension typically offers a generous travel range, enabling riders to feel in control while descending steep hills or navigating rough terrain. In addition, adjustable suspension settings allow riders to fine-tune their bike to suit personal preferences and varied trail conditions.

Braking performance on the Specialized BigHit is top-notch. With high-quality hydraulic disc brakes, riders benefit from consistent stopping power, which is crucial when racing down descents or making quick stops. These braking systems are designed to perform well in wet conditions, further adding to the bike's versatility in diverse weather scenarios.

Another notable characteristic is the BigHit's wheel and tire setup. Larger-diameter wheels not only roll over obstacles more efficiently but also enhance stability and traction. The bike is often outfitted with aggressive tires that offer superior grip, allowing riders to maintain control on loose surfaces and technical paths.

In terms of design, the Specialized BigHit also highlights an aesthetic appeal, coming in eye-catching color schemes that reflect its bold performance. Its ergonomic touchpoints, such as handlebar height and saddle adjustments, ensure a comfortable riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the trail ahead.

Overall, the Specialized BigHit represents a blend of innovative technology and rugged performance, making it an excellent choice for those looking to ride with confidence and style on downhill and aggressive terrain.
