Power Meter
Every Spec Crit can be equipped with the optional Stages Cycling crank arm based power meters. As an amateur or elite level rider, training and racing with a power meter is without a doubt an important upgrade option.
Wheelset
The deep section C50 Full carbon wheel set is our favorite all-rounder with a balance of Ultra-lightweight and advanced wide wheel profile (26mm) aerodynamics. At 50mm deep, it’s light yet still gives significant aero gains over a traditional climbing or box wheel. We couple each set of C50’s with the New Continental GP5000 tires. The tires are perfectly matched to the frontal aero profile of the wheelset, and have some of the lowest rolling resistance of any clincher tire on the planet, with amazing grip and puncture resistance.
Frameset:
The Crit’s advanced truncated tube shapes, slippery fork and seatpost sections, and a fully integrated aero cockpit give you an unmatched aero advantage. You will without a doubt feel the effects. Ask our fit specialist if you are unsure of frame sizing or fit.
Warranty and Spec Guarantee
At Spec bikes, we offer a 14 day return policy on new/unused items (see Terms and Conditions), and we will warranty every Spec for 1 year from purchase date (3 year frame warranty with crash protection) by repair or exchange. We stand behind the products we offer, and strive to make every customer extremely happy with the quality and value of the bicycles and parts we sell. We are always available to answer any questions you might have, and give technical advice on assembly or operation.
