Pitch 27.5

Icon

2020 Pitch 27.5

A mountain bike is freedom: the ability to pick a spot on the map and say, “Let’s go there,” or maybe go off the map altogether. With a lightweight frame, responsive front suspension, and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, the Pitch 27.5 is your perfect adventure partner.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Riders have long debated whether fast-rolling 29er wheels were better than nimble 26ers. Turns out, the sweet spot for many is right in between, so the Pitch rolls on 27.5-inch wheels that keep much of a 29er’s confident handling in a tighter, lighter package.

STRONG YET SMOOTH

The A1 Premium Aluminum is burlier than a brontosaurus’s backbone. But strong doesn’t have to mean harsh or heavy. Our engineers went over every tube, tweaking, pinching, nipping and tucking to make sure it offers a smooth ride no matter what the trail conditions are.

TOP TO BOTTOM QUALITY

The Pitch’s sure-handling Sport Trail 27.5 Geometry provides unrivaled stability.

SR SunTour XCE suspension fork keeps you grounded on the most technical trails.

Shimano hydraulic disc brakes offer best-in-class power and reliability.

Good budget build with great geometry!

Had 2020 model and with my 178cm height L size worked excellently, now on 2018 M - smaller but bought it for trail shredder project...with 120mm Rock Shox Recon fork and upgraded Spank wheels and 2x9 XT drivetrain could be very capable kinda starter hardtail. Frame holds well, dont get scared with qr hubs (or boooosting trends), the original factory hubs may get smashed but overtime upgrades canmade this very capable tool for almost every trail.

2019 pitch

served me well, had to switch out the headset to fit a tapered fork upgraded to a xt drivetrain, qr dropouts definitely hold it back but with a 130mm fork it is a perfect trail bike

Best bike that lasts for years and still feels brand new after four years

Best bike I’ve ever had. Perfect for riding on the street or up in brionies on the hardest trail. Overall great bike that will last you for years. I’ve had mine for four years and still feels brand new. The chain almost never falls off unless your being stupid about it. Overall amazing bike.👍

Great for flow trails

The pitch is great through the berms and big lips. I would recommend this bike to flowy riders who like a trail with berms and jumps. While this is a good flow bike, it also handles tech surprisingly well, especially roots and rocks. Overall, I would recommend this bike to anyone but especially flow riders.

Great bike

This bike is great for only $750 I can do massive jumps and steep trails and I have no complaints I’ve been able to 25 foot jumps and it has handled them fine great for beginners and even for higher skill leveled riders with a low budget

Solid Specialized purchase as always

Purchased for my 10 year old daughter and it's going strong in its 2nd year. Love the 2x9 gears and the stock tires providing excellent shifting and traction. As a 20+ year Specialized owner I always come back based on reliability and affordability. And, I've worked in the bike industry building, repairing, and selling other brands (which I wouldn't buy). My FSR XC from 1998 still operates great serving as a backup ride option (which I've never needed).

Would Recommend?
Yes!
