Had mine 4 years now with 0 issues with it. Took it up dome tougher mountain bike trails which it handled with no problem. Definetely a great and durable bike at a great price

Soo good for begginers

best bike i have had, the chain just falls off sometimes

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.

Been using it for 2 years. Very durable and still feels like new. Highly recommended

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 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.👍

The flow of the bike is nice, a little heavy though

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.

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

I ride this bike to and from school every day and god this is a good bike.

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).

Love it! Had it for a while now and i can not fault it!

Bought this for my 11 yo last year who I have 50% custody and it's been the absolute worst bike I've ever owned. Keep in mind, I said 50% custody so ridden pretty sparingly. Derailer has bent by just sitting the bike down multiple times, shifter completely broke.. Granted after a little spill but nothing that should break a so called mountain bike. Oh my son is maybe 90 pounds so not ridden hard at all . Now the bike won't shift correctly and it's skipping gears after I just had it fixed from the shop I bought it from. They are now telling me the detailer is garbage on this bike and I need to upgrade. This after they performed free work so they are an honest shop. My buddy had had the same bike, older version and nothing has ever broke with his 14yo beating on it. Stay away from this bike is absolutely the worst and you will spend more then if you just buy a better one getting another brand. So long specialized!

Really good to start off with. My only complaint is the combo shifters, that kinda dissuades any upgrades. Besides that, good buy.

I am a beginner mountain bike rider. I have ridden this bike on the street plenty of times and it is great. I just went out on the trails last weekend for the first time and had lots of fun with the bike It is super light and easy to move around on tight trails. It held up to some rough terrain. The suspension is pretty good for small jumps. No issues to report yet.

I bought this bike a couple of weeks ago and been riding pretty hard trails and this thing holds up like a beast. There definitely stuff I would like to upgrade but this is good balance for price,fun, and money!!

I bought this bike in November after riding on a very old hardtail a few times. Now, after riding it for about six months, I LOVE it. Its easy to maneuver and a good learners bike. I plan on getting a full suspension bike in the future, but this one serves well for the time being and the trails I am working on.

Sure, it's not top of the line. It's not built to exacting standards with the best parts money can buy. But it's also not $8k. I'm late 30s and needed to make a lifestyle change to be more active. I remembered riding bikes as a teenager and having fun, so figured maybe a bike would be a good way to drop a few lbs and have fun doing it. There are MTB trails less than a mile from the house, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, or if I'd be able to even do it, so I didn't want to spend a bunch of cash on a bicycle. But, I got into it, and love it. I've replaced a myriad of parts to better suit me: fork, crankset/bottom bracket, cassette, derailleur, brake calipers and levers, wheels, pedals, seat post (added a dropper).... And I absolutely love it now. It's a rowdy little hardtail that's an absolute blast to go out and do stupid things on. It served the purpose for me to get back into biking after 20+ years not on a bike. It let me enjoy some time customizing something to make it my own. It helped me learn about components on more recent bikes.

I just bought the specialized pitch in crimson red. I am not a beginner mountain biker, but I have not been biking much in the past few years and I needed a new bike. I didn't want to spend too much money, so I got the pitch. I really enjoy the bike. It works great out of the box! The fork and drivetrain are not high end stuff, but they work well. I might make some upgrades to it in the future, but I am not sure yet.

I bought this bike and I LOVED it. It's very responsive, the brakes work like a charm and it quick and nimble around turns. My favorite hardtail ever!

Good intro to trail riding, confidence inspiring quality. With options to upgrade as you progress
