Easily the most versatile women's XC Trail bike on the market, the 120mm-travel Safire uses women's-specific geometry, Total Suspension Integration and an intuitive FlowControl Brain damper to deliver a sure-fire combination of speed, efficiency and superior handling. Fit for every trail you can get your wheels on.
  • An adjustable Fox Talas fork allows the rider pick their level of travel: 140, 120 or 100mm, complete with compression/rebound adjust and lockout.
  • Custom Shimano crankset is light, stiff and shifts smooth in every condition.
  • Fox Triad rear shock, custom-tuned for the Safire, with on-the-fly 3-position damping: lockout, open or ProPedal, plus adjustable rebound.
  • Our custom DT Swiss rims and DT Swiss stainless spokes are superior in weight and class. Exclusive to Specialized.
