Specialized launches the exclusive S-Works Forward 50 LTD collection

During this 2024 Specialized is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Now, to honor that round figure with an eye already on what has to come over the next 50 years, the Morgan Hill brand launches the limited edition Forward 50 LTD collection of its bikes and matching helmets with a spectacular design.

S-Works Forward 50 LTD celebrates the 50th anniversary of Specialized

Spectacular design that the S-Works Tarmac SL8 and S-Works Epic World Cup bikes have received on the occasion of the launch of the Forward 50 LTD collection with which Specialized wants to celebrate its 50 years of history with an eye on the next 50 years, as the name of this collection well implies.

A design in which gray predominates but in which golden details are also included to represent that 50th anniversary and the desire to continue improving. On the other hand, we also find pink as a nod to the historic Team Stumjumper and that irreverent and rebellious spirit of late 70s mountain biking in which the brand forged its fame and which must continue to be the driving force that propels them over the next half century.

The S-Works Forward 50 LTD collection includes the S-Works Tarmac SL8 of which 250 units will be manufactured with this design. The same number will be available for the S-Works Epic World Cup in addition to a variable number of their S-Works Prevail 3 and S-Works Evade 3 helmet models with a design matching that of the bikes.
