Specialized road and gravel bikes are updated to be up to date

The new SRAM Force AXS and Rival AXS groups arrive in the Specialized range, which has immediately incorporated them into its Pro, Comp, and Expert models, thus raising their level and performance with the weight improvement provided by these new groups and the improvements in operation and ergonomics that bring them closer to the top-of-the-range Red.

Special mention to the arrival of the XPLR versions of both Force AXS and Rival AXS to the Crux gravel and cyclocross model, which represents a significant change as these bikes now have transmissions with 13 sprockets.

The new UCI regulations go directly against many current advancements: high tire maximums, handlebar measurements, fork width...

What can we expect in the Tour de France after what has happened in the Dauphiné?

The impressive salary of Pidcock at Q36.5 would leave him as the second highest paid cyclist in the world
