The name says it all! Specialized wants to get anyone and everyone outside rolling around on these versatile bikes. The Roll makes good use of a sturdy aluminum frame with a healthy, upright body position and smart geometry that is easy for anyone to hop on and enjoy. It turns out that bicycles don’t need to cost an arm and a leg to deliver a daily dose of fun and fitness.
The Roll Sport takes the already fantastic Roll base and adds a 21-speed Shimano drivetrain for those who live in a more hilly area or just want to have more gears to choose from. It also steps up to mechanical disc brakes for smoother stopping power with less effort. To complement the upright riding position, Specialized utilized their Body Geometry “The Cup” saddle to ensure a soft and comfortable ride for any backside.
