Picture

 Specialized Big Hit III has a picture done in aluminum A1. To the glance for the picture it is notable his strength and the great welds.

The picture does 200mm of course and has the system of deadening FSR. This system is patented by the specialized and is responsible because of deadening the great impacts, without compromising the sensibility to girls irregularidades.

 

Suspension, shock absorber:

The suspension of the front is a Marzocchi 888 with 200 mm of course. It was not possible to test the suspension in the very performance, due to the rebound that was too quick. Nevertheless, there was perceptible the linearidade of the course and the sensibility to absorb the girls irregularidades. Apesar disso, foi perceptível a linearidade do curso e a sensibilidade a absorver as pequenas irregularidades.

The shock absorber Fox DHX4 together with the system FSR they do a fantastic pair. This pair has an exemplary behavior in the absorption of irregularidades, jumps, drops, any type of land.

 

Transmission

The changes commanded by a desviador Sram X-9, are gentle and precise. Less good note, for the guide of current that makes noise enough in winding descents.

 

Brakes

The brakes juicy 5 with discs of 203mm were surprising for his it potentiates. Even in the end of the descents, they had a powerful travagem.

The touch of these brakes was difficult to dose, what it makes them not much brusque.

 

Tires

The penus Specialized Chunder 2.3 fulfill his funçao with destinçao

 

Performance

This bicycle what concerns passage of obstacles, like stones, roots, drops, is held surprising. Less surprising is the behavior in curve, in this field little manobrável demonstrated the bicycle. In several descents that I did, I found the pedals little followers what caused some instability. Nas várias descidas que fiz, achei os pedais pouco aderentes o que causou alguma instabilidade.

 

This bicycle is an excellent choice to begin in the Freeride and in the Downhill. È a suitable bicycle for any challenge that is imposed on him.

Obliged á It Moves Free by Motovedras that made the bicycle available for test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specialized Big Hit III 2008 from BTT paths on Vimeo.

To go to a festibike and not to try bikes is how to go to Rome and not to see Eats it.

As such, the BTTveredas tried and he tested the resistance of the material (this time I did not break any prop eheh)

The victims of the Test-Drive were the next ones:
Specialized: Epic, Stumpjumper and Pitch Pro
Scott: Genius 20 Carbon

(it clicks in “more …” to read what we find of the bikes and to see the remaining photos)

(more …)

The Rabbet was already walking asking for me in order that we did a video test to the piece of news bike of him, then so we did it. We already filmed some scenes with the normal camera, now we wanted to innovate a little and to do a few jokes with cameras on-board. While the final video is not ended, I leave here some funny scenes to you and bloopers of the first day of filming. Enquanto o vídeo final não está concluído, deixo-vos aqui algumas cenas engraçadas e bloopers do primeiro dia de filmagens.
