Specialized Cycling products

Specialized Bicycle Components, commonly referred to as Specialized, was founded by Mike Sinyard. The company initially imported Cinelli parts from Italy to the U.S.A in the years following 1974. The Californian-based company entered component creation themselves in 1976, with the first product being the Specialized Touring Tyre.

Now best known for its bicycles, the brand began production in 1979 with the Allez, a road bike, and the Sequoia, a sport touring bike. Specialized was the first company to mass produce the mountain bike, introducing the Stumpjumer in 1981 which along with the Allez and Sequoia, remains in the range to this day albeit with a few advancements over the years.
