Limited Early Release of 2013 Specialized HardRock HardTail Sport at Bicycle World RGV

June 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Bicycle World RGV's has worked carefully with Specialized Bikes and is now able to announce that bike enthusiasts will get a leg up on this summer's most anticipated and versatile mountain bikes.  Specialized has provided Bicycle World with a limited early supply of the new 2013 Specialized Hardrock Hardtail 29ers in all three stores now.

If you've been shopping around for a mountain bike that will keep up with your lifestyle's active needs, Specialized Bicycles is introducing the 2013 model year of a bike that can deliver.  Whether you're looking for a bike to use as a commuter by day and a trail hopper for the afternoon hours, or if you're looking for a bike that you can carry you through mean urban streets or use as a beach cruiser on weekends, the durable, versatile and capable HardRock Sport may be the perfect bike for you.

According to owner Henry Roberts, "Trendy 29" wheels now dominate the hardtail market for a reason, they just work better. The improved traction and ride quality is immediately noticeable on the Hardrock Sport Disc 29, as is Specialized's highly refined 29er geometry that makes the best use of this larger wheel format. With a smooth SR Suntour 29er fork with lockout, powerful Tektro HDC 300 hydraulic disc brakes, and double-walled 29" alloy wheels, the Hardrock Sport Disc 29er is prepared for both mountain trails and urban jungles."

Specifications for the 2012 Specialize Hardrock HT Sport.
   •   Specialized A1 Premium Butted Aluminum frame
   •   29" SR Suntour 80mm travel fork
   •   Shimano Altus 8-speed shifters 
   •   Shimano Acera rear derailleur
   •   Tektro HDC 300 160mm disc brakes
   •   Double-walled Hardrock 29" wheelset
   •   Specialized Fast Trak Sport tires
   •   Specialized Body Geometry Saddle

Roberts also noted, "Normally the next season models begin to show up on showroom floors in September or even later.  And some models will undoubtedly still be released much later in the year.  However, robust sales of Specialized mountain bikes created a shortage and many 2012 models have been sold out for a while now.  So we were able to get some of these 2013 bikes early."

Bicycle World has three stores in the RGV located in Harlingen, Brownsville, and McAllen.  For specific locations, directions, or hours, please visit the website at http://bicycleworldrgv.com
