It's light… Like, 185 grams light

For XC racing, stiffness equals speed. Borrowing inspiration from trail bike tech, Specialized knew a 35mm bar clamp width would give the rigidity athletes demand, and function as the backbone for the ultra-light, hand laid up carbon.

But, light-weight and stiffness aren't the only pieces of the puzzle. Riders also need high-precision control while descending, and a comfortable, sustainable position on grueling climbs. The Roval Control SL's 780mm width allows you to dial in your perfect size, and it's World Championship proven geometry gives the confidence to attack any segment.
