    I seemed to have my heart set on a Fuji Absolute 2.0 from Performace Bike.But after 2 failed attempts at trying to ride and purchase one (due to terrible sales staff at both locations) I decided to give [...] a shot.I am so glad I did, the bike is within my budget line and has more for the money than most on the market.I changed the pedals and hand grips and might change the tires but overall I am impressed.The bike rides so amazingly smooth and very responsive in all areas. BRAVO!

    I went to the bike shop with my heart set on a Trek Gary Fisher 8.3 dual sport bike that I test rode a few weeks earlier. The bike shop had a sale and the first person to ask me if I needed help was a Specialist rep that happened to be at the store. I test rode the Trek and then he asked if I would like to try a comparable Specialist model of his. I figured what would it hurt. Well I test drove The Crosstrail Sport Disc and was amazed at how much better the bike rode and how amazing the hydraulic disk brakes performed. I was instantly in love even though the Specialist was a hundred bucks more. I thought about it for a few minutes and just had to get the Specialist! I have only had the bike for 2 days but have already put 30 miles on it and am so glad I was able to test ride and compare a few different bikes. I highly reccomend this bike. It handles great on pavement, gravel and dirt. Try to test ride this bike and you will be amazed at how versatile it is!

      Ride daily about 5-10 miles during the week and about 25 miles on Saturday and Sunday. Wife has an 2012 Ariel Sport Disk that is equally as nice. Two great bikes!

        I have been cycling for 40+ years. I am a cycling commuter and former Police Bicycle Patrol Officer. I am also a member of a cycling relay team having cycled all over North America. This is one of the best if not the best (mountain/hybrid) bicycle(s) I have ever ridden. This Crosstrail Sport provides a very smooth and efficient ride. I lock out the front suspension for a strong ride on the roads. The hydraulic-disc brakes are extremely smooth and effortless. I nice light and super fast machine. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a strong commuter bike with off road capabilities. I will always be true to Kona but Specialized has now made a believer out of me!

          I could not haven choose a better bike. I use this to commute to work. I have never heard so many people tell me that is a great bike! Several people are now looking into a Specialized bike after seeing my Crosstrail.

            I am back to cycling after a couple decades raising a family. The last bike was an 80's Fuji road bike I used to commute twenty-some years ago. I wanted to get more exercise and enjoy the scenery. This bike is perfect. I am a large guy: 6'1", 230 lbs, and this style bike met my needs. It's smooth, fast, and hauls keester (thanks, language filter). This has been a fun return to cycling, and my local bike shop was top notch. This is a nicely spec'd rig with quality components. It was worth everything I paid for it.

              This Specialized's Crosstrail Sport Disc is excellent! Great on both dirt and pavement. Its A1 Premium aluminum frame is outstanding and SR SunTour suspension fork and smooth-rolling 700c wheels make either dirt or pavement ... not a problem. The quick shifts from the Shimano 24-speed drivetrain provide seamless shifting. And the Tektro hydraulic-disc brakes give outstanding stopping power in any weather for the price! Specialized Body Geometry saddle provides a great ride! My previous bike was a Specialized Hard Rock Sport which was a great bike, but this one is WoW!
