As you may recall from a previous post, where Specialized debuted the new P24 at Sea Otter, Specialized has reentered the BMX world.
And it looks like they’re serious about it this time.
The P24, which we featured a prototype of earlier, has been out for a little while now and it looks like they’ve done a good job of spec’ing out this complete bike. Its got great geometry, Reynolds cro-mo construction (with a 21.6 top tube) and nice, big 7 1/2″ X 29″ bars. The components also look solid and it’s a fairly light at the 26 pound mark.
How does it ride?
As luck would have it, cruiserrevolution.com reader, Buddy, recently picked up a P24 for himself and shared his thoughts on it.
His first impressions?
Manuals like crazy….Went to our trails today,what a blast, like a rocket…
When asked how it compares to other bikes he’s ridden:
It feels better than any of those bikes to me. I think it’s mostly the size and geometry fits me very well, perfect, (I’m 6 feet tall).
Based on the specs (and Buddy’s feedback), I think we may have another contender to consider when shopping for a new complete.
