Each Frame size has been developed independently, guaranteeing that each is capable of withstand the real-world stresses introduced by the corresponding rider. This has been done by collecting rider input forces for every frame size on different types of climbs and descents, Specialized then calculated the optimal stiffness and compliance targets, to help achieve high performance targets with ease. With two frame measurements instead of one being used the Rider-First Technology measures optimal power transfer and steering response for each frame size.
