Good video ! I lived next to a Specialized/Trek/ shop in the late 80-s to late 90's and never got a taste for them. I now , many years later have 2 black hardrocks, an 99 A1 Expedition,and 2 FSR enduro's. still no treks though. I like Rocky mountain,GT,Norco,Kona mostly though .
Own 2 stumpjumper .1 a 1998 m2 in green .used it for years , snapped 1 of the front legs giving it some abuse at style cop Cannock. Last September Propa big crash Then there the 2013 full carbon with carbon sram 00X love the finish, light weight and fast. Although now in my 50s think an electric model maybe?
Meh, I appreciate Specialized are basically responsible for the modern MTB but I think they're overrated these days. Trading on history and overpriced when they're not really offering anything different to anyone else. Can I also say I love the bit of the intro with the trees and the pouring rain, that's exactly what mountain biking in the UK is like 95% of the year 😂
Thanks Steve, I’m not personally the biggest fan of specialized, I had a second hand vegas Bmx and it was okay, nothing special. They were a pain for independent bike shops as the seat post size was always specific to specialized, that’s probably change now.

I do like the idea of e-bikes it’s just hard to justify the cost 💲
Venge obvs😊
The Specialized name is still closely associated with snobbery
I can think of a few brands that snobbery is a good word for.

A bit unidimensional, maybe this makes sense if you live in the US.
