MTB cycling: Specialized definitely doesn't do things by halves: After the departure of Aaron Gwin, the big S from California immediately signed the entire former Lapierre Gravity Republic team. The new Specialized Gravity Team is made up of World Champion Loic Bruni, Loris Vergier and Finn Iles.

With this strong squad, the cult forge Specialized not only gets the 2015 World Champion on board, but also the 2014 Junior World Champion in Loris Vergier will participate in the UCI World Cup. The entire team will start on the Specialized S-Works Demo 8 Carbon. The bikes are equipped with SRAM components and in-house downhill tires. The Specialized 2FO shoes guarantee top riders optimum power transmission and a firm grip even in the roughest passages. Troy Brosnan from Specialized will also be sent into the races as an additional driver. With a slightly different set-up, he is chasing points for the Specialized Racing Factory Team.
