"Made for riders, by riders“ – with this motto Specialized became known to the masses for their construction of bicycles. They were able to use their know how in terms of bicycle construction to continuously improve cycling clothing due to their expertise.

Founded in 1974 by Mike Sinyard in California, USA, the product portfolio, initially consisting of tyres only, was first broadened by bicycles and later also by cycling clothing. In the area of clothing, as with bikes as well, both mountainbikers with casual clothing and also athletic road bikers were served.

And the brand is also known for its committment in professional cycling sports. World tour teams as well as individual cycling athletes are being equipped by Specialized.
