The Specialized FSRxc Expert is a specialized XR bike developed to withstand the intensity of professional-level cross-country racing. It is third in the FSRxc 2010 series and replaces many of its 2009 version’s defunct components with more durable and reliable engineering. For instance, the Expert sports a softer fork spring that weighs less, which makes riding either uphill or downhill at fast speeds much easier to accomplish. As for the geometry, it’s not so aggressive as to make riding an uncomfortable experience, but it is tough enough to push users forward. Ultimately, it is slightly lacking from the Pro though, in that the tires are noted to be especially soft, and the suspension could use some tweaks.
