Supercross is Specialized

More and more supercross riders are turning to cycling for intensive cross-training to improve and maintain their fitness. That includes Ryan Villopoto, the sport’s number one rider. And what does Villopoto train on? Specialized road and mountain bikes of course.

Villopoto won supercross’ biggest prize in 2011, the Supercross class championship, and started 2012 with the coveted No. 1 plate on his Kawasaki and Specialized bikes.

“Racing motorcycles requires a lot of fitness, and riding bicycles is for sure the best way of cardio training for us; it’s low impact and still ties me in on the two wheels and provides the necessary training to carry over to the motorcycle,” Villopoto said.

“I ride Specialized because I believe they have the most advanced bikes and equipment out there. I am blessed to ride the top-of-the-line factory motorcycles, and to have the same top-line bicycles to train on is truly unreal.”

This year, Specialized is sponsoring Villopoto, the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki team, and the Lucas Oil/Troy Lee/Honda Team.

Want to ride like supercross’ top riders? Stop by BikeSource and test ride a Specialized bike just like the pros train on.

And the Winner is: the Venge!

This September, Mark Cavendish won the UCI World Road Championship in Copenhagen. Cavendish’s victory marks the 17th World Championship title from a Specialized rider. Cavendish won while riding Specialized’s new aerodynamic bike, the Venge. This bike is so fast that the only other racer who came close to Cavendish was also riding one! The Venge’s winning combination of lightweight, stiffness, and aerodynamics gives the rider razor sharp speed and effortless handling, which is what makes it so perfect for racing – and racing to win! This all-star bike received 4.5/5 stars on bikeradar.com and is now Cavendish’s preferred ride. So if you’re a serious racer looking for the ultimate performance bike, then look no further than the Venge.
