The Specialized Sequoia Elite is a great, race-ready bike for a cyclist who wants a comfortable way to get into racing, or wants to raise their riding to a higher, faster level. Equipped with top-quality Shimano 105 components, this bike combines speed and quality. It is also an ideal bike for long bike tours or cycling events, as it’s just so comfortable – plus the extra set of brakes effectively gives you three different body positions: hands in the drops, hands on the lower brakes, hands on the upper brakes. This ability to change position would definitely make it easier to complete a long distance, such as a century, or a multi-day event, on the Sequoia Specialized Elite.
