While at Interbike, I spent some time talking to Chris Matthews of Specialized's Global Marketing division. This is one innovative company! Chris told me about Specialized's new carbon fiber frame building technology/technique called Az1 and described the design behind the new line of cycling specific eyewear. We also learned first hand about the benefits of Specialized's Body Geometry design for cycling shoes at the Outdoor Demo. (More about the eyewear and shoes in subsequent posts).
The S-Works division at Specialized is "where goals like lighter and faster are pursued without regard to effort, expense, or tradition." While you may see the S-Works name on frames or components across various product lines, it is only reserved for the most innovative of products in that particular line. This cross-functional R&D team has been hard at work doing amazing things with carbon fiber across both it's 2006 road and mountain bike lines.
