As a mountain bike rider, the previous brand tier for Specialized was
a decent brand between A~ S, but after S-Works came out
regular models seemed to drop in level...
Specialized saw a lot of success after launching S-Works, but on the flip side there are
many painful weak points that emerged, which is a subjective feeling I get a lot..
For example, with Pinarello as well, depending on whether the Dogma decal is included or not
the feeling of the bike coming closer feels very different..
I wonder if this tier-based marketing is a double-edged sword for the brand's perspective
