Specialized Langster

2008

Description

Velodrome/Fixed-Gear Road
SPEED DEMON Built for rallying city streets and lapping racers at the velodrome, the Langsterâ„¢ is as gutsy a ride as it getsâ€”pure and simple, yet fast as hell. Sometimes one speed is all you need.Inside Tech
Making a bike look as fast as it rides isn't always the easiest thing. But this year our designers went over the top to give the Langster the style and personality it really deserves. Representing some of the greatest cities in the world, this year's Langsters include colorways for London, Chicago, Seattle, New York and Boston.
