This is a serious find. The 2001 Specialized S-Works FSX XC isn’t just a mountain bike; it’s a high-water mark for the "weight-weenie" era and a masterclass in turn-of-the-century cross-country engineering.
Here is a description designed to grab the attention of collectors and purists alike.
The Apex of Analog: 2001 Specialized S-Works FSX XC
Relive the glory days of cross-country dominance.
In 2001, the S-Works FSX XC was the undisputed king of the race circuit. While the world was flirting with heavier, clunkier full-suspension designs, Specialized perfected the lightweight, hardtail-killing full-suspension machine. This isn't just a bike; it’s a piece of mountain bike history that’s still ready to shred.
Why It’s a Legend:
M5 Alloy Heritage: Built with Specialized’s legendary M5 Manipulated Alloy, this frame was engineered to be lighter and stiffer than anything else on the trail.
FSR Technology: The active-linkage FSR suspension was—and still is—the gold standard for maintaining traction under braking and power. It’s 80mm of plush, efficient travel that feels like a rocket on the climbs.
Period-Correct Precision: From the aggressive geometry to the iconic "Team Red" aesthetic, every inch of this bike screams World Cup pedigree.
