I got a killer deal on mine, but that was around the time the UDH came out. They were on deep discount, so my bet is most of them are gone. I hope you get lucky and find one because I love mine!
Check any specialized stores you can find. My friend got a deal on a VERY gently used demo bike. Non UDH, previous gen red s-works for like 6k.

Spez demo’s at the Denver and Santa Cruz stores. Both are very helpful finding you a bike at other LBS
Do you mean the Specialized Experience Center in Boulder? That’s been closed for a few years now.

Yeah, it’s a shame. As a frequent visitor, it was a great place to rent bikes for a week or as a demo. The place was ALWAYS empty though.
That was the one . Been a while since I was there. Santa Cruz is still open. I was there few months back.
Not sure where you are, but Craigslist has had some good deals in my area on trainers of late. I got a Neo 2T for $350, and there have been Kickr’s and Kickr Core’s from $200-300.

I don’t know anything about this bike beyond the specs but carbon frame, carbon wheels, flight attendant for $3800 seems like a bargain

I bought one at $4500 back in February as a do it all bike in addition to my XC bike. Really awesome bike for the money. About the only negative is the OEM Giant dropper post kind of sucks.
I have no idea why they’re having so much trouble moving them.

A friend of mine has that exact bike and loves it. He’s quit the hard core rider.
It seems weird to me. Dropper post would be an easy swap so I’m sure that’s not a deterrent. My Ibis Ripley AF dropper post is ass but didn’t stop me from buying it. If I was in the market for a new MTB or rode more to justify it I would definitely jump on that deal.
It’s also odd searching for reviews I didn’t find many.

Yeah a super good, reliable dropper like the One Up is like $280 ($215 at the moment) so for a $5000+ bike it’s not that big of a deal.

Agree. I’m sure that’s wouldn’t be a deterrent. When I bought my Ibis 3 years ago the dropper post wasn’t a concern

What size did you go with? I’m 6’2” which is in between a L and XL but I feel like I’m more like an L as my torso leans on the short side
I’m 5’8”, but short legs and long torso. Bought a size Small and I’m overall happy with it. I like that the Trance X has a longer reach, which is generally too short on bikes that fit my legs.

I’m long legs shorter torso and now comparing geometry of it vs my 2022 Ripley AF XL the giant is a bit shorter reach which likely works out better for me
Dang. Pretty much every model is on sale. Been thinking of upgrading from my 2021 Revolt to the new one.
