Specialized launches another Sagan Collection of limited edition bikes and accessories

Peter Sagan is so popular he gets his own custom collection of bikes. Again

It’s another Sagan Collection, a limited edition range of bikes and accessories painted in a unique colour scheme to honour the impressive achievements of Peter Sagan.

Not for the first time has Specialized produced a Sagan Collection, but these latest round of specially designed bikes is lot better looking than the brash gold of the previous range.

This latest Sagan Collection is titled Chasing Rainbows and has been designed to “capture Peter’s two personalities, Overexposed and Underexposed,” representing the two sides of the world champion.

It appears to be an update of the Sagan Collection launched at the 2018 Tour de France with the same two-tone design, but different colours this time. The complete bikes also feature smaller logos on the Roval wheels giving a more understated appearance though the mirror treatment still provides a bit of bling.

Overexposed features loud silvers and prominent rainbows and is very much alluding to his star presence. Underexposed meanwhile is more subtle with blacks and greys for when he wants to stay out of the spotlight and slip under the radar.

The collection includes bikes, obviously, with the S-Works Tarmac, Venge and Allez Sprint, all models that he has ridden once or twice this season. You have a choice of framesets priced from £1,350 up to complete bikes costing £10,250. Oddly there’s no Roubaix option…

If you want a slice of the Sagan Collection on a smaller budget, there’s a range of accessories you can pick from, including the Evade aero helmet or S-Works 7 shoes. There are also tyres, t-shirts and socks.

How limited is the range? Just 20 of each bike and frame will be produced and less than 50 shoes and helmets for each size. Those numbers will ensure these become very exclusive and rare products and means you better act quick if you want to get your hands on any of it.

Here are all the prices:

Cynical marketing move it may by Specialized, but there's no denying the incredible popularity of Sagan. He's box office material and the third Sagan Collection is a testament to his ability to sell bikes. Plus, they're pretty decent looking paint schemes and I wouldn't hesitate to choose one over a stock frame colour.

He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes

A fool and their money are soon parted.

I went into a Rapha shop for the first time yesterday, and left without buying anything

Opportunity missed by specialized, they've missed a trick by not putting Sagan's best quote about "if a dog doesn't s**t, he'll explode" in iridescent paint along the top tube.
