SPECIALIZED FUTURE SHOCK 3.3

SPECIALIZED FUTURE SHOCK 3.3

The Future Shock debuted in 2016 and quickly proved its effectiveness by winning Paris-Roubaix in 2018 and 2019. Positioned between the handlebar stem and the headset, it moves opposite to the impact forces that strike the wheel and travel up the fork’s legs. It substantially reduces the impact and vibration on the handlebars, while keeping the front of the bike rigid for precise handling. The result is a 53% reduction in force compared with the competition in typical road cyclist impacts. The result is a smoother ride and greater control to stay fast and safe. The Future Shock 3.0 is adjustable, so every rider can benefit from a 20mm travel.

SPECIALIZED FUTURE SHOCK 3.3 MAIN FEATURES:

• ADJUSTABLE: Individual riders can adjust the Future Shock 3.0 response to roughness based on their terrain. Three different springs are available — firm, medium, and soft — and for each of them you can use up to five preload spacers. Do you need a stiff setup for an aggressive position on big cobbles, like the pros? Or perhaps you ride in a relaxed position and want it soft to absorb high-frequency vibrations? The setup can be easily changed at home in a few minutes. If you can remove a handlebar mount, you can install a Future Shock 3.0.
• SEATPOST REGULATION: As much as possible to adjust Future Shock 3.0, there are still times when you want firmer or softer settings on the same ride. Quiet climb? Keep the stiffness. Difficult descent? Open it up. The new Future Shock (model 3.3) offers better compression adjustment in the saddle.
• FUTURE SHOCK 3.3: hydraulic damping to control movement for a more controlled and comfortable ride. The rider can adjust preload to set the stiffness required for their seating position or terrain. Compression can be adjusted while seated.
