Specialized released their 2016 Rumor 650b bike at Sea Otter. The Rumor 29 will still be available, but with the addition of the new wheel size, riders can enjoy the Rumor in the size that matches their riding style and preferences. The 130mm travel 650b Rumor has more travel, shorter chainstays, lower standover, longer reach, and a slacker head angle than the Rumor 29. We had the opportunity to ride this bike before Sea Otter on the trails around the Laguna Seca. Read our initial impressions here..
