Specialized online store goes live in Singapore
October 7, 2018
Singapore fans of Specialized will be happy to hear that the official online retail platform of the US cycling giant has just gone live at www.specialized.com/sg/en. While the Specialized Concept Store and Tay Junction have done a good job over the years of showcasing Specialized’s wares (and we’re sure they will continue to do so), they perhaps at times didn’t go far enough in terms of stocking the full range of Specialized products. Plus if you didn’t live near Ubi or Bukit Timah it meant a schelp!
And with Singapore shoppers unable to purchase from the US, UK and Australian Specialized websites, it was sometimes a bit frustrating at not being able to get that special desired item.
That should all change now with the new Singapore online platform served by the new Specialized warehouse situated right here on the little red dot. And if initial operations are anything to go by, the system is working perfectly.

The good people at Specialized Southeast Asia were kind enough to offer Flat Spoke Media a discount code to try out the www.specialized.com/sg/en platform and after perusing the wide array of goods on the website, we chose a pair of Enduro Comp Shorts … while firmly planted in the road side of cycling we dabble on the dark side too, plus MTB shorts are great for traveling to bike races.
We placed the order at 1:07pm last Friday, October 5. We received an email at 4:32pm the same day saying the order had been filled and at 11:26am the next morning a Speedpost delivery man knocked on the front door and handed over the package. Impressive!
The website is super easy to navigate around and there are hundreds of items to choose from. And as value of the order was over $100, we benefited from free shipping.

Local bike shops, especially the ones that stock Specialized products 😉, need and deserve the support of the Singapore cycling community. Indeed, nothing beats going to a friendly shop to hang out and check out what’s on display before buying IN THE SHOP. But lets face it, work, family and a zillion other commitments mean it’s not always convenient to go visit our favourite bike shops, and so the new www.specialized.com/sg/en platform is going to be a major enhancement to the community.
Try it out for yourself. Specialized Southeast Asia has given Flat Spoke Media a 15 percent discount code – ALAN15FF – to share to our readers that can be used until November 1, 2018. Happy shopping. www.specialized.com/sg/en
