You can get the serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket, and call specialized. They’ll give you the exact model, year, info
The front tire will tell you the size. 26 x ??, 27.5 x ???, or 29 x ???
The first numbers is your tire size. So you’ll know exactly what wheel size you need.
Specialized can help, but it looks like an older bike so you may need a 9mm x 135mm. This is the axle size.
So your wheel search could be “26in , 9 x 135mm rear wheel “
If specialized comes back and say you have a 141mm, then don’t bother with a wheel. So many people have issues with his size, and instead of finding a new wheel, they’ll sell it (just needs a new back wheel!). A 141mm wheel is hard to find
Also. This would be better for r/bikewrench
