It’s time to make every ride more Epic with a mountain bike designed to battle XC terrain with hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability.
When it comes to racing, the Specialized Epic Mountain Bike delivers an unmatched level of speed, by combining light weight, efficiency aqnd capability where you need it most, keeping you in control of the course even when it turns. Featuring the most efficient suspension platform ever to grace a World Cup start line, the Epic Expert pairs 100mm of Brain-controlled travel front and rear for a package that was born to erase seconds from the clock.
Epic has always been defined by uncompromised commitment to speed. That and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too. The latest Epic continues the tradition, taking advantage of the most efficient Brain suspension Specialized have ever created to ensure it’s always on a first-name-basis with fast.
Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency, employing a new race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion, while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike, all more smoothly than ever.
Redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance, the Epic’s all-new FACT 11m carbon frame features a 15% stiffer rear triangle to take full advantage of the BRAIN’s new race-tuned pedaling platform, while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight, sending the Epic’s already sky-high stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher.
- Offering 100mm of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel, the Epic’s FACT 11m carbon frame increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer and introduces the most capable handling in an Epic yet, all while shedding weight over the previous-generation Epic.
- The RockShox SID SL BRAIN fork serves up 100mm of brilliantly controlled BRAIN travel for effecient performance that pairs perfectly with the Epic’s rear BRAIN system.
- Sprightly stoppers from SRAM, Level TL brakes offer smooth modulation for precise speed control.
- Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29mm internal-width hookless rim, and maximise strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
