FAST STARTS HERE

With more World Championship titles and Olympic medals than anyone can count, the Epic is truly the fastest cross-country bike on the planet. Quick and flat, rowdy and technical, punchy and hard. No matter the course, the ultralight and efficient Epic brings home the win.

HARDTAIL EFFICIENT. FULL-SUSPENSION CONTROL

Suspension should always make you faster, not slow you down with energy-sucking suspension bob. Specialized's ingenious Brain-equipped shocks keep the Epic firm when the trail is smooth, then automatically turns your bike plush the moment your tyres meet rocks and roots.

• Race-proven, carbon chassis and ingenious Brain suspension - nothing’s faster.
• Lightweight, Brain-equipped RockShox SID fork - firm during sprints, plush over the hits.
• SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest climbs.

The full fact 11m carbon-fibre frame combines stiffness, strength, and light overall weight to deliver a peerless race bike at any price. The new geometry, RockShox Brain shock, and 100mm of travel, make the Epic the best handling, fastest XC rig you've been on.

The latest generation Brain shock (Brain 2.0) has been mounted closer to the axle, making it responsive to the smallest of bumps. Specialized also reduced oil turbulence for consistent suspension performance, no matter how big and fast the hits come. They also ditched the Brain’s original floating piston for a bladder system that yields even smoother action. The world’s smartest suspension just got even smarter.

This Epic’s custom Brain-equipped RockShox SID fork is decidedly smart, firm during sprints, plush over the hits with no lockout levers required.

The 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest, steepest climbs in a simple, precise and durable package. Goodbye, front derailleurs.

Hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 25mm internal width hookless rim, ensuring optimal traction and rolling resistance properties.
