2020 Specialized Epic Comp Carbon EVO Mountain Bike - Satin Carbon/Oak

Specialized took their ultralight and efficient carbon-fibre Epic chassis and then added a mix of components that increases your fun factor without also making your checking account weep. The end result is this bike right here. The Epic Comp Carbon EVO is proof that sometimes you actually can have it all.

A MORE EPIC KIND OF EPIC

Dropper posts and slightly longer forks may seem like overkill on an XC bike but not on this bike. Epic EVOs are not only fast off the start line, they're even better suited to masochistically long rides, multi-day stage races, and fast backcountry missions.

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.
• 120mm-travel RockShox Reba RL fork increases the EVO’s downhill capability.
• An X-Fusion Manic dropper seatpost increases control on steep descents.

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.

An extra 20 millimetres goes a long way when it comes to boosting a fork’s ability to suck up bumps. That’s why Specialized have equipped the EVO with a 120mm-travel RockShox Reba RL fork.

The 12-speed SRAM NX Eagle groupset brings the performance of Eagle with all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest, steepest climbs in a simple, single-ring package. No front derailleurs necessary.

An X-Fusion Manic seatpost brings you some much-needed drop for tackling steep descents, but it also features a zero-offset design that keeps your weight over the bottom bracket for the climbs.
