2021 Specialized Epic Evo Expert Mountain Bike - Gloss Redwood/Smoke

Wheels up or head down, the Epic EVO Expert's blend of inspired handling, capable geometry and laser-focused pedaling efficiency makes sure you never have to choose between fast and fun.

While the Epic EVO sees a seemingly modest 20mm increase in suspension travel up front over its Epic counterpart and just 10mm out back, Specialized have worked overtime to make sure it's been implemented in a way that'll have you saying 'Whoa!' as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack.

Meticulously engineered to retain as much of the Epic's standard-setting efficiency as possible, the EVO's new suspension kinematics work in sync with Rx XC Tune customised suspension front and rear to ensure you're able to make the most out of every inch of travel on tap, while still offering increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedaling efficiency.

With plenty of practice at staying ahead of the curve, the Epic EVO now lays claim to the most capable iteration of Specialized's Progressive XC Geometry ever to grace an Epic. It's also more versatile than ever thanks to a new flip chip-equipped rear end that allows riders to adjust headtube angle and bottom bracket height to easily customise Epic EVO's handling characteristics.

SRAM's high-flying X01 Eagle group handles shifting duties, while RockShox's SID Select+ is firmly in charge of takeoffs and landings with it's capable Charger 2 RL damper.

• Flip It To Rip It: Tune the ride of the Epic EVO’s FACT 11m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with flip-chip simplicity that allows riders to steepen the EVO’s headtube angle by half a degree while raising the bottom bracket height by 6mm.
• Suspension up front comes courtesy of RockShox's SID Select+ 120mm fork, featuring their Charger 2 RL Damper with two-postion compression adjustment for impressive pedaling efficiency while the DebonAir spring offers easy tuning and consistent feel throughout the entire range of travel.
• X-Fusion's Manic dropper post offers infinitely adjustable travel via it's slick shifter-stye remote lever for hassle-free operation when things get dicey.
• Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 25mm internal-width hookless rim, and maximise strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.

The Epic Evo is the result of Specialized's decades-long obsession with speed. The fastest XC bike in the world, the freshly redesigned Epic delivers an unmatched combination of pedalling efficiency, light weight and control.

Rip backcountry miles and rail endless singletrack with ruthless efficency thanks to the Epic Evo's purebred Epic speed, tuned suspension, increased travel and trail-tweaked geo. The Epic Evo with a longer, lower and slacker geometry, takes things a step further with a 66.5 degree head angle and flip-chip adjustability to further dial in the ride. Furthermore, a metric shock out back gets the custom Rx-tune treatment on every model for a completely balanced suspension on all-day singletrack missions.
