Nothing beats your first experience with true speed, the kind that leaves you grinning from ear to ear. Fortunately, the Specialized Epic Comp Mountain Bike is here to keep that smile going from your first ride to the finish line.
Blending the efficiency of a hardtail with the capability of full suspension, the Epic has always been about an unwavering commitment to speed. With over 100 World Cup wins and podiums, it has proven itself time and again. The latest Epic continues this legacy, equipped with the most efficient BRAIN suspension system Specialized have ever developed, ensuring a seamless connection with speed.
This newly re-engineered BRAIN, designed in tandem with the new Epic, redefines efficiency. Its race-tuned pedaling platform ensures every watt of power is converted into forward motion, effortlessly absorbing both small vibrations and major impacts more smoothly than ever before.
The all-new FACT 11m carbon frame of the Epic is redesigned for optimal power transfer and enhanced handling. With a 15% stiffer rear triangle, it fully capitalises on the BRAIN's race-tuned pedaling platform. The revised carbon layup in the front triangle further reduces weight, boosting the Epic’s already impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio.
Featuring 100mm of highly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel, the Epic's FACT 11m carbon frame not only enhances rear-triangle stiffness for unmatched power transfer but also delivers the best handling performance in any Epic to date, all while shedding weight compared to its predecessor.
The RockShox Reba RL, benefiting from World Cup-level SID development, offers a race-proven Motion Control damper with external adjustments for low-speed compression, lockout, and rebound. Meanwhile, SRAM's Level TL brakes provide smooth modulation for precise speed control. Specialized Alloy tubeless-ready rims with a modern 25mm internal width ensure tyres achieve their ideal profile for maximum traction.
