It's time to make every ride more and more Epic with a bike designed to battle XC terrain with hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability. When you're facing the XC terrain ahead, whether for fun or to win, you need leading performance. If you're someone who scrutinises every detail, and tries to minimise weight on your bike, the S-Works Epic LTD Mountain Bike shares your language perfectly. It's a symphony of design precision, tireless testing, and data crunching, all to ensure every ounce of speed gets its due.
The S-Works Epic LTD is the sweet spot where hardtail efficiency meets full-suspension prowess, delivering lightning-fast results. It's not just talk either, boasting a trophy case filled with over 100 World Cup victories and podium finishes.
A SHARPER MIND
The latest iteration of the Epic stays true to its legacy, capitalising on Specialized's most efficient BRAIN suspension system yet, ensuring it's always on a first-name basis with speed.
In tandem with the new Epic, the redesigned BRAIN suspension sets a new benchmark for efficiency. It's like a finely tuned athlete, maximising every pedal stroke for forward momentum while effortlessly smoothing out rough terrain and big impacts.
FRAME REVAMP
The S-Works Epic LTD frame undergoes a makeover for enhanced power transfer and superior handling. With a 15% stiffer rear triangle, it fully exploits the potential of the BRAIN's race-tuned pedaling platform. Crafted from a top-tier FACT 12m Carbon, and incorporating a carbon fibre shock link, it sheds over 100g from its predecessor.
Teaming up seamlessly with the Brain rear shock, the S-Works' Position-Sensitive Brain fork benefits from RockShox's SID SL Ultimate chassis, enhancing stiffness and precision steering without bulking up.
For top-tier performance, SRAM's flagship XX Eagle AXS group delivers electronic precision, while Roval's Control SL rim adds its own blend of speed and durability, perfectly complementing the Epic's capabilities.
If speed had a voice, it would echo the S-Works Epic frame's sentiments. With 100mm of Brain-controlled travel, it combines stiffness for power transfer with FACT 12m carbon, making it Specialized's lightest full-suspension frame to date.
Pairing 100mm of the most efficient travel with RockShox's SID SL Ultimate chassis, the RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN fork sets the standard for XC-race suspension.
SRAM's XX Eagle AXS isn't just feather-light; it's built to handle the rigours of World Cup racing, delivering lightning-fast shifts to keep you ahead of the pack.
Crafted to match the Epic's prowess, the Roval Control SL rim introduces a new offset profile, boosting strength and slashing weight while improving resistance to pinch flats by 22%.
