You’ve seen the look. The, are-they-really-about-to-ride-that-on-a-hardtail look. Well, get ready to get it a lot more aboard the Epic Hardtail. Fast and light meets confident and capable in a bike that’s been bred to redefine what’s possible on a cross-country speed demon.

Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race, but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasn’t been without its casualties, with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh, twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility.

But who said fatigue from fighting against your own bike makes you any faster? Instead, recognizing that the fastest bike is more than simply the lightest bike, we said out with the jarred-to-death tail, the measure-your-posterior’s-sorrows-by-the-yard tail and in with the avant-garde tail. The ridiculously capable, mystifyingly comfortable, head-shakingly light and all-around fast, Epic Hardtail.

Sure, we optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the lightest production hardtail frame in the world anyway, but we also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail that’s as capable as it is comfortable with aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, increased tire clearance and a frame obsessively engineered for increased vertical compliance, all while creating a bike that lives and breathes the fundamentals of fast.

A RockShox Judy Gold fork and SRAM drivetrain highlight the build, effortlessly balancing both value and performance to impressive results.

  • Ridiculously capable, incredibly light, and refreshingly comfortable, the Epic Hardtail’s dropper-post friendly FACT 11m carbon frame rewrites the hardtail playbook with game-changing success.

  • Don't judge this Judy without being prepared to come away impressed. RockShox's capable Motion Control Damper and Solo Air spring combine for composed, predictable travel and effortless setup and adjustment.

  • SRAM's Level T hydraulic disc brakes pack a punch, offering serious bite and backing it up with a refined, intuitive feel to make for a package that squeezes heavyweight performance out of a scale-friendly setup.

EPICAMENTE PROFESIONAL

Pasar de Aluminio a Fibra de Carbono es Formula 1, ahora suspension, peso, frenos y velocidad la hacen sin igual una Bici de alto rendimiento y profesional, Yo soy deportista de alto rendimiento y llevo varios años en este tema de la Bici por tal motivo diria que es una bici para deportistas exigentes y muy Pro...me quedo corto con los otros atributos pues hasta tienen excelente venta posteventa!!

프레임 하나보고 구입했습니다.

xtc 어드밴스, 프로칼리버랑 고민했는데 에픽 프레임이 예전 스웍 11m 카본인 점과 하급 샥이라도 제대로 락샥 넣어주는 점 보고 요놈으로 결정했습니다.(빅나인은 디자인이 구려서 고민하지도 않음.) 검은색 모델로 샀는데 후회 1도 없네요. 하드테일이라 다운힐은 털리지만 프레임이 짱짱해서 업힐 진심 개빠릅니다..ㅎㅎ

Apesar de ser uma bicicleta de entrada, não deixa nada a desejar. Essa é minha segunda epic, a outra era mais equipada, e fiquei com medo de querer mexer demais nessa, mas não vou mexer em nada. Está ótimo e perfeita. Leve, funciona perfeitamente nas trilha, estradão e até asfalto.

Tiptop Tarmac

Ein exzellentes Racebike für den sehr guten 2023er Tarif. Ergänzt mit einer hydraulischen Stütze und den obligatorischen Racing Ralph und Racing Ron ein perfektes Setup. Die Bremsen lassen etwas den definierten Druckpunkt vermissen und die Schaltung möchte gern regelmäßig nachgestellt werden - aber das ist bei den in diesem Preissegment zur Verfügung stehenden Komponenten kein Wunder. Im Zweifel kann man hier aufrüsten - wichtig nur, dass man den hervorragenden Carbonrahmen und die Laufräder hat. Alles andere lässt sich tauschen. Wenn man will. Muss aber nicht. Ich habe noch ein paar andere Specialized, gern auch hochwertiger. Aber auch hier wird gehalten, was der Name verspricht. By the Way: der Händler meines Vertrauens sitzt in Gütersloh - der ist ne Benchmark.

Absolute joy!

This thing climbs like a GOAT. I slapped a GX rear derailleur on it and a new/used SID Select + on it right out of the box. That dropped it down to 24.6 lbs and I haven't looked back since. Amazingly fun to ride. I don't race anymore, but still enjoy/demand a bike that performs on my hike-a-bike trips. Worth every 'penny' IMO. When I am done riding the trail,,,,,I'll slap some slicks on it and have an urban terror machine. I really hope SPECIALIZED doesn't drop the Hardtail.

Great Frame!

I'm a big fan of the frame and how the bike handles. Bought it around April this year and have rode all summer. Its stiff and responsive and handles surprisingly well over super rough terrain. The bike climbs well and feels great on flowy trails. I have made quite a few upgrades but out of the box the bike is also solid.

Racing.

Bike rígida. Transfere imediatamente a pedalada. Gostei da geometria, é agressiva e com compromisso racing, apesar do conforto. Não usei em trilhas, mas em estradão de terra e asfalto, mas pelo que senti ela deve ser foguete num circuito mais técnico. Senti também uma ótima retomada em acelerações. Gostei do acerto do conjunto e da tocada geral. Colocaria rodas de carbono para ela ficar mais rápida ainda.

Epic ht

Llevo dos semanas probando la bicicleta. Puntos positivos - muy ágil subiendo - en el plano muy bien ( volaría con plato de 34) - acabado y color (tengo la negra y es asombrosa) Puntos negativos - los frenos sram con los que viene de serie son muy deficientes, si eres de los que le gusta bajar, su actualización debería ser el primero de los upgrades para mejorarla. - nerviosa en los descensos, la bici te exige control y muy buena técnica - falta el bloqueo del cuadro para que el manillar no golpee el cuadro Por el precio que ofrecía Specialized es la mejor inversión costó beneficio. Te da un excelente cuadro para que le coloques lo mejor .

Un upgrade necesario

Soy ciclista de bajo rendimiento, pero empeñoso, por lo que necesitaba subir de nivel en cuanto a la nave que me acompaña en mis idas al cerro y encontré la compañera perfecta. Partamos por el peso, me la puedo echar al hombro cuando la elevación se pone complicada. Qué decir del diseño del marco, hermoso. Sus componentes son de calidad y si alguien alega por la suspensión, pues que invierta en una más cara, porque ésta es ideal para el deportista de bajo rendimiento como yo.

Un cambio Epic

Soy un amateur del XC, subo y bajo cerros (a bajo nivel) desde hace poco, partí con una bicicleta standard, luego cambié a una "intermedia" de otra marca y hoy pegué el salto con esta bicicleta y no me arrepiento de nada. Ha sido la mejor inversión desde que me puse frenillos. Destaca su diseño, componentes, pero por sobre todo: su peso. En las subidas que, generalmente para mi, eran de la muerte, ahora las enfrento con un "vamos que se puede". Con respecto al proceso de venta online, en mi caso funcionó perfecto. Pagué por el armado y la bici llegó impecable, la entrega fue hecha por el profesional que la ensambló y me ayudó a conocer a mi nueva mejor amiga. Excelente servicio.

Más bonita que en las fotos. Rendimiento extraordinario

La Epic es una bicicleta increíble. Su geometría es muy cómoda, el color Gloss Lagoon es muy bonito y especial y se siente muy robusta. Las llantas de 2.35 dan mucha seguridad. Los componentes dan un excelente rendimiento, desde la suspensión, los frenos y la transmisión, todo es muy preciso y suave.
