Product Details
With a XC World Championship to its name and complete bike weights as low as 21.5 pounds, the Epic® is the lightest, most efficient and fastest performance cross-country bike available. An integrated approach to the design of all its critical components, along with an enhanced AFR inertia rear shock and Specialized/FOX Shox Mini Brain® damper, will no doubt make a full suspension convert out of any competition- hungry rider.
DT Swiss X420SL 24mm-wide rims are sleeved and eyeletted for a sturdy and lightweight package that makes the climb out effortless
Shimano XT 2-piece crankset promises legendary performance with a heralded strength-to-weight ratio for ample cross-country power
M5 alloy frame redefines the Competitive XC category with 100mm of supple FSR suspension, delivering small bump performance and smooth terrain efficiency
Avid Elixir R Carbon SL brakes/levers with tool-free reach adjust, alloy backed semi-metallic pads and carbon blades offer power-packed performance for speedy runs
S-Works The Captain 26 x 2.0" 2Bliss front tire works in concert with the S-Works Fast Trak LK rear tire to deliver exceptional traction, while minimizing rotating weight
Battle-tested RockShox SID Race 100mm air-sprung fork with rebound, compression, lockout adjust and FloodGate control dials in the perfect pedaling platform while retaining light weight
Specialized and Fox blend their brains to develop the new FlowControl Mini Brain shock with Brain Fade inertia valve, air spring and adjustable rebound, with travel optimized for the 29" frame
9mm thru-axle front hub with hi/lo flanges and DT Swiss Competition spokes comes with 24/28mm end caps for increased tracking strength and multi-fork compatibility, with a quality DT Swiss alloy freehub in the rear
