What do you get when you open up the taps on trickle-down technology? That'd be the Epic Pro. A waterfall of performance coming straight down from Mount S-Works, the Epic Pro benefits from the most efficient suspension design we've ever created, not to mention a frame that's as light as the previous-generation S-Works while offering the same incredibly efficient power transfer of the current cream of the World Cup crop.

A Smarter BRAIN

Mixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results, Epic has always been defined by an uncompromised commitment to speed. Well, that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too.

True to form, the latest Epic continues the tradition, taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension we've ever created to ensure it's always on a first-name-basis with fast.

Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency, employing a new race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion, while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike—all more smoothly than ever.

Frame-Changer

Redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance, the Epic's all-new FACT 11m carbon frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedaling platform, while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight, sending the Epic's already sky-high stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher.

The Epic Pro's Top-Adjust Position-Sensitive BRAIN fork allows for easy tuning on the fly, making suspension adjustments on course pre-rides a stress-free affair, while SRAM's XO1 Eagle AXS electronic group takes notes from BRAIN's telepathic performance, firing off shifts with lightning-fast precision.

  • Offering 100-millimeters of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel, the Epic’s FACT 11m carbon frame increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer and introduces the most capable handling in an Epic yet, all while shedding weight over the previous-generation Epic.

  • The RockShox SID SL BRAIN fork serves up 100-millimeters of brilliantly controlled BRAIN travel while bringing damper adjustments top-side for quick, on-the-fly tweaks.

  • SRAM's Level TLM brakes feature a one-piece monoblock caliper design that not only excels at shedding speed, but weight too.

  • The SRAM XO1 Eagle AXS 12-speed rear derailleur not only offers some of the crispest shift around, it also manages to serve up a maximum 500-percent gear range while using a 10-percent shorter cage design to increase ground clearance over its mechanical counterpart.

  • Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 25-millimeter internal-width hookless rim, and maximize strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.

This bike goes to 11

I thought the previous gen Epic was good this new one has gone (at least) one better. Handles better downhill. Brain platform is better. Get one if you can.

BEST SHORT TRAVEL BIKE EVER !!

So I am coming off the last two Epics they have made. This is by far the BEST of all three.. This bike feels very balanced ,descends amazing and feels like way more travel then it is. I added a dropper post which is awesome and a must on this unit. I ride mostly in Park City Utah and have PRd all of my rides in the first few rides. Nice JOB with this one !!

Best Epic yet!

Coming off of a 2017 Epic Sworks, I was a little nervous shifting to the Pro level Epic. It was the best thing I could've done! What a difference! How did they build a bike that is stiffer, yet more compliant; slacker angles, yet corners better on tight switchbacks-both up or going down!? And speaking of slacker angles, this bike is way more stable on the downhills with almost trail bike manners. The funny thing is, at first I though I was going slower, but then I would go back and upload my ride to find out that I was setting PRs on my local trails. I've had zero issues with the brain and I am confident that it is more durable then the previous generation. My 2017 model would need service every year or so and I expect this to be at least that reliable. On a side note, this bikes demands a dropper post, what a difference it makes in the ride experience. The Sram AXS is amazing and the brakes are ok. I went through brake pads in 350 miles (my typical ride is about 15-20 miles with 2500 to 3200 feet of vert). My old XTR pads would last at least 2-3 times longer on my old bike. I have sense switched from the resin pads to metal/sintered and hope they are more durable. Thanks Specialized for really building a better Epic...it's not just hype.

Review Update

After a week trying to contact the customer service the only response I got from Specialized was ""to contact my retailer for my new bike issue with the brain problem, and enjoy my ride"" that's why a gave them only 4 Stars. See my past review to follow the story. By the other hand my bike shop move earth and heaven to resolve the problem with the rear suspension on my new Epic Pro, they order a complete new brain and shock, they pick my bike at my home at no cost replace the suspension with a new one set up the suspension for my weight and delivered right at my home the same day, I'll gave them 10 Stars. The bike ride awesome and is super fast I broke all my records on my local trail just on my very first ride after the new brain was installed. Now I'm very happy with the bike, THANKS ""SUGAR CYCLE"" YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
