EPIC WC EXPERT EGRN/FSTGRN/PRL L

Specialized Epic World Cup Expert Description:

The Specialized Epic World Cup Expert inspires dominance in competitive-level XC mountain bike scenarios with an unmatched combination of lightweight efficiency and control. Epic World Cup delivers maximum speed through efficient power transfer with an ultimately stiff frame design that sets a landmark level of stiffness through premier carbon fiber design and layup, and an ingeniously crafted integrated suspension design. Specialized's Ride Dynamics team implemented a revolutionary integrated shock design into Epic World Cup frames, providing riders the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail, with the control, capability, and response of a full suspension bike. A custom-tuned SID Deluxe WCID rear shock, designed in collaboration with RockShox utilizes independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to sustain snappiness usually provided by hardtails, while behaving as a full suspension on unforgiving terrain; this rear shock is also easily adjustable so it can be tailored to the needs of the trail and to suit a riders personal preferences. Leaning in the direction of firm provides a feeling similar to a hard tail, while moving to the open side will unlock a world of aggressive descending prowess, ready to take on the most daring of trails.

Specialized combined the efforts of their internal Ride Dynamics team and internal development at RockShox to create the RockShox SID SL Fork with a proprietary BRAIN damper. This advanced fork fights bobbing caused by aggressive pedaling and also has 110mm of bump eating travel that keeps the front wheel planted when the going gets tough. Roval Control carbon wheels excel everywhere from World Cup XC races to your favorite weekend trail and are wrapped with Specialized Fast Trak and Renegade tires, for the perfect blend of all-out speed on hard-packed sections, and grippy support when cornering. A SRAM GX 1 x 12 speed transmission drivetrain implements robust, lasting durability that shifts flawlessly under load and syncs with SRAM's AXS App an ultimate level of connectivity, personalization, and ease of use.
