With a XC World Championship to its name and complete bike weights as low as 21.5 pounds, the EpicĀ® 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 BrainĀ® damper, will no doubt make a full suspension convert out of any competition- hungry rider.
Features:
- M5 alloy frame redefines the Competitive XC category with 100mm of supple FSR suspension, delivering small bump performance and smooth terrain efficiency
- Specialized and Fox blend their brains to develop the new FlowControl Mini Brain shock with Brain Fade inertia valve, air spring and adjustable rebound for trophy-stockpiling performance
- 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
- Avid Elixir R lightweight hydraulic brakes/levers with tool-free reach adjust and long-lasting metallic pads halt bombing runs with superb control and modulation
