Specialized Epic Evo Comp 29" Mountain Bike 2022

The Specialized Epic Evo Comp 29" Mountain Bike fuses an XC-inspired character with increased suspension travel to elicit a stunningly versatile ride quality across a full scope of trails and tracks. The FACT 11m carbon frame is lightweight and laterally stiff, providing a super-reactive pedalling platform for when the rider throws down the power. This frame integrates advanced kinematics into its rear suspension design and combines this with a plush 110mm travel RockShox/Rx XC Tune damping unit to heighten the rear wheel’s traction over heavily rutted and loose surfaces. Partnering with the frame, the RockShox SID Select fork uses its plush 120mm suspension to improve line accuracy and composure across even the most technical forest tracks.

A fast handling XC-themed geometry can be micro-tuned via the flip chips integrated into the frame’s rear, subtly altering the handling in line with differing trail demands. Thanks to the refined geometry, the rider is perfectly poised over the pedals and can drive efficiently through the smooth shifting and wide-ranging SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed gear configuration. This drivetrain turns the strong, light and robust alloy wheels, while 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes grant controlled power, whatever the trail conditions. The spec sheet is completed by an X-Fusion seat post that drops the saddle out of the way when the going is fast and technical.

Highlights

• An XC machine with extra travel to enable it to conquer any trail or track with blinding speed
• A FACT 11m carbon frame delivers an incredibly low weight and stunning pedalling responsiveness
