Specialized Epic Evo Expert 29" Mountain Bike 2022

Specialized Epic Evo Expert 29" Mountain Bike 2022

Thanks to its XC-racing genes and increased front and rear suspension travel, the Specialized Epic Evo Expert 29" Mountain Bike donates an exceptional ride, whether charging up steep trails or flying down sinuous rock-strewn descents.

Low weight and an abundance of lateral stiffness ensure the FACT 11m carbon frame is nimble and reactive when the rider applies the power, while its advanced rear suspension kinematics combine with the 110mm travel RockShox SID LUXE Select+, Rx XC Tune rear damping unit to heighten rear wheel traction and stability over the roughest terrain. Complementing the frame, the RockShox SID Select+ fork provides 120mm of plush suspension, allowing increased composure and control on fast, winding and rutted courses.

XC inspired geometry ensures quick handling and efficient pedalling, but this can be fine-tuned in line with personal preferences or the demands of the trails by the flip chips integrated into the rear of the frame. Nimble, strong and durable Roval Control SL 29” carbon wheels are propelled by crisp-shifting and wide-ranging SRAM X01 12-speed gears, and 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes stop with confidence-inspiring power in all conditions. An X-Fusion seatpost completes the build, dropping the saddle out of the way on technical, rough descents.
