Specialized Epic World Cup Expert Mountain Bike
The Epic World Cup stands as the pinnacle of XC race bikes, offering unparalleled speed and control on smooth to moderately technical terrain. Champion Christopher Blevins attests to its prowess, combining the agility of a hardtail with the control and capability of full suspension. Engineered for maximum efficiency, its frame sets new standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness, enhanced by a revolutionary shock technology developed in collaboration with RockShox. With 75mm of rear travel, it punches above its category, handling bumps like a longer travel bike. The innovative SID Deluxe WCID shock and Position-Sensitive fork technology ensure a balanced ride without compromising pedal efficiency. Weighing just 1,915 grams, it accelerates faster and climbs more efficiently, thanks to insights from the Aethos road frame development. From its Ride Dynamics Developed suspension to the SRAM GX transmission and hand-built Roval Control carbon wheels, every component is meticulously crafted for the demands of modern Cross Country racing.
