Specialized S-Works Epic Hardtail Mountain Bike 2022
Super lightweight and boasting incredible efficiency, the Specialized S-Works Epic Hardtail Mountain Bike promotes a lightning-fast ride across all manner of XC courses. The FACT 12m carbon frame weighs in at an incredible 800 grams (size 56), making it the lightest production option currently available. Not just light, the frame also has excellent lateral stiffness to ensure an explosively reactive ride when the power is being furiously laid down. Additionally, the intricate carbon layup at the frame's rear maximises compliance, markedly lowering rider fatigue over the roughest terrain.
Increased frame-to-tyre clearance allows bigger, plusher tyres to be used, while the RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork smooths the hits, improving line accuracy across the fastest and most technical singletrack. The fork integrates Brain inertia technology that intuitively and automatically firms or softens its 100mm of travel in line with the severity of the trails, guaranteeing efficiency on climbs but plushness when the pace is high across rocks and roots.
An out and out XC-inspired geometry places the rider in a powerful and balanced position, enabling them to drive effectively through the slick and reliable SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless electronic 12-speed drivetrain. In addition, the drivetrain integrates a power meter into its chainset, enabling accurate training sessions and detailed post-race analysis.
Roval Control SL wheels are light and stiff, granting rapid acceleration and nimble direction changes, and SRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes stop accurately and powerfully, inspiring confidence whatever the weather and trail conditions.
