Specialized S-Works Epic

The 75mm travel is specifically engineered for XC racing efficiency. It provides the snappy, direct power transfer of a hardtail while offering just enough active suspension to maintain traction and control on technical terrain, rather than the plush, deep travel feel of a trail bike.

The Revolutionary WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock is designed to eliminate the 'bob' associated with pedaling. It allows for a unique setup that provides a firm platform for sprinting and climbing, while still reacting instantly to trail impacts to keep your tires planted.

The Roval Control SL integrated cockpit is a fixed-geometry unit designed for optimal aerodynamics and weight savings. While it offers a precise, race-ready feel, it does not allow for independent stem length or handlebar angle adjustments, so you should ensure the stock dimensions align with your bike fit requirements.

Yes, the Roval Control SL rims are tubeless-ready. The bike ships with a high-performance tire combination—Specialized Renegade and Fast Trak—designed to be set up tubeless for better puncture resistance and lower rolling resistance on the race course.

Yes, the Quarq XX SL power meter uses standard ANT+ and Bluetooth protocols. It will pair seamlessly with almost any modern cycling computer or smartphone app that supports power data.

This bike is purpose-built for XC racing and fast, smooth-to-moderately technical courses. While it is incredibly capable, it lacks the geometry and travel depth of a dedicated trail bike, so it may feel harsh or twitchy on aggressive, rocky, or steep descents.
