When nothing but the best will do, the S-Works Epic is the answer. The S-Works Epic is Specialized's top of the range mountain bike for a reason; from numerous dedicated design hours, countless tests and terabytes of telemetry data ensuring that not a single pinch of speed is compromised creates an overall performance that simply can not be matched. With a re-designed frame that focuses on optimising your power transfer comes the S-Works FACT 12m Carbon with modern XC racing geometry, Rider-First Engineered™ technology, and 100mm of travel. This new frame design allows the S-Works Epic to now be 15% stiffer in the rear triangle to provide improved handling and a more efficient power output. By using Speiclaized's highest quality FACT 12m Carbon, the frame on the all-new S-Works Epic is now 100 grams lighter than it's previous model whilst ensuring there's no compromise with the rigidity and stiffness of the frame. Pair this frame with the highest performing BRAIN suspension there is and you've got unbeatable speed. The new BRAIN suspension built into the S-Works Epic has been re-engineered taking what you call efficient to a whole new level by featuring a newly race-tuned pedalling platform so that no single watt you push is ever wasted along with absorbing the big bumps and speed killers with ease for the smoothest ride you've ever had. To maintain this highest possible level of performance, the S-Works Epic has been equipped with SRAM's flagship XX1 Eagle AXS groupset, the lightest in existance, along with Rovals newly designed Control SL rim to take your speed to new limits. The new offset of the rim uses a 29mm wide internal width to boost strength whilst also reducing the overall weight as well as providing more resilience against pinch-flats by 22%.
TECHNOLOGIES
A Smarter BRAIN
True to form, the latest Epic continues the tradition, taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension Specialized have ever created to ensure it's always on a first-name-basis with fast. Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency, employing a new race-tuned pedalling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion, while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike—all more smoothly than ever.
Frame-Changer
Redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance, the S-Works Epic frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedalling platform. A dedicated layup schedule and the use of Specialized's top-shelf FACT 12m Carbon takes weight savings yet a step further than it's stablemates, while the pièce de résistance comes in the form of a carbon fibre shock link, combining to shave a total of over 100 grams from the previous generation S-works frame—no easy task, mind you.
Only The Best Will Do
SRAM's flagship XX1 Eagle AXS group certainly fits the bill when only the best will do, dispatching shifts with electronic authority while Specialized tasked Roval with creating an entirely new Control SL rim that wouldn't just be able to go toe-to-toe with the Epic's newfound speed and handling performance, but add a bit of its own into the mix as well. Created specifically to match the increased capabilities of the Epic, the Roval Control SL rim introduces a completely new offset rim profile that features a 29-millimeter-wide internal width and not only increases strength and reduces weight, but also improves pinch-flat resistance by 22-percent.
