Specialized Epic Evo 29" Mountain Bike 2022
As an XC thoroughbred with increased front and rear suspension travel, the Specialized Epic Evo 29" Mountain Bike offers true versatility, increasing speed up steep inclines and down descents alike, no matter the trail severity. A FACT 11m carbon frame is light and responsive, surging forward under power. This frame blends advanced rear suspension kinematics with a plush 110mm travel RockShox Deluxe Select+, Rx XC Tune rear damping unit to guarantee rear wheel traction on the most rugged terrain. The rear suspension is balanced perfectly at the front end by the RockShox Reba RL fork, which actions its 120mm of travel to heighten line accuracy and composure when the going is at its most gnarly.
A progressive, XC-inspired geometry guarantees poise and efficiency over the pedals and can be finely tuned in line with the trail demands by the frame’s flip chips. Robust and light alloy wheels handle rocks and roots with aplomb and accelerate sharply, while the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed gear setup grants a vast range of ratios and shifts with precision every time of asking. Hydraulic disc brakes take care of the stopping duties, affording confidence-inspiring power in all conditions, and a TransX dropper seatpost lowers the saddle on fast and technical trail sections.
