Description
The Specialized Epic Expert Carbon Mountain Bike has that familiar Epic DNA - the snappy handling, the lightweight chassis and the top drawer components - but with a slightly more aggressive finish that includes a dropper post and a longer fork. The result? It delivers extra comfort for longer rides and races, making it a perfect option for multi-day events, big all-day adventures and fastpacking through backcountry.
At the back, the custom RockShox features Specialized's iconic Brain technology that reads the trail and adjusts suspension according to the nature of the terrain. When it's flat the Brain keeps things firm and agile for maximum power transfer and when things start getting rough the suspension kicks in, smoothing out the surface and absorbing hits from ruts and rocks. When the trail drops away bring the dropper post into play to maximise freedom of movement and improve handling.
A SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain with 12-speed cassette and 1X 32T alloy chainring delivers crisp shifting and has plenty of range whatever direction the trail points. The bike rolls on stiff, lightweight 29" Roval carbon hoops that eat up the ground and carry speed into punchy climbs so you always have momentum and the 120mm FOX step Cast 34 fork brings extra control and comfort.
