The Epic World Cup Expert – where speed meets FUN, and winning is in its DNA! Get ready to embrace the ultimate XC race experience on this lightning-fast beast that leaves competitors in the dust.
THINK FASTEST: The Epic World Cup takes the crown as the swiftest XC race bike worldwide, conquering both smooth tracks and moderately technical courses with ease. How does it do it? A magical blend of efficiency, control, and a feather-light build. Even World Champ Christopher Blevins raves about it, claiming “it’s like having the best of a hardtail combined with the control of full suspension.”
FRAME OF REFERENCE: This bike isn’t just about speed; it’s engineered for precision handling and power transfer efficiency. With groundbreaking standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness, the engineering team concocted a brilliant double diamond layout and nestled the shock inside the top-tube. The result? Unparalleled performance and a sophisticated composite layup that’s Specialized’s finest to date.
SHOCKINGLY FAST: Prepare for the ride of your life with the revolutionary SID Deluxe WCID shock. It’s like having a magic wand – you get the snappiness of a hardtail, the forgiveness of full suspension, and the power to customize your setup for any course or riding style. From a firm and snappy hardtail feel to a plush and bump-devouring setup, it’s all at your fingertips.
Don’t be fooled by the 75mm rear travel – it performs like a much longer travel bike, giving you control and capability that defies its size. The Specialized Ride Dynamics team’s ingenious tuning ensures a flat spring-rate through the mid-stroke, handling bumps like a pro. And let’s not forget the Mega Jounce Bumper – an “industry first” that handles those big impacts like a boss.
Specialized likes to keep things interesting, which is why they brought back the BRAIN in the fork. With Position-Sensitive technology, you get the best of both worlds – sag into the fork for supple small bump compliance, and a firm platform for powerful pedaling, no levers or remotes needed.
THE WEIGHT IS OVER: We’ve shed all unnecessary weight, giving the Epic World Cup a frame weight of just 1,915 grams – lighter than most of its competitors. Prepare to feel the thrill of rapid acceleration, climbing like a mountain goat, and handling with unmatched agility. We’ve taken inspiration from our Aethos, the lightest road frame ever made, to create this featherweight beast.
So, are you ready to take on the world with the Epic World Cup Expert Full Suspension 29″ Mountain Bike? It’s speed, control, and pure fun, all rolled into one incredible ride. Get ready to conquer the trails and leave your rivals in awe!
