SPECIALIZED EPIC WC EXPERT BIKE
THINK FASTER: The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC racing bike on smooth courses, thanks to an unparalleled combination of efficiency, control and lightness. Champion Christopher puts it this way: “This bike gives me everything I could ever want from a hardtail, with the added control and capability of a full-suspension.” To create this racing machine, we adopted a fully integrated development approach, inventing an entirely new shock, drawing on four decades of victories on the off-road racing stage.
BENCHMARK FRAME: To achieve maximum speed through perfect pedaling efficiency and ultra-precise handling, our team of engineers has set the new standard in terms of torsional stiffness and bottom bracket stiffness. The double-diamond layout is the most sophisticated in the history of Specialized, and supports the stiffness goal by integrating the shock as a structural element.
FAST SUSPENSION: The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a revolutionary technology for the Epic World Cup to give it the efficiency and responsiveness of a hardtail, plus the control and capability of a full-suspension. The RockShox SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock, with independently adjustable positive and negative air springs, gives the Epic WC the coveted “snap” of hardtails, combined with a terrain-devouring lightness and the ability to tune the setup based on a specific course or personal preferences.
BEYOND ITS CATEGORY: The 75 mm of travel of the Epic World Cup behaves as if it were much more. When the bike is ridden in firm mode, it offers the same usable travel as a 100 mm travel bike set with 25% sag. The optimization of air volumes and damping characteristics allows the Epic WC to handle impacts like a bike with more generous travel. The dedicated MegaJounce bumper provides robust end-stroke support to handle the hardest hits.
BRAIN: While the revolutionary SID Deluxe WCID shock provides the perfect mix of absorption and firmness at the rear triangle, in the fork the BRAIN is alive and well, with Position-Sensitive technology and 15mm of sag, without the need for lockout or levers to operate.
LIGHTWEIGHT: With a frame weighing only 1765 grams (painted, with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup is the lightest on the market. This lightness translates into explosive accelerations, climbs with maximum efficiency, and surprising handling. The sum of these features is speed. We were able to design a frame that is so light and at the same time stiff thanks to what we learned from designing the Aethos, particularly with regard to the carbon layup.
SEATPOST: The Epic World Cup comes with the new Roval Control SL seatpost, ultra-light and stiff.
- The new Epic World Cup with Ride Dynamics Developed Suspension Technology has 75mm of travel at the rear wheel. Thanks to the new technology, pedaling is very efficient and this Epic is ready for the most demanding descents.
- The SRAM GX drivetrain has the robustness and shifting performance sought after by every racer. Ideal for tackling off-road races.
- The new SID SL BRAIN fork with 110 mm of travel absorbs every impact and distinguishes inputs coming from the terrain and from the rider for maximum efficiency.
- Roval Control carbon wheels with hookless design and 29mm internal width. They are strong, lightweight and offer perfect ride quality.
