Sumarize

The S-Works Epic LTD from Specialized is all about speed and technical perfection. This model is aimed at those who are looking for the ultimate racing experience and for whom every gram counts. Specialized has put a lot of time and effort into the development of this bike, with the aim of not compromising on speed. With a frame made from S-Works FACT 12m carbon and a progressive XC race geometry tailored to the rider's needs, it offers the ideal combination of lightness, stiffness and speed. The 100mm travel at the rear and the 110mm travel on the RockShox SID SL ULTIMATE BRAIN suspension fork ensure balanced damping on technical trails and at high speeds. At the heart of the S-Works Epic LTD is the innovative BRAIN system from RockShox-Specialized, which automatically adjusts the suspension depending on whether you're on rough ground or a smooth trail. This function enables optimum power transmission and keeps the bike on the optimum line at all times. The equipment is rounded off with a top component group, including the SRAM Level Ultimate Stealth hydraulic disc brakes for precise braking and the wireless SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS rear derailleur for lightning-fast gear changes. The Roval Control SL carbon wheels with their special offset construction and tubeless readiness offer an exceptional combination of stability and lightness for maximum acceleration and precise handling. In short, the S-Works Epic LTD is an unrivaled race bike designed to push boundaries and break speed records. It is aimed at riders who are as obsessed with perfection and performance as the designers who created it.

With the appearance and stiffness of a hardtail, can Specialized's new S-Works Epic WC square the circle between reduced weight and increased control?

Pros
  1. • Seriously stiff frame with aggressive front end geometry
  2. • Ultralight component package
  3. • Data power crank as standard
  4. • Supple, set and forget rear suspension.
  5. • Impressively controlled 110mm SID fork
Cons
  1. • Noticeable suspension movement under power
  2. • Jumpy traction in stiffer modes
  3. • No remote suspension control
  4. • Non proportional geometry
  5. • Epic Evo frame is lighter
