Specialized S-Works Epic - 2018, S3/Medium
The Specialized S-Works Epic is a purebred cross-country racing machine, engineered to be the fastest and most efficient full-suspension bike on the XC circuit. Built on an ultralight S-Works carbon frame, this size Medium (S3) rig weighs an incredible 21.5 lbs, rivaling many high-end hardtails. It features the legendary Specialized Brain technology in both the RockShox SID fork and rear shock, which automatically distinguishes between rider input and trail bumps for a firm, efficient ride on climbs and active suspension on descents. Equipped with a flagship SRAM XX1 Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, a built-in Quarq power meter, and elite Roval Control SL carbon wheels, this $10,499 MSRP superbike is professionally tuned and 100% ready to chase podiums.
Why We Love It
Ā * The "Brain" Advantage: Specializedās unique Brain suspension system eliminates the need for manual lockout levers; the bike stays rigid for maximum pedaling efficiency on smooth sections and instantly opens up the moment it hits a root or rock.
Ā * Ultralight Racing Build: At just 21.5 lbs, this is one of the lightest full-suspension bikes ever produced, providing a massive advantage on steep, technical climbs and during explosive out-of-the-saddle sprints.
Ā * Pro-Tier Power Tracking: The integrated Quarq power meter on the SRAM XX1 carbon cranks allows for laboratory-grade training and pacing data, essential for competitive XC racing and marathon efforts.
Ā * Elite Roval Control SL Wheels: The Roval Control SL wheelset is world-renowned for its incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio, featuring a wide internal rim width that enhances tire profile and traction in technical corners.
