Specialized S-Works Epic

Beschreibung

Hey you, yes, you...you who weigh every part of the bike. Sure, some might call you a bit obsessive, but don't worry, the S-Works Epic speaks exactly the same language. Countless design hours, endless rounds of testing, terabytes of telemetry data - all to make sure not a single ounce of speed was left on the table.

The S-Works Epic has always been defined by an obsessive dedication to speed, combining the efficiency of a hardtail and the power of a full suspension bike to produce impressively fast results. Well, and that is also proven by more than 100 World Cup wins and podiums.

A Smarter Brain

True to form, the latest Epic continues the tradition, using the most efficient BRAIN suspension we have ever made to ensure it is always ready to respond.

The latest BRAIN design, designed hand-in-hand with the new Epic, resets the expectation of efficiency. In which it uses a new, race-tuned pedal platform BRAIN to ensure that every possible watt is translated into forward motion, while momentum slowing uneven surfaces are absorbed better than ever.

Frame-Changer

The S-Works Epic frame has been redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and improved handling, and in the process has been given a 15 per cent stiffer rear end to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedal platform. A special lay-up scheme and the use of our top-quality FACT 12m Carbon provides even more weight savings, while our main weight saving comes in the form of a carbon shock link. Together, this results in a weight saving of 100 grams compared to the previous generation Epic S-Works frame.

The S-Works' Position-Sensitive Brain fork pairs perfectly with the Brain damper for the most balanced suspension on an Epic to date. The S-Works' Position-Sensitive' Brain fork benefits from RockShox's slim but stiff SID SL Ultimate chassis, improving front-end stiffness and handling while saving grams.
