When speed comes calling the Epic Expert doesn't just answer it yells back 'Catch me if you can!'Featuring the most efficient suspension platform ever to grace a World Cup start line the Epic Expert pairs 100-millimeters of Brain-controlled travel front and rear for a package that was born to erase seconds from the clock. A Smarter BRAIN Mixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results Epic has always been defined by uncompromised commitment to speed. Well that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too. True to form the latest Epic continues the tradition taking advantage of the most efficient Brain suspension Specialized have ever created to ensure it's always on a first-name-basis with fast. Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency employing a new race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion while handily soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike—all more smoothly than ever. Frame-Changer Redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance the Epic's all-new FACT 11m carbon frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedaling platform while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight sending the Epic's already sky-high stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher. Offering 100-millimeters of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel the Epic’s FACT 11m carbon frame increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer and introduces the most capable handling in an Epic yet all while shedding weight over the previous-generation Epic. The RockShox SID SL BRAIN fork serves up 100-millimeters of brilliantly controlled BRAIN travel for effecient performance that pairs perfectly with the Epic's rear BRAIN system. Sprightly stoppers from SRAM Level TL brakes offer smooth modulation for precise speed control. Descending from a long World Cup lineage hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29-millimeter internal-width hookless rim and maximize strength ride quality and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.

You’ve seen the look. The are-they-really-about-to-ride-that-on-a-hardtail look. Well get ready to get it a lot more aboard the Epic Hardtail. Fast and light meets confident and capable in a bike that’s been bred to redefine what’s possible on a cross-country speed demon.Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasn’t been without its casualties with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility. But who said fatigue from fighting against your own bike makes you any faster?

If you’re looking for a frame that’s snappy confident and happiest on trails that make other hardtails cry you’ve come to the right place.The Fuse’s M4 aluminum frame is loaded with smart touches. The wide-diameter down tube boosts stiffness. The low-slung top tube gives you the clearance to throw the bike around on tight trails. Adjustable dropouts let you run the Fuse geared or single-speed. Those same dropouts also let you adjust the chainstays by as much as 15 millimeters lengthening the rear end for more stability or shortening it up for quick nimble manners.
