Going all the way back to when inspiration for the EVO lineup was still waiting to be drawn from employee bike racks packed with hot-rodded Epics sporting shorter stems wider bars and longer forks Epic EVO has always been about taking the Epic’s unmatched pedaling efficiency nimble handling and featherweight chassis and injecting an added dose of capability to make quick work of technical singletrack and demanding descents. While the Epic EVO sees a seemingly modest 20-millimeter increase in suspension travel up front over its Epic stablemate and just 10-millimeters out back we’ve worked overtime to make sure it’s been implemented in a way that’ll have you saying ‘Whoa!’ as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack. While the Epic EVO gains a seemingly modest 20 millimeters of front and 10 millimeters of rear travel over its Epic stablemate we’ve worked overtime to make sure it’s been implemented in a way that’ll have you saying ‘Whoah!’ as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack. Meticulously engineered to retain as much of the Epic’s standard-setting efficiency as possible the EVO’s new suspension kinematics work in concert with Rx XC Tune customized suspension front and rear to ensure you're able to make the absolute most out of every inch of travel on tap while still offering increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedaling efficiency. With plenty of practice at staying ahead of the curve the Epic EVO now lays claim to the most capable iteration of our Progressive XC Geometry ever to grace an Epic. It’s also more versatile than ever thanks to a new flip chip-equipped rear end that allows riders to adjust headtube angle and bottom bracket height to easily customize Epic EVO’s handling characteristics. Flip It To Rip It: Tune the ride of the S-Works Epic EVO’s FACT 12m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with flip-chip simplicity that allows riders to reduce the EVO’s headtube angle by half a degree while lowering bottom bracket height by 10 millimeters.

Hey you yeah you...the one with the scale out seeing which of the six identical tires on the shelf is the lightest. Sure some might call you a bit obsessive but no worries here the S-Works Epic is speaking exactly the same language. Countless design hours endless test laps terabytes of telemetry data—all of it to make sure not a single ounce of speed was left on the table. Mixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results the S-Works Epic has always been defined by obsessive commitment to speed. Well that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too. A Smarter BRAIN True to form the latest Epic continues the tradition taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension we’ve 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 S-Works Epic frame features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle in order to take full advantage of the BRAIN’s new race-tuned pedaling platform. A dedicated layup schedule and the use of our top-shelf FACT 12m Carbon takes weight savings yet a step further than it’s stablemates while the pièce de résistance comes in the form of a carbon fiber shock link combining to shave a total of over 100 grams from the previous generation S-works frame—no easy task mind you. Pairing perfectly with the Brain rear shock for the most balanced suspension perfomance on an Epic yet the S-Works' Position-Sensitive Brain fork benefits from RockShox’s svelte-yet-stiff SID SL Ultimate chassis improving front-end stiffness and handling precision while keeping the grams at bay. SRAM’s flagship XX1 Eagle AXS group certainly fits the bill when only the best will do dispatching shifts with electronic authority while we tasked Roval with creating an entirely new Control SL rim that wouldn’t just be able to go toe-to-toe with the Epic’s newfound speed and handling performance but add a bit of its own into the mix as well. If speed could talk it’d introduce itself as the all-new S-Works Epic frame. Offering 100-millimeters of brilliantly efficient Brain-controlled travel the S-Work Epic increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer while the use of FACT 12m carbon a dedicated layup and a full carbon shock link also make it the lightest full suspension frame we’ve ever created all while offering the most capable handling in an Epic yet. Nice to meet you speed. Pairing 100 millimeters of the most efficent travel on earth with RockShox's svelte-yet-stiff SID SL Ultimate chassis the RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN fork serves as the pinnacle of XC-race supsension perfection. SRAM's XX1 Eagle AXS isn't just the lightest electronic MTB groupset on the market it's also designed to withstand World-Cup winning chain loads while instantaneously snapping of instantaneous shifts to ensure you're never caught on the back foot. Created specifically to match the increased capabilities of the Epic the Roval Control SL rim introduces a completely new offset rim profile that features a 29-millimeter-wide internal width and not only increases strength and reduces weight but also improves pinch-flat resistance by 22-percent.

You never forget your first taste of real speed you know the kind that brings an ear-to-ear grin you just can't seem to shake. Not to worry from grinning to winning the Epic Comp has you covered. 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 we’ve 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 more confident 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 Reba RL from RockShox benefits from the SID's development on the World Cup circuit providing a race-tested Motion Control damper with external low-speed compression lockout and rebound adjustments. Sprightly stoppers from SRAM Level TL brakes offer smooth modulation for precise speed control. Specialized Alloy tubeless-ready rims feature a modern 25-millimeter internal width allowing tires to achieve their ideal profile and footprint for optimal traction. <div id='product-details' class='product-details' style='box-sizing: border-box; box-shadow: none !important;' data-product='{'id_shop_default':'1''id_manufacturer':'3''id_supplier':'1''reference':'90322-500''is_virtual':'0''delivery_in_stock':'''delivery_out_stock':'''id_category_default':'15''on_sale':'0''online_only':'0''ecotax':0'minimal_quantity':'1''low_stock_threshold':null'low_stock_alert':'0''price':'u00a34950.00''unity':'''unit_price_ratio':'0.000000''additional_shipping_cost':'0.000000''customizable':'0''text_fields':'0''uploadable_files':'0''redirect_type':'''id_type_redirected':'0''available_for_order':'1''available_date':'2022-03-15''show_condition':'0''condition':'new''show_price':'1''indexed':'1''visibility':'both''cache_default_attribute':'20631''advanced_stock_management':'0''date_add':'2021-10-17 13:54:03''date_upd':'2021-10-20 16:42:27''pack_stock_type':'3''meta_description':'''meta_keywords':'''meta_title':'''link_rewrite':'epic-comp-specialized-2022-maroon-ice-specialized-papaya''name':'Epic Comp Specialized 2022 Maroon/Ice Specialized Papaya''description':' Offering 100-millimeters of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel the Epicu2019s 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.

Trail-worthy meet drool-worthy. Perfect now that introductions are out of the way let’s do our best to try and grasp the fact that the Epic EVO Pro manages to channel the Epic’s standard-setting pedaling efficiency while delivering jaw-dropping on-trail capability—and look darn good doing it. While the Epic EVO sees a seemingly modest 20-millimeter increase in suspension travel up front over its Epic stablemate and just 10-millimeters out back we’ve worked overtime to make sure it’s been implemented in a way that’ll have you saying ‘Whoa!’ as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack. Meticulously engineered to retain as much of the Epic’s standard-setting efficiency as possible the EVO’s new suspension kinematics work in concert with Rx XC Tune customized suspension front and rear to ensure you're able to make the absolute most out of every inch of travel on tap while still offering increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedaling efficiency. With plenty of practice at staying ahead of the curve the Epic EVO now lays claim to the most capable iteration of our Progressive XC Geometry ever to grace an Epic. It’s also more versatile than ever thanks to a new flip chip-equipped rear end that allows riders to adjust headtube angle and bottom bracket height to easily customize Epic EVO’s handling characteristics. Dressed to impress the Epic EVO Pro sports top-shelf Fox Factory suspension front and rear to keep things poised when the going gets rough while the silky shifts and rock-solid performance of Shimano's 12-speed XTR group will never go out of style. Flip It To Rip It: Tune the ride of the Epic EVO’s FACT 11m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with flip-chip simplicity that allows riders to reduce the EVO’s headtube angle by half a degree while lowering bottom bracket height by 10 millimeters. Pairing the all-new FOX FLOAT Step-Cast 34 Factory's lightweight chassis with the Fit4 damper's impressive control and on-the-fly compression adjustment makes for a fork with impressive performance both climbing and descending making it a perfect match for the Epic EVO. Stuck in your search for braking bliss? Don't worry Shimano's XTR M9120 brakes will see you on your way to braking nirvana with their Servo-Wave roller-cam levers and superlative stopping power coming from four ceramic pistons per caliper. 27 years of loving devotion—and countless engineering hours—from Shimano have certainly paid dividends for their legendary XTR groupset breaking it's own performance benchmarks time and time again in it's wildly successful quest for the ultimate shifting experience. Descending from a long World Cup lineage hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29-millimeter internal-width hookless rim and straight-pull DT Swiss 350 hubs to maximize strength ride quality and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
