Specialized Epic Expert Carbon EVO 2020 Full Suspension MTB - Black

Season:2020

Brand:Specialized

Code:90320-33

A MORE EPIC KIND OF EPIC:
 
Dropper posts and slightly longer forks may seem like overkill on an XC bike. We beg to differ. Epic EVOs are not only fast off the start line, they're even better suited to masochistically long rides, multi-day stage races, and fast backcountry missions.
 
HARDTAIL EFFICIENT. FULL-SUSPENSION CONTROL:
 
Suspension should always make you faster—never slow you down with energy-sucking suspension bob. Our ingenious Brain-equipped shocks keep the Epic firm when the trail is smooth, then automatically turns your bike plush the moment your tires meet rocks and roots.
 
• Race-proven, carbon chassis and ingenious Brain suspension—nothing’s faster.
 
• Increased control courtesy of an ultralight and ultra-capable Fox Step-Cast 34 fork.
 
• SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest climbs.
 
  • Full fact 11m carbon-fiber frame combines stiffness, strength, and light overall weight to deliver a peerless race bike—at any price. Meanwhile, the new geometry, RockShox Brain shock, and 100mm of travel, make the Epic the best handling, fastest XC rig you've been on.
  • Meet Brain 2.0. We mounted the latest generation Brain shock closer to the axle, making it responsive to the smallest of bumps. We also reduced oil turbulence for consistent suspension performance, no matter how big and fast the hits come. Next, we ditched the Brain’s original floating piston for a bladder system that yields even smoother action. The world’s smartest suspension just got even smarter.
  • Some people might call it overkill—our decision to spec the Expert Carbon EVO with a Fox Step-Cast 34 fork. But get on the EVO and it immediately makes sense—you get the bump-eating prowess of a longer-travel fork in a light, flex-free package. If that’s overkill, you can always sign us up for some overkill.
  • The 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain gives you all the gearing you need to tackle the biggest, steepest climbs—in a simple, precise and durable package. Goodbye, front derailleurs. We don’t need you anymore.
  • Hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 25mm internal width hookless rim, ensuring optimal traction and rolling resistance properties.
  • An X-Fusion Manic seatpost brings you some much-needed drop for tackling steep descents, but it also features a zero-offset design that keeps your weight over the bottom bracket for the climbs.
