Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Specialized Epic Hardtail Expert 29er 2019 Mountain Bike - Grey/Red

Season:2019

Brand:Specialized

Code:237767262945

So we thought to ourselves 'what better time then now to shake things up with a modern revolutionary design?' say hello to the epic hardtail expert.

It's one of the lightest frames we've ever made tipping the scales around 1175g. And to make it this light we built the entyre frame from our superlative FACT 11m carbon fibre and then we took some cues from our road bikes. We borrowed the rider-first engineered concept that originated with the tarmac. Now the frame design applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size. This creates the optimal balance of rigidity weight and responsiveness so every frame regardless of size performs just as we intended.

We've also tweaked the geometry for more speed and stability by slacking-out the head tube angle lengthening the top tube and correcting the seat tube angle. This way it feels more planted then ever and frankly it's stupid fast. We also widened the rear spacing to 12x148mm and included internal split-housing cable routing.

For the build this epic hardtail successfully balances value with performance with a custom-tuned Rockshox sid fork with brain SRAM GX eagle 12-speed shifting and quick-to-accelerate Roval control carbon wheels.



  • By pairing a FACT 11m carbon fiber frame with our XC 29 geometry, this epic places a focus on revolutionary tube angles and light overall weight for explosive speed and nimble handling on the race circuit.
  • Roval's new control carbon wheels have many of the hallmarks of the control sl wheels, like a 25mm internal width, and a new shapemaking traction, low weight, and durability all top priorities.
  • Sram's 12-speed GX eagle groupset, with its 10-50t cassette, provides a wide gear range that lets you spin up the climbs, yet have plenty of top end for the descents. One-by setups also decrease weight and make it next to impossible to drop a chain.
