Specialized Epic World Cup Pro XC Mountain Bike In Satin Burnt Gold Metallic/Liquid Metal

Think Fastest: The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world.

World Champ Christopher Blevins said it best, "This thing gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension." All it took to create this speed machine was a totally integrated development approach, inventing a radical new shock, and four decades of off-road winning experience.

To deliver maximum speed through ruthlessly efficient power transfer and precision handling, the engineering team set and achieved new standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness. This feat required an integrated development approach that merged a structurally superior double diamond layout with its shock cradled inside the top-tube, and finished off with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history.

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team conceived of and invented a revolutionary shock technology for the Epic World Cup that gives the rider the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail plus the control, capability, and momentum-carrying of full suspension—all with a simple setup.

Features:

• 75mm of rear travel delivers control and capability of a longer travel bike.
• Custom Mega Jounce Bumper smoothly manages bottom-out on big impacts.
• SIDLuxe WCID shock provides a unique blend of support and compliance.
• Frame weight of just 1,915 grams for faster acceleration and agile handling.
