For 2014, Specialized assembled their largest development team ever to revamp their top-selling bike, the Epic. They looked to make the Epic faster, lighter and smoother. And they added a 1x11 only World Cup Edition version. - Mtbr.com

As if the standard Specialized Epic Expert Carbon wasn’t already sufficiently purpose built for cross-country riding and racing, there’s the even edgier World Cup version that features slightly reduced and more firmly tuned suspension travel, quicker handling, and beefed-up carbon chain stays that will only work with 1x drivetrains.
