Specialized Epic Evo Expert is streets ahead of its rivals in sizing and geometry. Long reach gives you freedom to get creative on any trail.
Fast and light
Expensive

As fast up as it is down, from an XC and marathon viewpoint the Epic is a top contender
You can’t forget to unlock your suspension, so the bike always performs well
Kit all performs exceptionally well
Contemporary geometry gives a blend of snappy handling and technical ability
Rear Brain isn’t adjustable on the fly, so pre-riding the course may be necessary

Extremely light for the category and stiffer and slacker to be faster uphill and down, the new Epic Evo is a blisteringly quick and enjoyable XC/Trail bike if you don’t want extra reach

No SWAT downtube storage

Specialized has done a really good job of taking one bike and making it equally competitive for two different types of riders.
