Super agile and playful downhill
Very composed

Dropper remote requires strong fingers

A super-fast, momentum carrying machine that’s far more capable than its rear travel might suggest
Rocketship fast when you hit the pedals
Far more capable and confident than the amount of travel might suggest
Covers ground incredibly quickly
Accurate line choice is recommended
Rear tyre needs more bite

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

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

With a 120mm fork and a crazy light 110mm frame, the updated Epic EVO is trail-bike rowdy with a touch of XC speed.

As cross-country bikes evolve, it's no surprise that the Specialized Epic Evo is already a step ahead. It adds travel and length, and loses one element.
