Super agile and playful downhill
Very composed
Intuitive handling
Rear suspension bobs in open mode and cannot be locked from the handlebars
Dropper remote requires strong fingers

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
Jan 2021 · Tom Marvin
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
Dec 2020 · Guy Kesteven
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
Superlight frame weight
Impressive stiffness
Excellent SID suspension combo
Great suspension tune
Confident steering
Smart kit choice
Tall seat tube limits upsizing
Controls hit the top tube
Slow freehub engagement
Comp version is even better value
No SWAT downtube storage

What happens when you take one of the lightest hardtail mountain bikes, add drop bars and send it off on a bikepacking trip? We did exactly that with the Specialized S-Works EPIC HT AXS Custom and tell you whether the concept works.
Acceleration
Best of the best components
Confidence-inspiring handling
Amazing concept for racers
Frame requires delicate treatment
Fork sags when you pedal standing up

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.
