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

Rocketship fast when you hit the pedals
Far more capable and confident than the amount of travel might suggest

Accurate line choice is recommended

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
