Is the Specialized S-Works Epic the fastest hardtail we've ever ridden? At 8.23kg (18.1lb) for the complete bike, it is most definitely the lightest.

We’ve assembled, set up and had a couple of quick laps of the race track on the most anticipated arrival to the XC circuit this season, ahead of our full review here’s what we are in for. Mad light, S-Works light. 10kg (including carbon water bottle cage) is very exciting for a bike you can …
10kg of the best.
Clean and neat.
Ultimate efficiency.
Chain slap noise.
A little bland looking perhaps?

Blistering straight-line-speed-focused suspension and handling character, but technically unforgiving. Buy if you're after a race bike that offers plenty of straight-line-speed-focused suspension and and don't mind the harder handling

Forgiving frame feel
Super-fast tyres
Unforgiving old-school handling
Flexy front end
Noticeable suspension clunk
