Résumé

The Specialized Epic is a highly efficient and lightweight cross-country bike, celebrated for its Brain suspension technology that adapts to terrain for optimal performance. It offers a racy feel with sharp handling and impressive climbing capabilities, though some riders find the Brain system polarizing on rougher trails. The Epic stands out as a top choice for competitive racing, with models providing near S-Works performance at more accessible price points.

Pros
  • Brain suspension technology for adaptive performance

  • Lightweight carbon frame enhances climbing efficiency

  • Sharp handling and racy geometry for competitive edge

  • Near S-Works performance at lower price points

  • Confidence-inspiring in technical sections

Cons
  • Brain suspension can be polarizing on rough terrain

  • Higher price point for premium models

  • Some models lack size inclusivity

  • Components may not match top-tier S-Works spec

Key Quotes
The Epic Pro offers nearly identical ride qualities as the S-Works Epic at a fraction of the cost.

Review: Specialized Epic Evo S-Works

juin 2020

Specialized has done a really good job of taking one bike and making it equally competitive for two different types of riders. If you search out the longest backcountry trails or like to get to the top of your local spot at record time, you may want to take the Epic Evo S-Works for a spin. Read our full review here!

Specialized Epic Expert Carbon Evo 2020 review

avr. 2020

Specialized's Epic Expert Carbon Evo is a satisfyingly fun and fast take on a less pointy kind of cross-country distance machine, but the Brain-equipped rear suspension can feel more idiot than intellectual and the spec is rather pedestrian for the cash. If you can get over that then it provides plenty of high tempo fun for those seeking distance and thrills.

Specialized Epic Comp Carbon EVO review

déc. 2019 · Mick Kirkman

The Epic EVO is a blast, but some of the Comp’s kit will be a bit heavy for full-XC psycho pain-cavers

Points forts
  • EVO handling is super-sweet and intuitive

  • Ride position eggs you on to give it everything pretty much all of the time

Points faibles
  • Brain 2.0 won’t be smart enough for every rider

  • Some components are out of place on a £4k XC-style bike

Specialized S-Works Epic HT AXS: first ride review - MBR

nov. 2019 · Alan Muldoon

The latest Specialized S-Works Epic HT AXS is their top-flight XC bike that cuts weight to the bone but how tough is it on the rider?

Points forts
  • Amazingly capable for a World Cup XC race bike. Ultra-light and compliant carbon frame. No holds barred specification.

Points faibles
  • The price seems insanely high.

Specialized Epic Expert EVO in review

oct. 2019 · Trev Worsey

The Epic is Specialized’s no-nonsense lightweight XC racer. But just like the Stumpjumper, the Epic is also offered in a more progressive EVO spec.

Points forts
  • Very lively on flow trails

  • Like a rocket uphill

Points faibles
  • Micro Brain inertia valve delay

  • XC cockpit limits versatility

Specialized Epic Comp Evo Review

sept. 2019 · Guy Kesteven

Has a longer fork and bigger tyres turned the alloy Specialized Epic into a lightweight play bike?

Points forts
  • Still extremely light for the money despite a trail toughened spec

  • Unique and very effective automatic hardtail/full suspension switching

Points faibles
  • Flexy frame and wheels, plus short and steep geometry

  • Clunky suspension actuation in firmer modes, highlighted by gappy free-hub pick up
