Résumé

The Specialized Epic is a high-performance cross-country bike praised for its updated Brain suspension system, offering efficient pedaling and plush travel. Its re-engineered geometry, including a slacker headtube angle and longer reach, enhances handling and stability on rough terrain. While it excels in speed and agility, some riders may find its high price point and occasional suspension quirks drawbacks.

Pros
  • Updated Brain platform for efficient pedaling and plush travel

  • New carbon layup and sculpted tubes for weight savings and stiffness

  • Updated geometry including slacker headtube angle and longer reach

  • Wider tire compatibility for improved traction

  • Lightweight Roval wheels with increased compliance and impact strength

Cons
  • High price point

  • Rear Brain’s sensitivity can’t be changed while riding

  • Stock chainring may not suit all racers

  • Prescribed air pressure from the chart may be too high for some riders

Key Quotes
The Specialized S-Works Epic is a bike built to go fast, and it is not shy about it.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
The platform is adaptable to many different riding styles and terrain plus, it’s not too shabby on the eyes either.
Bikerumor logoBikerumor
The feeling is akin to the explosive ride of a hardtail and the plush nature of a full suspension – truly the best of both worlds.

Specialized Epic World Cup review: the carving knife of XC   - Escape Collective

oct. 2023 · Dave Rome

In believing that full suspension is always the faster choice in mountain biking, the Epic WC is Specialized’s replacement for its top-tier cross-country race hardtails.

Points forts
  • Can be set to pedal like a hardtail

  • Is incredibly efficient on smooth surfaces

  • Dialled geometry

  • Lovely frame build quality

  • Good frame rigidity with no creaks or groans

  • No fiddly remote lockouts means an ultra-clean cockpit

  • Solid component spec choices with nice wheels and a powermeter.

Points faibles
  • Suspension can either feel choppy or have you wishing for a lockout

  • Poor headset sealing

  • Minimal weight advantage over a longer-travel full suspension

  • Brain-equipped fork still has a thunk

  • No dropper provided

  • SRAM Level brake lever feel and power.

Specialized Epic EVO, TransAlp Tested

août 2023 · Maureen Gaffney

The Specialized Epic EVO nudges the racy XC bike into trail territory, making it the perfect choice for the BikeTransAlp multi-day stage race.

Points forts
  • It’s beautiful. Beauty may be skin deep, but let’s just admit aesthetics matter. I want to ride this bike. I want to be seen riding this bike

  • It’s lightweight

  • It’s incredibly capable. 29″ wheels with the perfect suspension combo make climbing actually enjoyable, while the addition of 10 more millimeters of suspension travel front and rear as compared to the Epic means descending is not compromised for the sake of climbing performance.

Points faibles
  • Shifter paddles not as adjustable or ergonomic as one might hope.

  • It costs nearly $9,000. I won’t say it’s not worth it, and this is not a high price in comparison to other bikes of this caliber. But it’s still nine thousand dollars and that’s a lot of rent or groceries.

First Look: 2023 Specialized Epic World Cup

avr. 2023 · Henry Quinney

In some ways the Epic World Cup isn't so much a full-suspension bike with a small dose of rear travel but rather a hardtail that happens to have 75mm of travel.
