Riassunto

The Specialized Epic Hardtail is celebrated for its ultra-light frame, exceptional climbing ability, and smooth ride quality, making it a top contender in the cross-country category. Its innovative design and technology, including the Brain fork, offer a good balance between efficiency and comfort, though some may find the fork's lockout abrupt. The bike's high performance comes with a premium price, especially for the S-Works builds.

Pros
  • Ultra-light and stiff frame

  • Exceptional climbing ability

  • Smooth ride quality

  • Innovative Brain fork technology

  • High performance for cross-country racing

Cons
  • Abrupt hard stop in Brain fork

  • Premium price point for S-Works builds

  • Limited dropper post choices in some models

Key Quotes
Specialized has clearly set a new benchmark with a medium mountain bike frame that weighs a claimed 875g.

Specialized Epic Expert EVO in review

ott 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.

Pro
  • Very lively on flow trails

  • Like a rocket uphill

Contro
  • Micro Brain inertia valve delay

  • XC cockpit limits versatility

Specialized Epic Comp Evo Review

set 2019 · Guy Kesteven

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

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

  • Unique and very effective automatic hardtail/full suspension switching

Contro
  • Flexy frame and wheels, plus short and steep geometry

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

First Ride: The Specialized Epic HT is a rad race hardtail

ago 2019 · Zach Overholt

Riding the new Specialized Epic HT in Northstar at Tahoe proved that this is not your old school XC bike. Instead, it's a very light, very capable racer.

Specialized Epic Expert EVO first ride review

mag 2019 · Robin Weaver

A pedalling-friendly platform that’s great fun to ride on rowdier trails when the speeds pick up

Pro
  • Brain shock is easy to tune to balance comfort and pedalling efficiency

  • Deceptively capable considering it only has 100mm of rear travel

  • Confident-handling in challenging terrain yet still feels super-fast on the climbs

Contro
  • Brain takes time to get used to

  • Not exactly cheap

Specialized Epic Expert Evo review: XC speed with more sizzle - CyclingTips

nov 2018 · James Huang

Specialized has offered several “Evo” mountain bike models in the past, all fitted with burlier builds that aim to make things more fun on the way down, with minimal sacrifice on the way up. For the first time, the XC racing-focused Epic gets the treatment, with the new Epic Expert Evo retaining the family’s excellent […]

Pro
  • Brain rear shock performs as claimed, superb handling, mostly fantastic build kit

Contro
  • Brain rear shock is quirky, woeful rear hub, so-so weight

Specialized Epic Expert Evo 2019 Review

ago 2018

Specialized have a magnificent cross-country race bike with the latest version of the Epic. But you can't race every day, and so in a bid to broaden the Epic's appeal, they've now got an Evo version too. But does it successfully bridge the gap between race and play?

Pro
  • Magnificent build quality.

  • Trademark Epic efficiency.

  • Top marks for overal singletrack handling.

  • Stiff, precise frame and wheels.

Contro
  • Brain shock not ideal for trail riding in some regards.

  • Some components are a bit low-end for this price.
