Riassunto

The Specialized Epic is a highly efficient and capable cross-country bike, praised for its updated Brain suspension platform, lightweight design, and improved geometry. It excels in technical terrain and climbs, though some riders find the Brain system polarizing and the bike can be harsh on rough trails. The Epic is often compared to other top-tier XC bikes like the Specialized Epic EVO and Rocky Mountain Element.

Pros
  • Updated Brain suspension platform for efficient and capable performance

  • Lightweight design with significant weight savings

  • Improved geometry for better stability and handling

  • Efficient power transfer and climbing ability

  • Confidence-inspiring in technical sections

Cons
  • Brain suspension system can be polarizing and difficult to adjust

  • Harsh ride on rough trails for some riders

  • High price point for some models

  • Limited size options for shorter riders

Key Quotes
This is lighter than its predecessor, with a stiffer frame and suspension that’s more resistant to downforce from the rider when closed, with smoother and faster transitions to open
Bicycling
In our experience, this Epic has to be one of the best handling 100mm travel 29ers available.

Specialized Epic EVO Expert review

lug 2021 · Robin Weaver

A super-fast, momentum carrying machine that’s far more capable than its rear travel might suggest

Pro
  • Rocketship fast when you hit the pedals

  • Far more capable and confident than the amount of travel might suggest

  • Covers ground incredibly quickly

Contro
  • Accurate line choice is recommended

  • Rear tyre needs more bite

Specialized Epic Evo Expert review

dic 2020 · Guy Kesteven

Extremely light for the category and stiffer and slacker to be faster uphill and down, the new Epic Evo is a blisteringly quick and enjoyable XC/Trail bike if you don’t want extra reach

Pro
  • Superlight frame weight

  • Impressive stiffness

  • Excellent SID suspension combo

  • Great suspension tune

  • Confident steering

  • Smart kit choice

Contro
  • Tall seat tube limits upsizing

  • Controls hit the top tube

  • Slow freehub engagement

  • Comp version is even better value

  • No SWAT downtube storage

Fair Wheel Bikes builds 19.8lb Specialized Epic EVO for less money than S-Works

ago 2020 · Zach Overholt

It’s been a while since we’ve posted one of Fair Wheel Bike’s custom builds. But this crazy light Specialized Epic EVO proves that they’re still cranking out some incredible bikes in Arizona.

With a 120mm fork and a crazy light 110mm frame, the updated Epic EVO is trail-bike rowdy with a touch of XC speed.

Review: Specialized Epic Evo S-Works

giu 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!
