Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp - Grey

The days when riding your hardtail meant feeling the consequences for days are over. The Epic Hardtail Comp changes the game and combines comfort and capability with lightness. Making the bike as light as possible has always been the race within the race, but at what cost? The battle of grams has certainly not been without casualties, and XC hardtail bikes have become notorious for a harsh and twitchy ride that comes at the expense of capability and versatility. But who said that the struggle against your bike makes you faster? We must instead recognize that the fastest bike is more than just a lightweight bike. Enough with the bone-jarring rides, the measuring-of-saddle-pain-based-on-distance, and let’s move forward with new thinking. The Epic Hardtail, ridiculously capable, mystically comfortable, head-turning light, and fast all around. Sure, Specialized has optimized every little detail of the Epic Hardtail to still create the lightest production frame in the world, but the commitment was primarily to create a capable and comfortable Epic Hardtail with aggressive geometry inspired by singletrack, providing ample space for tires, and ensuring excellent vertical absorption – all in the creation of a bike that lives and breathes the foundations of speed. Quality components like the RockShox SID SL fork and SRAM drivetrain, a great product at a reasonable price.
