Specialized S-Works Epic WC frameset - Red black

The Specialized Epic World Cup frame is the fastest XC racing bike on smooth trails, thanks to an unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and light weight. Champion Christopher expresses it this way, "This bike gives me everything I could ever want from a hardtail, with the added control and capabilities of a full frame." To create this race machine, we took a totally integrated development approach, inventing an entirely new shock absorber, thanks in part to four decades of wins on the off-road racing stage. To achieve maximum speed through perfect power transfer efficiency, and an ultra-precise ride, our engineering team set the new standard in terms of torsional stiffness and at the bottom bracket. The double-diamond layout is the most sophisticated in Specialized's history, and supports the stiffness goal by integrating the shock absorber as a structural element. The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed a revolutionary technology for the Epic World Cup to give it the efficiency and responsiveness of a hardtail, and in addition the control and capability of a full. The RockShox SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock absorber, with independently adjustable positive and negative air springs, gives the Epic WC the coveted "snap" of hardtails, combined with a lightness that devours the terrain and provides the ability to adjust the set up to suit a specific route or personal preference. The 75 mm of travel on the Epic World Cup behaves as if it were much more. When the bike is ridden in firm mode, it offers the same positive travel as a 100 mm travel bike set up with a 25 percent sag. By optimizing air volumes and damping characteristics, the Epic WC can handle bumps like a bike with more generous travel. The dedicated MegaJounce pad provides robust end-stroke support to handle the most violent impacts. While the revolutionary SID Deluxe WCID shock absorber provides the perfect mix of absorption and firmness on the rear carriage, in the fork the BRAIN is alive and well with Position-Sensitive technology and 15mm of sag, with no lock out or levers to operate. With the frame weighing only 1765 grams (painted, with shock and small parts), the Epic World Cup is the lightest on the market. This lightness translates into explosive acceleration, climbs with maximum efficiency, and amazing handling. The sum of these characteristics is speed. We were able to design such a lightweight yet stiff frame because of what we learned in the design of the Aethos, particularly in reference to the carbon layup. The Epic World Cup comes with the new ultra-light and stiff Roval Control SL seatpost. The new Epic World Cup with Ride Dynamics Developed Suspension Technology has 75mm of travel on the rear wheel. Thanks to the new technology, pedaling is very efficient and this Epic is ready for the most challenging descents. The new Roval Control SL is among the lightest seatposts on the off-road market.
