Product Description
2026 SPECIALIZED EPIC WORLD CUP EXPERT
FACT 11m Carbon. WCID Suspension Technology. SRAM GX AXS Transmission.
The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world on smooth to moderately technical courses. By integrating a radical new shock design with four decades of winning experience, Specialized has created a machine that offers the efficiency of a hardtail with the control and capability of full suspension. As World Champ Christopher Blevins says: "This thing gives me everything."
A New Era of Integrated Speed
- WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) Suspension: An independent negative spring and 75mm of travel designed to ride like a hardtail but devour bumps like a full-suspension rig.
- FACT 11m Carbon Frame: Progressive XC Race Geometry and Rider-First Engineered⢠chassis for unmatched lateral rigidity and explosive acceleration.
- SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission: The benchmark for robust wireless shifting, featuring a hangerless interface that performs flawlessly even under maximum racing loads.
- RockShox SID SL Select+ Fork: 110mm of precision-tuned travel with a Ride Dynamics developed 3-position damper for ultimate front-end control.
- Roval Control SL Carbon Wheels: Professional-grade hookless carbon rims with a 29mm internal width, paired with ultra-reliable DT Swiss 370 hubs.
- SRAM Motive Bronze Brakes: New 4-piston hydraulic calipers provide elite stopping power and modulation in a lightweight, race-ready package.
