Specialized The S-Works Epic WC is the fastest bike for XC racing on smooth trails, thanks to an unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and lightness. Champion Christopher puts it this way: This bike gives me everything I could wish for from a hardtail, with the added control and capabilities of a full. To create this racing machine, Specialized adopted a fully integrated development approach, inventing an entirely new shock absorber, thanks to four decades of victories on the off-road racing stage. To achieve maximum speed through perfect power transfer efficiency and ultra-precise handling, the team of engineers at Specialized set the new standard in terms of torsional stiffness and bottom bracket. The double diamond layout is the most sophisticated in the history of Specialized, and supports the goal of stiffness by integrating the shock absorber as a structural element. The Specialized Ride Dynamics Team developed revolutionary technology for the Epic World Cup to give it the efficiency and responsiveness of a hardtail, along with the control and capability of a full. The RockShox SID Deluxe WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock 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 setup based on a specific course or personal preferences.
