Specialized Epic Evo Expert Carbon/Gold Ghost Pearl

Epic Evo Expert 2023 | Marathon fully

Looking for a bike that climbs to dizzying heights as easily as it sprints down the straight? Your search is over, because you've come across the Epic EVO Expert. Whether climbing or descending, the Epic EVO Expert masterfully combines inspiring handling, capable geometry and laser-focused pedalling efficiency, taking the choice between speed and fun away from you because it lets you have both at the same time. Although the Epic EVO has a seemingly modest increase in travel of 20mm front and 10mm rear compared to its stablemate Epic, we've spared no effort to ensure these are implemented in a way that will leave you absolutely amazed on the first bit of singletrack. The new kinematics of the EVO suspension have been incredibly carefully developed so that none of the Epic's outstanding efficiency is lost. Working in perfect harmony with the fork and shock in the bespoke Rx XC tune, it ensures that you get the most out of every inch of travel and retains the increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedaling efficiency. With plenty of practice in riding up front, the Epic EVO claims to be the most capable version of our progressive XC geometry that has ever graced an Epic. Thanks to the new rear end equipped with a flip chip, the Epic EVO is also more versatile than ever. This allows the rider to change the head angle and bottom bracket height and thus easily adjust the ride characteristics. The high-flyer among the drives, the GX Eagle AXS from SRAM, takes over shifting responsibility, while the SID Select+ from RockShox with its powerful Charger 2 RL damper unit is responsible for takeoffs and landings. Flip It To Rip It! Use the flip chip to tune the handling of the FACT 11m carbon frame to your preferred riding characteristics. The Epic EVO allows you to reduce the head angle by half a degree and lower the bottom bracket by 10 mm. The front suspension is provided by RockShox's SID Select+ with 120 mm travel. It is equipped with the Charger 2 RL damper unit, which has a two-stage compression adjustment for impressive pedaling efficiency, while the DebonAir air spring offers easy tuning and a consistent feel across the entire travel. When things get tricky, the stroke of the Manic dropper seat post from X-Fusion can be easily adjusted thanks to the clever lever. The hand-made Roval Control Carbon wheels have a long World Cup history, feature modern hookless rims with an internal width of 29 mm and maximize strength, ride quality and durability with minimal weight.
