Overview
About this bike
Specialized's Epic Expert Carbon 29er is ready for anything - from World Cup racing to blowing by your riding buddies to epic adventures in the forest. This carbon rocket features 100mm of Specialized's world-renowned, Brain-controlled FSR rear suspension that delivers hardtail-like efficiency on smooth sections and fully active, plush travel on technical terrain. Its RockShox fork boasts 100mm of trail-smoothing precision and SRAM supplies their slick-shifting 2x10 gearing with svelte carbon cranks. And, Avid's carbon Elixir hydraulic discs slow the sweet DT Swiss 29er wheels down with ease. Plus, the Expert is topped off with a sweet selection of Specialized's aluminum components as well as their trail-hugging tubeless-ready S-Works tires, too.
