Overview
About this bike
Specialized's Epic Expert Carbon 29er is ready for anything - from World Cup racing to blowing by your riding buddies on after-work rides, 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 SID fork boasts 100mm of trail-smoothing precision and SRAM supplies their slick-shifting 2x10 gearing with svelte carbon cranks. And, Formula's R1 hydraulic discs slow the sweet Roval Control 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 tires, too.
