Overview
About this bike
Big wheels equal big fun with Specialized's Epic Hardtail 29er. This top-notch hardtail features a lightweight, strong M5-aluminum frame that soars up the climbs and a RockShox Reba RL fork that offers 95mm of precision bump control through the rough stuff. The 29-inch Roval wheels spin like a dream, while the 2x10-speed Shimano/SRAM drivetrain provides flawless shifting. Shimano Deore disc brakes provide confidence on steep descents and offer speed modulation to let you go faster and brake later. Plus, the Epic comes with a full spread of Specialized aluminum components that achieve the rare trifecta of lightness, strength, and durability to maximize your riding fun.
