Overview
About this bike
Specialized's Epic Marathon is an off-road rocket. The Epic's Brain-controlled FSR rear suspension allows this amazing machine to "read" the terrain and turn the suspension on and off according to the trail conditions. And, the M5-aluminum frame is incredibly light, super responsive and so efficient you'll climb and accelerate like never before. RockShox' SID Race Carbon fork and Specialized's AFR rear shock dish out 100mm of smooth travel front and rear so you can keep your speed through the rough stuff. Plus, this sweet bike also sports powerful Avid Ultimate disc brakes, flawless SRAM X.0 shifting and featherweight DT Swiss wheels with grippy Specialized tires.
