Specialized Epic FSR Expert Carbon World Cup Disc Mountain Bike 2017

There’s no doubt that the Specialized Epic FSR Expert Carbon World Cup 2017 is purpose-built for racing. It’s laced with high-performance components that have been specifically chosen to increase efficiency, speed and comfort - all without adding any weight. Starting off this illustrious list is actually the frame:

Constructed from Specialized’s FACT 9m carbon fibre with an M5 alloy rear end, this frame is incredibly lightweight, strong and stiff - ensuring that whatever power you put down, none of it will be wasted. The Specialized World Cup XC 29 Geometry was also developed solely for World Cup XC racing, and therefore focuses on explosive speed and nimble handling when out on the race circuit. This is further enhanced by shorter tube lengths and chainstays.

A fully customised and intelligent front fork, the RockShox SID Brain 29, provides 100mm of trail absorbing travel - but it’s not just any standard front fork. This fork features Brain technology which not only soaks up bumps, but can differentiate between the terrains pressure on the front of the bike and the riders input - this maximises power by stiffening up when impact comes from the rider, but adjusts oil flow when on the flats.

SRAM’s X1 drivetrain has been recruited by Specialized to further enhance efficiency and power transfer. This system provides a wide range of gearing to tackle steep, technical sections of the course, whilst giving enough stiffness and strength to withstand unforeseen rock strikes. The gearing is controlled through SRAM’s X1 gear lever and provides precise, reliable shifting throughout every stage of your ride.

Roval Control wheels with DT Swiss Internals command the incredible strength and stiffness of the rear end, alongside the M5 alloy rear end. This wheelset stops any flex when putting down the power and takes the brunt of the impacts when riding over technical terrain. The Specialized Fast Trak 29x2.2” tyres further enhance this, providing optimum levels of grip and puncture protection for a more controlled and reliable ride.

Features

  • By pairing a FACT 9m carbon fibre frame w/ an M5 alloy rear end with Specialized’s World Cup XC 29 Geometry, this Epic places a focus on tight tube angles and light overall weight for explosive speed and nimble handling on the race circuit
  • The RockShox SID Brain 29 fork provides 100mm of efficient travel. It features Brain technology that distinguishes between terrain and rider input in order to maximise your power, while a Brain Fade adjusts the oil flow when not hitting bumps
  • A SRAM X1 rear derailleur controls a wide range of gears with reliable precision
