The 2018 Specialized Epic Comp Carbon is a fast, efficient cross-country race bike built for riders who want full-suspension performance without a sky-high price tag. It features a lightweight FACT 11m carbon main frame paired with an alloy rear triangle and 100mm of rear travel controlled by Specialized’s Brain 2.0 system, which automatically adjusts suspension stiffness based on terrain. With a RockShox Reba RL fork, SRAM 1x11 drivetrain, and fast-rolling 29" wheels, the Epic Comp Carbon is optimized for speed and responsiveness on climbs, flats, and technical XC trails. It’s a race-capable platform that balances value, weight, and proven World Cup-inspired geometry.
