The 2019 Specialized Epic Expert EVO is a trail-tuned take on the classic XC race bike, blending the speed of the Epic with geometry and components built for rougher terrain. It features a FACT 11m carbon frame with 100mm of rear travel and a 120mm fork, paired with a slacker head angle and dropper post for added control on descents. Outfitted with a Shimano XTR 12-speed drivetrain and XT hydraulic disc brakes, it delivers precise shifting and confident stopping power. With Brain 2.0 suspension for efficient pedaling and EVO-specific touches, this bike is ready to rip singletrack at race pace with trail-bike confidence.
