Epic Evo Deore Exclusive Mountain Bike

Sporting short-travel efficiency and enhanced capability, the Specialized Epic Evo is a top contender for the best downcountry bike out here. The Epic EVO has 110mm of rear wheel travel backed by the renowned FSR suspension system to bring us a cross-country bike that can handle itself all over the trails. A 66.5-degree head tube angle makes the Epic EVO super capable for a short-travel bike, giving us the confidence to take on rowdier trails. At the same time, a flip chip on the rear shock allows us to slacken out the bottom bracket height and head tube angle for more confidence on bigger days. The Epic Evo features size-specific seat tube angles for a balanced and nimble ride, no matter our frame size, and is topped off with two water bottle mounts in the front triangle, integrated frame protection, and internal cable routing.

The Deore Exclusive build of the Specialized Epic Evo is hand-picked by our Gearhead® Experts and is the perfect component spec for budget-focused riders. First up is Specialized's renowned FACT 11m carbon fiber frame, offering stiff power transfer and a super efficient yet capable design. We went with Shimano's Deore group set to bring us a drivetrain with a proven track record and budget-friendly price point, while the Deore 2-piston brakes ensure we have enough power to slow down at race speed. A 120mm RockShox SID Ultimate Race Day, 3-Position fork paired with the Super Deluxe+ rear shock pair together to soak up trail chatter and throw down tons of traction anywhere on the XC course. Lightweight 29-inch Roval Control alloy rims keep us rolling through rock gardens and over trail obstacles with confidence, and the Specialized Control and Fast Trak tires ensure low rolling resistance and grip all over the trail.
