Expirience with the Specialized S-WORKS EPIC

Ludwig Döhl The latest S-WORKS EPIC represents the pinnacle of current technical advancement in mountain biking. Despite features such as the storage compartment in the downtube or the integrated steering stop limiter, the frame comes in super light. We really liked the jaw-dropping weight of the complete bike. With 10,46 kg, the Downcountry-Bike von Specialized is a real lightweight. Specialized is taking no risks when it comes to its bike handling. The moderate geometry data conveys a balanced handling. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Specialized to tours with lots of high meters a buying recommendation in the price range 14500 Euro range. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Specialized sets the bar high!
