Expirience with the Specialized Epic EVO

Ludwig Döhl With a little more suspension travel than the classic Epic, the Epic EVO wants to be ridden properly on single trails. With its geometry, the Specialized Downcountry-Bike is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. On climbs, the Specialized Fully lets you sweat. Other bikes 4500 Euro climb better. For 4500 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. Specialized gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
