Expirience with the Specialized Epic Expert

Ludwig Döhl The Epic Fully is a classic among race bikes. Christopher Belvins, Haley Batten and Sina Frei are currently riding it across the World Cup slopes at top speed. So there is no doubt that the Epic Expert also makes heads turn on the race track. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Racebike 8100 Euro with higher quality components. One thing shouldn't be underestimated: In the uphill, the Racebike of Specialized with its overall sporty orientation makes it really hard for in light terrain competitors to catch up. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Specialized sets the bar high! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
