Expirience with the Specialized Epic Expert

Ludwig Döhl The latest Epic Expert 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 11,1 kg, the Specialized is a real lightweight. Thanks to a moderate 65,9 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range on long tours in light terrain, the Specialized Fully is one of the best models in the on long tours in light terrain category. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
