The Epic Hardtail Expert has one of the lightest carbon frames in the world. The German designer Peter Denk drove the frame weight well below the 1000 gram mark and gave the competition a real headache. The moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. When the frame is Specialized, its all about quality. The Carbon chassis is above average. With the suspension, Specialized opens up the magic box, because the suspension elements block with state-of-the-art technology fully automatic, depending on the riding situation. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
