Expirience with the Specialized S-Works Epic

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 S-Works Epic also makes heads turn on the race track. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. All in all, in the on sporty excursions category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Specialized sets the bar high! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Racebike of Specialized sizing runs big.
