Expirience with the Specialized S-Works Epic EVO

Ludwig Döhl With a little more suspension travel than the classic Epic, the S-Works Epic EVO wants to be ridden properly on single trails. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Specialized S-Works Epic EVO. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Specialized Downcountry-Bike has a sporty seating position. In the price range of above 8000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Specialized S-Works Epic EVO. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
