Expirience with the Specialized S-Works Epic – Speed of Light Collection

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. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. The Specialized S-Works Epic has still a ace up its sleeve. When it goes down the hill, the absolutely coherent geometry always makes you want to come back for more. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Specialized puts a lot of trust in its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Specialized Fully sizing runs big.
