Specialized Mountain Bikes
If Specialized's road bikes get the full-on engineering and testing treatment, just imaging the requirements for some of the best full-suspension XC Race and Trail mountain bikes ever developed. Whether in carbon or aluminum, the incredible level of engineering and material science that goes into managing the stresses and loads on all frame components, but particularly the crucial head tube and bottom bracket junctions, the R&D team at Specialized consistently push the boundaries, yet never forget that ultimately reliability and the ability to ride out to the trailhead or finish line is what is truly important. Rider safety and overall quality are never set aside for a few grams. FACT M grade carbon and M5 aluminum provide framesets with the best materials available, while suspension components from FOX, RockShox and Olin deliver all the capability you need to dominate any trail or race course.

At Excel Sports, our best selling mountain bikes fall squarely into the Epic and Stumpjumper universe. Splitting the middle is the incredible versatile S-Works Epic EVO, a wonderfully capable, lightweight bike that offers suspension set-up options and tire clearance for almost any trail experience. The S-Works Epic is the premium-grade full-suspension XC race bike, with both the frame and fork featuring the ground surface / impact response from near lockout, to active suspension. The Epic offers incredible speed, traction, and trail management in every model, but the S-Works and Pro models define the XC race experience. Complete bikes at those levels roll on Roval carbon wheels and rely on the lightest Brain suspension system components, developed in a technical collaboration with RockShox.
For those who want to push the boundaries of trail riding even further, without sacrificing climbing traction or overall efficiency, the Stumpjumper and Stumpjumper EVO lines are built in six sizes, versus the usual five. "The Ultimate Trail Bike" suspension re-design - paired with an updated Trail Geometry and the Rider-First Engineered frame’s perfect blend of stiffness and light weight - turns the Stumpjumper into an absolute monster descending. Point it where you want to go and let the party begin. FOX Factory suspension graces the S-Works and Pro models, and FOX powers the suspension of the whole line. The EVO version gains travel, overall capability, horst pivot BB adjustment and beefed up frame, suspension components, and encourages you to rip over terrain you'd normally avoid.
