Description
Drawing upon the lightest EVO frame ever crafted and the most aggressive rendition of our Progressive XC Geometry yet, the S-Works Epic EVO LTD didn't hold back. It brought together an exceptional supporting cast to offer a "capability-to-weight" ratio that goes beyond impressive, landing squarely in the realm of utterly mind-blowing.
Despite a seemingly modest 20-millimeter increase in front suspension travel compared to its Epic counterpart, along with a mere 10-millimeter bump at the rear, Specialized has toiled relentlessly to implement these changes in a way that will leave you uttering a surprised "Whoa!" as soon as you hit your initial stretch of singletrack.
Specialized meticulous engineering endeavors have focused on maintaining the Epic's unparalleled efficiency. The EVO's fresh suspension kinematics collaborate harmoniously with the Rx XC Tune customized suspension, ensuring you extract the maximum from every inch of available travel. This comes hand in hand with heightened anti-squat attributes, elevating pedaling efficiency.
Adept at leading the way in innovation, the Epic EVO now boasts the most capable version of our Progressive XC Geometry to grace an Epic model. Its versatility has reached new heights thanks to a rear end equipped with a flip chip, enabling riders to tweak the headtube angle and bottom bracket height effortlessly for tailored Epic EVO handling.
For the S-Works Epic EVO LTD, every component adorning its FACT 12m carbon frame has been meticulously chosen to embody the perfect equilibrium of lightness, efficiency, and robust capability. Look no further than the seemingly paradoxical masterpiece—the stiffer, lighter, stronger Roval Control SL wheelset, and SRAM's XC-light yet trail-resilient electronic XX Eagle AXS group and wirelessly actuated Reverb AXS dropper post.
Flip It To Rip It: Tune the ride of the S-Works Epic EVO's FACT 12m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with the user-friendly flip-chip mechanism, allowing riders to reduce the EVO's headtube angle by half a degree while dropping the bottom bracket height by 10 millimeters.
Marriage of the stiff yet lightweight SID Ultimate chassis with RockShox's lightest-ever Charger Race Day damper results in an impressive package, slashing weight while preserving remarkable levels of performance, precision, and control.
At the zenith of drivetrain performance, SRAM's XX Eagle AXS employs cutting-edge wireless technology, delivering astonishingly precise shifts and revolutionary versatility that redefines the riding encounter.
Crafted exclusively to complement the weight savings and enhanced capability of the S-Works Epic and S-Works Epic EVO, the Roval Control SL rim introduces a completely fresh offset rim profile, featuring a 29-millimeter-wide internal width. This innovation not only bolsters strength and trims weight but also elevates pinch-flat resistance by 22 percent.
