Specialized Epic Expert

The Epic Expert is the bike that screams at you to take it when speed is what counts. With a highly efficient suspension platform offering 100mm of travel both front and rear, this bike is designed to help you gain precious seconds on the stopwatch.

Thanks to the new and intelligent BRAIN system, efficiency is maximized: every watt you put into the pedals translates directly into forward motion, while bumps are absorbed to maintain momentum. This technology, combined with racing calibration, redefines expectations in terms of efficiency.

The new Epic frame is designed to maximize power transfer and improve handling. With a rear end that's 15% stiffer than the previous version, it can make the most of the BRAIN platform with racing calibration, ensuring an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio.

The FACT 11m carbon fiber frame offers rear travel controlled by the BRAIN, ensuring excellent power transfer. The RockShox SID SL BRAIN fork, with 100mm of travel, and BRAIN shock absorbers ensure total control on demanding terrain.

The SRAM Level TL brakes are precise and modulated, ensuring optimal speed control in every situation. The Roval Control Carbon wheels, with a hookless design, are extremely durable and lightweight, ensuring high performance on any terrain.

With the Epic Expert, you're ready to dominate any trail and reach new levels of speed and performance.
