Specialized Epic World Cup Pro Cross Country Mountain Bike: The Fastest XC Race Bike
The Specialized Epic World Cup Pro Cross Country Mountain Bike is built for ultimate performance on smooth to moderately technical courses, offering an unparalleled combination of speed, control, and efficiency. Whether you're looking to accelerate through the racecourse or tackle challenging descents, this bike provides the perfect balance of lightweight responsiveness and terrain-taming capability.
Key Benefits for Riders
Revolutionary Suspension for Unmatched Performance
Featuring the SID Deluxe WCID shock, co-developed with RockShox, the Epic World Cup delivers a shock technology that provides the efficiency of a hardtail combined with the terrain-absorbing control of full suspension. The independently adjustable positive and negative air springs allow riders to fine-tune the setup for their personal preference, offering a perfect balance between a responsive ride and a forgiving suspension.
Efficient and Responsive Ride
The Epic World Cup’s 75mm rear travel delivers the control of a longer-travel bike with the efficiency of a race-ready machine. The Mega Jounce Bumper ensures smooth bottom-out performance on bigger impacts, while the SID SL BRAIN fork with 110mm of bump-muting performance adapts to ground or rider inputs for ultimate efficiency, providing supple small-bump compliance and a firm pedaling platform.
Unmatched Weight and Stiffness
Weighing just 1,915 grams (painted with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup is one of the lightest in its class. This lightweight construction, combined with a stiff frame and optimized geometry, ensures quick acceleration, enhanced climbing, and agile handling—all contributing to speed. The bike’s advanced composite layup and tube shapes draw inspiration from the Aethos, creating a frame that combines ultra-light weight with industry-leading stiffness.
Designed for Precision and Durability
The Roval Control SL wheels are hand-built with carbon fiber rims, delivering exceptional strength, durability, and ride quality, while keeping weight minimal. Paired with the SRAM XO transmission, the bike provides precise, robust shifting performance for the toughest XC races. This combination ensures that the bike performs consistently, even under the most demanding conditions.
Race-Ready Technology
With Ride Dynamics-developed suspension technology, the Epic World Cup is designed to maximize pedaling efficiency while maintaining the capability to handle the roughest descents without any need for lockout switches. The SRAM Level Silver 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power, ensuring you stay in control on every terrain.
