Model Summary
The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world on smooth to moderately technical courses, thanks to an unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and light weight. A totally integrated development approach merged a structurally superior double-diamond layout with its shock cradled inside the top tube, finished with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history. Co-developed with RockShox, the SIDluxe WCID rear shock uses independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to deliver hardtail-like pedalling snap with the control and momentum-carrying of full suspension — tunable across a spectrum of firm to soft with no remote lockout required. This S-Works Frameset lets you build your own Epic World Cup around the range-topping FACT 12m Carbon chassis, at just 1,765 grams painted with shock and all hardware, paired with the 180-gram Roval Control SL seatpost.
Key Highlights
- Race-winning WCID suspension platform: the SIDluxe WCID rear shock provides hardtail-like snap and full-suspension control from 75mm of rear travel, with no remote lockout needed.
- Ultra-light S-Works FACT 12m Carbon frame: just 1,765 grams painted with shock and hardware — the lightest chassis in the Epic World Cup range.
- Race-tuned XC geometry: a 66.5° head angle and short, snappy chainstays across all sizes for confident handling on smooth-to-technical World Cup courses.
- Modern Boost spacing: 12x148mm UDH-compatible rear axle and 15x110mm Boost front spacing for a stiff, precise, drivetrain-flexible platform.
- Build your own race weapon: supplied complete with rear shock, matched RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN-compatible front end, Roval Control SL seatpost, seat collar, rear axle, and derailleur hanger.
