The Specialized EPIC WC PRO is the fastest XC race bike, built to dominate smooth to moderately technical courses with unparalleled efficiency, control, and ultra-lightweight performance. Engineered with World Cup racing in mind, it combines hardtail-like acceleration with full-suspension capability, redefining what’s possible in cross-country competition.
Cutting-Edge Frame & Shock Technology
The Epic World Cup features an advanced carbon layup and double diamond frame structure, delivering superior torsional rigidity and bottom bracket stiffness for maximum power transfer. The shock is integrated into the top tube, enhancing structural integrity while keeping weight to a minimum.
Ride Dynamics-Tuned Suspension
Developed in collaboration with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock introduces a revolutionary independently adjustable air spring system, allowing riders to fine-tune suspension from ultra-firm to plush, depending on the course or personal preference. The Mega Jounce Bumper, an industry-first innovation, ensures seamless bottom-out control, giving the bike the feel of a 100mm travel setup while maintaining just 75mm of actual rear travel.
BRAIN Technology in the Fork
The SID SL BRAIN fork (110mm travel) features Position-Sensitive technology, automatically adjusting between supple small-bump compliance and a firm pedaling platform, eliminating the need for remote lockouts or manual adjustments.
Ultra-Lightweight for Maximum Speed
Weighing just 1,915 grams (including shock and hardware, painted), the Epic WC frame is among the lightest full-suspension XC frames ever built. The design takes inspiration from the Aethos road bike, utilizing a highly advanced composite layup and tube shaping for optimal weight savings and stiffness.
Premium Roval Control SL Components
Outfitted with the Roval Control SL wheelset (1,240g), integrated cockpit (250g), and carbon seatpost (180g), this bike provides exceptional stiffness and control, ensuring maximum efficiency on demanding XC courses.
Pro-Level Components for World Cup Racing
The SRAM XO Eagle Transmission delivers race-level electronic shifting, while hand-built Roval Control carbon wheels (29mm internal width) ensure exceptional ride quality and durability.
