What do you get when you provide a clever, singletrack-loving development team with practically unlimited resources and task them with building the fastest XC trail bike of all time? The answer is the Specialized Epic Evo. The developers took the front end of the Epic, created an entirely new rear, replaced the Brain system with a specially tuned metric shock that offers more travel, and fine-tuned the geometry for technical terrain handling. Ready, set, shred. Crossing the finish line first is not the only way to worship at the altar of speed. When it comes to racking up backcountry miles and tackling endless singletracks with relentless efficiency, the Specialized Epic Evo—with its pure Epic speed, refined suspension, increased travel, and trail-proven geometry—is your unbelievably fast companion. Light yet stiff. Powerful yet efficient. Fun yet focused. If Goldilocks ever wanted to leave you behind, Specialized would bet all its chips that she would choose the Epic Evo to do so.
