Think Fastest: The Epic World Cup is the ultimate XC race bike for smooth to moderately technical tracks. It combines efficiency, control, and light weight like no other. World Champ Christopher Blevins perfectly described it as a hardtail with the control and capability of full - suspension. We developed this speed machine through an integrated approach, inventing a new shock, and leveraging four decades of off - road success. Frame of Reference: Our engineering team set new standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness for maximum speed. They merged a double - diamond layout with a shock inside the top - tube and used the most advanced composite layup in Specialized history. Shocking Fast: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team created a revolutionary shock technology. Co - developed with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock gives you hardtail efficiency and full - suspension control. You can easily customize the setup to your course or preference. Punching Above Its Category: With 75mm of rear travel, it offers the control of a longer - travel bike. Tuned spring - rate and a custom Mega Jounce Bumper manage bumps and bottom - outs effectively. Have We Lost Our Minds? Sort Of: The new SID Deluxe WCID shock in the rear and the BRAIN in the fork provide a balanced ride. No need for remote lockouts. The Weight Is Over: Weighing just 1,765 grams, it accelerates faster, climbs more efficiently, and handles more agilely. The Big Flex Is No Flex: The frame comes with an 180 - gram Roval Control SL seat post for light weight and control. An all - new Control SL seatpost is one of the lightest off - road seatposts. The all - new SID SL BRAIN fork offers 110mm of performance. The Epic World Cup frame features optimized suspension technology and 75mm of rear travel, delivering great pedal efficiency without lockout switches.

Using Your Epic World Cup: First, adjust the SID Deluxe WCID shock according to your riding course and preference. If it's a smooth track, set it firmer for a hardtail - like ride. For rough descents, open it up. The BRAIN fork in the front will automatically adjust as you ride, so there's no need to worry about using remote lockout switches. Notice that the bike is designed to be ridden at or close to topped - out for the best performance. When climbing, the light frame and efficient suspension will help you go up the hills easily. When descending, the control and shock absorption will keep you stable. Maintenance: Regularly clean your bike after each ride, especially the suspension parts. Check the air pressure in the shock and fork periodically and adjust it as needed. Keep the chain lubricated to ensure smooth power transfer. Also, inspect the brakes and gears to make sure they are in good working condition. Store your bike in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
