A good bike frame can make all the difference, and at Escapa, we know that. That’s why we’re introducing the Specialized S-Works Epic World Cup 25 frame. Accelerate faster and climb more efficiently thanks to its unique geometry. With an extremely low weight achieved through the distribution of carbon layups and tube shapes, the Specialized S-Works Epic World Cup 25 frame lets you enjoy every ride to the fullest.
THINK FASTER
The Epic World Cup is the world’s fastest XC race bike on smooth to technical trails thanks to its unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and lightness. World champion Christopher Blevins put it this way: “This bike gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of a full-suspension bike.”
BENCHMARK FRAME
To deliver maximum speed through unprecedented power transfer efficiency and highly precise handling, our engineering team set and achieved new standards in torsional stiffness and bottom bracket stiffness. This goal required an integrated development approach that fused a structurally superior double-diamond design with a shock cradled inside the top tube, all finished with the most sophisticated carbon layup in Specialized’s history.
OUTPERFORMING ITS OWN CATEGORY
The Epic World Cup’s 75mm of rear travel provides the control and capability of a longer-travel bike. Because it’s designed to run with very little sag, it offers the same effective travel as a 100mm bike with 25% sag. To further optimize suspension performance, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team has tuned the air chamber to be relatively linear in the mid-travel range, allowing it to absorb large impacts like a longer-travel bike. Due to its large size, the Mega Jounce Bumper is an “industry first” and plays a crucial role in shock absorption when you hit hard impacts
THE BEST FLEX IS NO FLEX
The Epic World Cup frame features the 180-gram Roval Control SL seatpost, which boasts unmatched lightness, stiffness, and control on the World Cup circuit.
DETAILS
- The new Epic World Cup frame incorporates Ride Dynamics Developed suspension technology and 75 mm of optimized rear travel. Thanks to its suspension system, the Epic World Cup offers unmatched pedaling efficiency and is ready for the most demanding descents.
- The new Control SL seatpost is one of the lightest on the market, further reducing weight so riders can climb with less effort.
