Specialized EPIC WORLD CUP PRO - 29" Carbon Mountain Bike - 2025 - satin burnt gold metallic / liquid metal

Faster than expected - Specialized Epic World Cup Pro

The Specialized Epic World Cup is the fastest cross country race bike in the world thanks to its unsurpassed combination of efficiency, control and low weight on light to medium trails. All it took to build this speed machine was an absolutely holistic development approach, the invention of a radical new shock and four decades of off-road experience crowned with countless victories.

World champion Christopher Blevins put it best: "This bike gives me everything I love about hardtails, plus the control and capability of a full-suspension bike."

New standards

In order to achieve maximum speed through mercilessly efficient power transfer and precise handling, the Specialized engineering team has set and achieved new standards in terms of torsional and bottom bracket stiffness. This feat required a holistic development approach, combining a structurally superior double-diamond layout with a top tube-integrated shock and the most sophisticated carbon layup in Specialized's history.

Shockingly fast

The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed a revolutionary shock technology for the Epic World Cup that gives you the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail plus the control and performance of a full-suspension bike - all with a simple setup. Developed in conjunction with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock uses a unique, independently adjustable positive and negative air spring. This provides the coveted snap of a hardtail and swallows difficult terrain, maintains your momentum and forgives riding errors. The setup can be adapted to different trails or tailored to your preferences. If you set the Epic WC to a hard setting, it rides like a hardtail; in a softer setup, it clears the bumps out of the way. Not only do you have the option of opening or closing the compression damping, the simple nature of the setup also allows you to ride with or without sag.

Extremely capable

At 75mm, the rear suspension of the Epic World Cup offers the same control and capability as a bike with much more travel. It is designed to be ridden predominantly in or close to the topped-out position. This results in the same positive suspension travel as a bike with 100mm travel and 25% sag. To further optimize suspension performance, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team tuned the spring rate so that it is relatively flat in the middle of the stroke and can handle most impacts like a longer travel bike. The size of the Mega Jounce Bumper, the special bump stop damper, is a first and plays a crucial role in smoothly handling bottom-outs on big impacts.
