New Specialized Epic 2021 Review
From 71 0 epic world cup to 69 5 current epic to 67 5 2021 epic.
New specialized epic 2021 review. The feeling is barely notable from a static fit especially with the longer top tube but on the trails the new epic has a more energetic side not just aim and pedal. This latest 2021 model receives a whole new frame and a revised brain as well as. For 2021 the specialized epic has been overhauled once again dating all the way back to 2002 the specialized epic is a cross country full suspension bike that pedals like a hardtail. 2021 specialized epic and epic evo models the epic range has four bikes priced from 3 999 to 10 499 for the top spec s works version.
These changes aim to create an epic that is more capable and comfortable on the trails than the brain version. The all new 2021 epic boasts a complete rethink on the bikes geometry as well as changes to the brain system to improve reliability and lengthening service intervals. Where the previous epic evo was a straightforward specification change the new epic now has its own rear triangle suspension layout and no brain. The new specialized epic evo has been given its own unique identity in the epic range.
The most important update for me is the slacker headtube angle specialized has been slacking the head tube on each epic. Things confirmed for 2021 s works epic new head tube angle rockshox sl brain fork new control sl wheels more plush and sensitive brain and this isn t confirmed but with the new epic ht being the lightest ht ever i expect specialized to be more competitive with the weight for the fs so expect the frame to weight in supercaliber territory or even better spark territory. Discuss light weight issues concerning mountain bikes parts. The epic has been in specialized s line up for nearly 20 years with its usp being its brain suspension system.
It has been just three years since the launch of the previous epic but specialized s engineers have not been idle. Jagwire elite link cable review.
