2019 Specialized Epic Comp EVO 29" Mountain Bike
Specialized
has taken the tried, tested and much loved cross country racer concept
of the Epic, and added some burl to make the Epic Comp EVO 29" Mountain
Bike a truly complete trail package. The Epic was always a very, very
rapid bike, but the spec list was very definitely aimed at the lycra
clad XC racer. In its newest, EVO iteration Specialized have changed a
few crucial components to give a bike that will be more forgiving, more
comfortable and more fun than ever before.
The Epic Comp EVO 29"
Mountain Bike sticks with the durable aluminium Epic Comp frame with the
BRAIN 2.0 rear shock for 100mm of travel, but ups the ante at the front
by using the 120mm Rockshox Reba RL fork for more bounce and a slacker
angle. To complement this the Epic Comp EVO 29" gets a wider handlebar,
fatter tyres and crucially, an X-Fusion Manic dropper post. These
seemingly small changes alter the character of the bike completely and
greatly widen its usability. While it would still feel right at home on
the start line of an XC race, it is now a bike that can also rip round
the local trails and take on big mountain days without feeling out of
place.
The single front ring SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed gears provide
a huge range of ratios to keep things moving whatever the terrain,
while the SRAM Level TL hydraulic disc brakes will provide more than
enough stopping power to keep things safe on the way back down.
