The Epic HT CARBON 2020 size 'M' does weigh 11,3 kg. It is not a featherweight, despite the 920g frame. Otherwise, its extremely comfortable (for an XC race machine), very compliant, fast steering and still stable in straights and curves. Excellent climber; the power all gets to the rear end. Very well finished and components all useable and reliable, if not the lightest. Obvious first upgrade would be a lighter fork. Nothing to complain about. I am 170cm and have adequate top tube clearance on a size 'M'; geometry is a perfect fit. Max dropper tube is 125mm for me.

Great Bike, fast, awesome power climbing and good driving. Unic problems in grips, and i change for Ergonomic models.

This bike does NOT weigh 18lbs, as a previous reviewer wrote. While I did not expect it to be that low, I purchased based off the review since no LBS will stock the Epic HT as they say they sit. I had them order a Small as I am a 5'3, 115lb female rider. . It is a nice bike. But was very disappointed to learn that it weighs in at 24.6 lbs. I think my full suspension is less than that.

My hight is 165cm, inseam 70cm, what size frame prefer for MTB specialized epic carbon hard tail

I traded my trek x caliber for this 2019 epic comp and the difference is amazing! Everything about this bike is great. It's light,fast,shifts great, descends good for a hardtail,good brakes. Good bike for xc racing. I advise going tubeless which is easy to do because tires and rims are tubeless ready.
