2016 S-WORKS EPIC 29

Das S-Works Epic 29 ist ein Siegerbike der Extraklasse. Hauptrahmen und Hinterbau aus FACT 11m Karbon mit 100mm Federweg ergeben ein schnelles, effizientes XC- und Marathonbike mit herausragenden Handling-Eigenschaften. Der Specialized/FOX Brain-Dämpfer und die custom RockShox RS1 Brain Federgabel sorgen für hohe Kontrolle auf anspruchsvollen XC-Strecken. Der 2x11 Antrieb mit Shimanos revolutionärer XTR Di2 Schaltung setzt neue Maßstäbe bei Schaltgeschwindigkeit, Bedienung und Anpassbarkeit. Shimanos hydraulische XTR Scheibenbremsen stehen für optimale Funktion und hohe Zuverlässigkeit. Die superleichten Roval Control SL Laufräder beschleunigen rasant, verkraften aber selbst harte XC-Strecken. Die SWAT-Integration eines Mini-Tools im Oberrohr ist ein äußerst cleveres Feature. Ob Marathon, XC Race oder XC Tour: Schneller und effizienter als mit einem S-Works Epic kannst du nicht biken!

• Drivetrain duties are handled by the revolutionary Shimano XTR Di2 11-speed groupset, with 36/26T gearing up front and 11-40t at the rear. The first ever electronic mountain groupset, it provides unparalleled shift precision, reliability, and accuracy, making it the secret weapon in any racer's arsenal.

• Custom FOX/ Specialized remote Mini Brain rear shock features AUTOSAG for easy set up, 100mm of fine-tunable suspension, and our Spike Valve technology for enhanced performance in the corners and rough terrain. To maximize efficiency, the proprietary design allows the shock to differentiate rider input and trail bumps, so the suspension feels firm under effort and plush over rough terrain.

• FACT 11m carbon fiber frame provides the ideal blend of stiffness, strength, and light weight, resulting in the pinnacle of efficiency and speed. Meanwhile, our XC 29 Geometry, 100mm of travel, internal cable routing, and a SWAT Tool Cradle create exceptional handling and zero-hassle maintenance.

• RockShox RS-1 Brain fork is arguably the most sought-after fork in XC racing. Compared to a traditional fork, its inverted design creates a carbon fiber upper that provides superior stiffness, while behaving with more sensitivity to small bumps and more control over larger hits. And with Brain technology, these characteristics are amplified and even more efficient. It also includes our Spike Valve technology that minimizes yaw in cornering, while providing maximum travel in high velocity impacts.

• Roval Control SL 29 carbon fiber wheels are lightweight for climbs, hand-built for precision and durability, stiff for explosive sprints and nimble handling, and most importantly, exceptionally fast for hard, sustained efforts come race day.
