2016 S-WORKS EPIC 29 WORLD CUP

Das S-Works Epic 29 World Cup holt das letzte Quäntchen raus: Hauptrahmen und Hinterbau aus FACT 11m Karbon mit 95mm Federweg ergeben ein schnelles, effizientes XC- und Marathonbike mit herausragenden Handling-Eigenschaften. "World Cup" bedeutet eine noch direktere XC-Geometrie und 1x11 Antrieb für superschnelle Schaltvorgänge. Der Specialized/FOX Brain-Dämpfer und die custom RockShox RS1 Brain Federgabel sorgen für hohe Kontrolle auf anspruchsvollen XC-Strecken. Der SRAM XX1 1x11 Antrieb lässt sich schnell und einfach schalten, das Gewicht bleibt maximal niedrig. 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. Das Epic World Cup in einem Satz: Schneller kannst du auf XC Strecken und Marathons nicht sein!

• 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 World Cup XC 29 Geometry, 95mm of travel, internal cable routing, and a SWAT Tool Cradle create exceptional handling and zero-hassle maintenance.

• The one-by drivetrain is controlled by SRAM's venerable XX1 components, while braking duties are handled by a Shimano XTR carbon lever. Combined, the system forms the ultimate in efficiency and intuitive feel, while also having the added benefit of significant weight savings and minimal required maintenance.

• Custom FOX/ Specialized remote Mini Brain rear shock features AUTOSAG for easy set up, 95mm 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.

• 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.
