Snapped 5 frames in 1 season. First carbon bike I’ve owned. None of the breaks where crash related.Wish they had an alloy version. Never had an alloy fail. Their warranty is top notch tho haven’t paid a cent for a new frame. Just lots of down time, which is unfortunate. But they upgraded my frame to the s-works frame. See how it handles this season. lol

I took a leap of faith, ordered it to be sent right to me from Specialized and it was the easiest thing in the world to assemble. Assembly consisted of installing the already inflated wheels/tires and putting the handlebars on. Everything was calibrated and aligned ahead of time. It was literally better than buying right from a dealer. The bike performs similar to the Epic in that it's fully rigid when pedaling on the flat (say the roadway on the way to the trails), then opens up in time to absorb the big bumps just like the Epic brain system. It's a little nosier than the Epic (you will hear the sensors in the shocks as they transition environments), but it does more too. It's electronically adjustable via your phone, and it calibrates and dials everything in to your specific weight and riding style. Is it worth it...yes. It's a different level of riding that's likely the signal for what's likely to become the standard of most high end full suspension bikes in the near future.

The automated real time suspension tuning is beyond words really. The best I could come close with is how a magic carpet might feel. It truly does smooth out every wrinkle in the trail you'll encounter. It's the smoothest ride imaginable. You have to experience it to know for yourself. Pay once... cry once. NO BUYERS REMORSE HERE!

The best Enduro bike ever.

Amazing quality both in material quality & perfection in the assembly. This bike is expensive but everything about it is quality. Flight Attendant is worth it and a serious game changer making this bike’s capabilities widely expanded. This level of bike has aerospace quality parts everywhere, nothing is over looked. Having owned S-WORKS Epics I can say the bikes are extremely durable, reliable and rugged. They are built to last, built to perform. The component spec is dialed, nothing needs replacing, everything really is top spec and correct Specialized Rider care will take care of any small questions or issues, they are riders/enthusiasts and understand everything rider focused.
