Gone are the days where a date with a hardtail race bike meant paying for it for days to come. Now, the Epic Hardtail Comp’s reality-altering combination of comfort and capability in a lighter-than-life package means counting down the hours until you meet again.

Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race, but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasn’t been without its casualties, with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh, twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility.

But who said fatigue from fighting against your own bike makes you any faster? Instead, recognizing that the fastest bike is more than simply the lightest bike, we said out with the jarred-to-death tail, the measure-your-posterior’s-sorrows-by-the-yard tail and in with the avant-garde tail. The ridiculously capable, mystifyingly comfortable, head-shakingly light and all-around fast, Epic Hardtail.

Sure, we optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the lightest production hardtail frame in the world anyway, but we also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail that’s as capable as it is comfortable with aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, increased tire clearance and a frame obsessively engineered for increased vertical compliance, all while creating a bike that lives and breathes the fundamentals of fast.

On the Epic Hardtail Comp, RockShox's long-beloved Reba RL fork is tasked with handling suspension duties while a full SRAM GX Egale groupset leaves no doubts why it sets the benchmark for accessible performance.

  • Ridiculously capable, incredibly light, and refreshingly comfortable, the Epic Hardtail’s dropper-post friendly FACT 11m carbon frame rewrites the hardtail playbook with game-changing success.

  • The Reba RL doles out travel with a steady hand courtesy of RockShox's Motion Control damper, while SoloAir adjustability makes dialing in suspension performance a breeze.

  • SRAM's GX Eagle shifting has always been the benchmark for affordable high performance, and the latest offering simply raises it even further.

Great frame...but that is where it ends.

I bought this mainly for the lightweight frame, the brake and gear lever combination on one side is so unergonomic with the levers so far apart and one is actually obstructed by the other. The components such as the bars and seat post are heavy and will need to be switched out. The paint is matt and scratches if you even look at it the wrong way. So I am disapointed and have swtiched almost every part, in fact I am now converting it to a dropbar with a SRAM Apex Eagle GS. Sorry Specialized.

Una pasada

La bici es una pasada , es preciosa , con un toque Racing muy chulo de specialized que no lo he conseguido ver en ninguna otra marca , la reba va genial y es mucho más cómoda que las anteriores Epic, entra genial en los obstáculos y baja súper bien. Rueda como una de carretera , un avión. Y las ruedas de 2.35 qué gozada ! De verdad es un bicicleton y con la “mística “ de specialized que ninguna otra marca tiene . Súper contento con la compra !

Schnell und leicht

Schnelles, leichtes und sehr steifes Hardtail. Die Pedalkraft wird effizient in Vortrieb umgesetzt. Das Sattelrohr bei der Grösse L leider etwas kurz. Die Bremsen waren nicht optimal eingestellt..

사이즈

생각보다 사이즈가 작은것 같아요..제 키가 168인데 S사이즈 구입했는데 M사이즈가 맞을듯합니다. 다른 부분은 만족합니다

Super schnell

Das Epic Hardtail Comp ist ein grandioses und vor allem sehr schnelles Bike - perfekt für Konditionstrainings, Bergauffahrten und Waldwege. Ich fahre das Bike bereits das 7. Jahr und es macht immer noch einen riesen Spass. Bei schnellen Abfahrten in rauem Gelände kommt die Federgabel ans Limit.

Top MTB

Ich fahre das Epic Comp HT jetzt bereits seit 2018 und bin bestens zufrieden. Im leichten Gelände (Waldautobahn) ist es immer ein guter Partner. Auch für Straßentraining im Winter ist es immer zuverlässig.
