You no longer have to ensure a punishing ride on a hardtail race bike, only to feel the aftermatch for days after. Now, with the Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp Mountain Bike, you'll find yourself eagerly anticipating your next ride thanks to its transformative blend of comfort and capability packed into an astonishingly lightweight frame.
For years, the pursuit of the lightest bike has been a relentless race within the race. Yet, this relentless pursuit often came at a cost as hardtail XC race bikes were synonymous with a harsh, unforgiving ride that sacrificed versatility and comfort for weight savings.
However, no one said that battling against your bike's harsh ride would make you faster. Specialized have challenged this notion by reimagining the hardtail experience. Out with the bone-jarring rides and in with a new era of hardtails that are remarkably capable, incredibly comfortable, astonishingly light, and undeniably fast. Enter the Epic Hardtail.
While Specialized have meticulously engineered every aspect of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the title of the world's lightest production hardtail frame, they've also prioritised creating a bike that excels in both capability and comfort. With aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, enhanced tyre clearance, and a frame engineered for vertical compliance, the Epic Hardtail embodies the essence of speed while ensuring a comfortable ride.
Equipped with RockShox's renowned SID SL fork for suspension duties and a full SRAM GX Eagle groupset known for its accessible performance, the Epic Hardtail Comp leaves no doubt as to why it sets the standard for high-performance hardtails.
With its dropper-post friendly FACT 11m carbon frame, the Epic Hardtail redefines what's possible for hardtail mountain bikes, delivering an unparalleled riding experience that's both exhilarating and comfortable. The SID SL fork, featuring RockShox's Rush RL damper and Debon Air adjustability, ensures smooth travel and easy suspension tuning. Plus, with SRAM's GX Eagle shifting, you can expect reliable and high-performance gear changes that elevate your ride to new heights.
