Unleash Speed: The Fastest XC Race Bike
The Epic World Cup is engineered for unmatched speed on smooth to moderately technical courses, combining efficiency, control, and lightweight design. As World Champion Christopher Blevins puts it, “This bike gives me everything I want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension.” With four decades of off-road expertise, a radical new shock, and an integrated development approach, this machine is built to dominate.
Precision Engineered for Maximum Performance
Every detail of the Epic World Cup frame is crafted for speed and precision. Featuring a structurally optimized double-diamond layout with a shock cradled inside the top tube, this design maximizes torsional rigidity and bottom bracket stiffness. The result? Unrivaled power transfer and razor-sharp handling, achieved with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history.
Revolutionary Shock Technology
Say goodbye to compromises. The co-developed SID Deluxe WCID shock delivers the efficiency and “snap” of a hardtail while offering the control and forgiveness of full suspension. Its independently adjustable air springs let you customize the setup for any course or rider preference. Whether firm or soft, the shock transforms the Epic World Cup into a terrain-crushing powerhouse.
75mm Rear Travel with Big-Bike Capability
The Epic World Cup’s 75mm rear travel delivers the control of a 100mm travel bike, thanks to its innovative suspension design. Optimized for near-top-out riding, it handles bumps with confidence while a custom Mega Jounce Bumper ensures smooth landings on big hits. The result is a bike that punches above its weight in capability.
Intelligent Suspension Front and Rear
While the SID Deluxe WCID shock provides rear support and compliance, the fork features Specialized’s BRAIN technology. Its Position-Sensitive design allows riders to enjoy supple small-bump compliance while maintaining a firm pedaling platform—no lockout levers required.
Lightweight Without Compromise
Weighing just 1,915 grams (painted, with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup is one of the lightest frames in its class. Borrowing advanced composite layup techniques from the groundbreaking Aethos road frame, this bike delivers lightning-fast acceleration, efficient climbing, and precise handling.
Key Features:
• Ride Dynamics Suspension: Optimized 75mm rear travel for unmatched efficiency and control on descents.
• SRAM GX Transmission: Built for modern XC racing with top-tier shifting performance and durability.
• SID SL BRAIN Fork: 110mm travel with intelligent bump compliance for maximum pedaling efficiency.
• Roval Control Carbon Wheels: Lightweight 29mm hookless rims deliver strength, durability, and premium ride quality.
The Epic World Cup is not just a race bike—it’s the future of XC speed. Built for champions, made for everyone who’s serious about winning.
