Ride the fastest XC race bike in the world, the Specialized Epic World Cup Mountain Bike. With unmatched efficiency, control, and lightweight design, this bike is perfect for smooth to moderately technical courses. Built with innovative shock technology for the best of both hardtail and full suspension worlds. Packed with features like Ride Dynamics Developed suspension, SRAM XX SL transmission, and Roval Control SL components for top performance.

The S-Works Epic World Cup bicycle, by renowned brand Specialized, leads the pack when it comes to superior speed, efficiency, and lightweight design. This model is adored by champions, such as Christopher Blevins, for its hybrid abilities to deliver the snappiness of a hardtail bike whilst retaining the control and capability of a full suspension model. It's the outcome of comprehensive development and decades of off-road experience.

This bicycle boasts exceptional torsional rigidity and BB stiffness for efficient power transfer and precise handling. It features a superior double diamond layout and a cradle shock within the top-tube. The finishing touch? The most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized's history.

With innovative shock technology and simple setup, the Epic World Cup offers the unique blend of a hardtail and full-suspension model in one bike. Experience the sought-after hardtail 'snap', combined with terrain-devouring forgiveness. The suspension setup allows riders to set a spectrum from firm to soft, adapting to various courses or individual riding preferences.

Don't let its 75mm of rear travel fool you. The Epic World Cup handles like a much longer travel bike, yielding the same positive travel as a 100mm travel bike set up with 25% sag. Its custom Mega Jounce Bumper efficiently handles bottom-out on the biggest impacts, ensuring a smooth ride.

Despite its revolutionary rear shock, the BRAIN is still active in the fork. Its Position-Sensitive technology allows for a balanced ride, a supple response to small bumps and a firm pedalling platform without the need for any lockouts or levers.

Lightweight yet incredibly stiff, the Epic World Cup offers rapid acceleration, efficient climbing, and agile handling, all designed to maximize speed with a frame weight of just 1,765 grams. The Roval Control SL components further improve the lightweight and stiff characteristics, delivering unmatched control.

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees

Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.

With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.

The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.

Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.

Experience the freedom of cycling, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint with the Cycle to Work Scheme. Join countless UK employees who have already embraced this eco-friendly and wallet-friendly way of commuting.
