THINK FASTEST: The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world on smooth to moderately technical courses, thanks to its unrivalled combination of efficiency, control, and lightweight design. As World Champion Christopher Blevins puts it, “This bike gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension.” What made this speed machine possible? A fully integrated development process, a groundbreaking new shock, and four decades of off-road racing expertise.

FRAME OF REFERENCE: To maximise speed with flawless power transfer and precise handling, our engineering team set new benchmarks in torsional rigidity and bottom bracket stiffness. Achieving this required an integrated approach that blended a superior double diamond frame layout with a shock cradled inside the top tube, all wrapped in the most advanced composite layup in Specialized history. The result? A frame that’s incredibly efficient, responsive, and lightweight.

SHOCKINGLY FAST: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team revolutionised XC bike suspension with the Epic World Cup’s new shock technology. By co-developing the SID Deluxe WCID shock with RockShox, we’ve created a system that delivers the snappy response of a hardtail combined with the control and forgiveness of full suspension. The shock uses independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to provide the perfect balance of efficiency and terrain-traversing ability. Riders can easily personalise their setup, adjusting from firm for hardtail-like performance to open for full suspension support—and everything in between.

PUNCHING ABOVE ITS CATEGORY: With just 75mm of rear travel, the Epic World Cup performs like bikes with much longer travel. Designed to be ridden at or near topped-out, it delivers the same positive travel as a 100mm bike set up with 25% sag. To further optimise suspension performance, the Ride Dynamics team tuned the spring rate to stay relatively flat through the mid-stroke, handling bump forces with the smoothness of a longer-travel bike. The custom Mega Jounce Bumper, an industry first, plays a key role in preventing bottom-out on big hits, providing smooth travel even on the toughest terrain.

HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? SORT OF: While the new SID Deluxe WCID shock blends support and compliance in the rear, the BRAIN technology remains in the fork. With Position-Sensitive technology, the fork allows 15mm of sag for a balanced ride—offering small bump compliance while maintaining a firm pedalling platform. No need for remote lockouts or flipping levers; just ride and let the bike do the rest.

THE WEIGHT IS OVER: At just 1,915 grams (painted, with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup edges out the competition, offering faster acceleration, more efficient climbing, and superior handling. Achieving this featherweight with incredible stiffness was made possible by applying the lessons learned from developing the Aethos—the lightest production road frame ever. The advanced composite layups and tube shapes ensure both lightness and rigidity, delivering a bike that performs as well as it weighs.

THE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX: The Epic World Cup is equipped with the full suite of Roval Control SL components: a 1,240-gram wheelset, a 180-gram seatpost, and a 250-gram integrated cockpit (70mm x 780mm). Each part delivers the perfect balance of lightweight construction, stiffness, and control—qualities that are essential for tackling today’s World Cup courses.

The Epic World Cup frame features Ride Dynamics-developed suspension technology with 75mm of optimised rear wheel travel. This innovative suspension system provides unmatched pedal efficiency and is built to handle even the roughest descents—no lockout switches required.

An all-new SRAM XO transmission ensures precise, robust shifting performance that meets the brutal demands of modern XC racing.

The SID SL BRAIN fork provides 110mm of bump-muting performance while responding intelligently to inputs from the terrain or the rider, optimising efficiency and control for every ride.

Finally, the Roval Control carbon wheels—hand-built for World Cup-level performance—feature a 29mm internal-width hookless rim. This design maximises strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping the weight incredibly low, ensuring the bike is ready to handle anything the toughest courses can throw at it.

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.
