The Specialized Epic World Cup mountain bike is the ultimate XC race machine, delivering unmatched speed with innovative shock technology. Lightweight, efficient, and ready for any terrain. Built by the Specialized Ride Dynamics team for optimal performance.

THINK FAST: The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike on the planet, designed for smooth to moderately technical trails where speed, control, and lightweight performance are key. As World Champion Christopher Blevins puts it, "It delivers everything I want from a hardtail, with the added control and capability of full suspension." Built from four decades of off-road racing experience, an integrated development approach, and a groundbreaking new shock, the Epic World Cup is the ultimate speed machine.

FRAME OF REFERENCE: To achieve unmatched speed, power transfer, and precise handling, our engineers set new benchmarks in torsional rigidity and bottom bracket stiffness. The result is a double diamond frame layout, with a shock integrated into the top tube, and the most advanced composite layup in Specialized history—providing incredible strength and efficiency.

SHOCKINGLY FAST: Developed with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock redefines suspension technology, offering the responsiveness and efficiency of a hardtail with the control and terrain-eating performance of full suspension. This shock features independently adjustable positive and negative air springs, letting you fine-tune performance based on course conditions or rider preferences. Set it firm for hardtail-like snap, or open it up for smooth, controlled descents—tailored to your exact needs.

PUNCHING ABOVE ITS CATEGORY: With 75mm of rear travel, the Epic World Cup offers control and capability typically found in bikes with longer travel. Designed to perform near the top of its travel range, it delivers the same responsiveness as a 100mm bike with 25% sag. Specialized Ride Dynamics perfected the spring rate through the mid-stroke, handling bumps like a longer-travel bike, while the custom Mega Jounce Bumper ensures a smooth bottom-out performance on big hits—an industry first.

HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? SORT OF: While the SID Deluxe WCID shock handles rear suspension, the BRAIN fork technology continues to excel at the front. Its Position-Sensitive system allows the fork to sag 15mm, offering excellent small-bump compliance and a firm pedalling platform—without the need for remote lockouts or lever flips.

THE WEIGHT IS OVER: Weighing just 1,765 grams (painted, with shock and hardware), the Epic World Cup is one of the lightest bikes in its class. It offers rapid acceleration, superior climbing efficiency, and agile handling. This ultra-light frame benefits from the same advanced composite layup and optimised tube shapes used in the Aethos—our lightest production road frame—to achieve maximum stiffness.

THE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX: Equipped with Roval Control SL components, including a 1,240g wheelset, 180g seat post, and a 250g integrated cockpit (70mm x 780mm), the Epic World Cup is the ultimate race-ready setup. These components offer the perfect blend of lightness, stiffness, and control, ensuring unbeatable performance.

The new Epic World Cup features Ride Dynamics suspension with 75mm of rear wheel travel. Thanks to its innovative shock technology, it delivers exceptional pedal efficiency while tackling tough descents without the need for lockout switches.

The SRAM XX SL drivetrain ensures world-class shifting performance, engineered to endure the harshest demands of off-road racing.

The all-new SID SL BRAIN fork offers 110mm of bump-smoothing travel, adjusting intelligently to rider input and terrain, optimising efficiency at all times.

The Roval Control SL rim, designed specifically for the Epic World Cup, features a new offset profile with a 29mm internal width—enhancing strength, reducing weight, and improving pinch-flat resistance by 22%.

The Epic World Cup is engineered to provide everything a racer needs: ultimate efficiency, control, and performance—all in one fast, lightweight package.

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.
