Introducing the Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp, a game-changer in XC mountain bikes. Experience comfort, agility, and lightness in one bike. Built with top-notch components like RockShox SID SL fork and SRAM Transmission groupset. Unleash your biking potential with this innovative masterpiece.

Introducing the Epic Hardtail Comp by Specialized, a revolution in the realm of hardtail XC race bikes. This bike is adeptly designed to shake off the stereotypical discomfort and twitchiness of traditional hardtail bikes. Experience an unreal blend of comfort, versatility and capability with a weight that makes it feel almost intangible, leaving you eagerly waiting for your next ride.

The Epic Hardtail Comp is more than just a lightweight bike. While we've made every effort to create one of the lightest production hardtail frames on the market, our priorities have remained firmly rooted in engineering a bike that's categorically adept and comfortable. To this end, the Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp is built with aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry, extra tyre clearance, and meticulously constructed for vertical compliance. All these features work in harmony to provide a fundamentally fast and exhilarating ride.

This remarkable hardtail is equipped with the long-admired SID SL fork from RockShox, masterfully handling suspension duties. Paired with the full SRAM Transmission groupset, this bike unambiguously represents the gold standard of accessible performance.

  • A blend of capability, light weight, and high comfort levels, the Epic Hardtail features a FACT 11m carbon frame that provides a groundbreaking performance while still being dropper-post friendly.
  • The SID SL handles travel impeccably thanks to the RockShox's Rush RL damper, while Debon Air adjustability allows for effortless dialling in of suspension performance.

Choose the Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp for an unparalleled biking experience that redefines the rules of hardtail design.

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.
