For over 20 years, Epics have rocketed more racers to the top of the podium than any other full suspension XC bikes. When elite racers and die-hard riders across the globe think about the Epic family, they see a commitment to speed and innovation that is deserving of that legacy. In continuing with that commitment, we are thrilled to introduce you to the all-new Epic World Cup.

The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world on smooth to moderately technical courses thanks to its unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and light-weight.

Maximum Efficiency

An absurdly light 1,765-gram frame, unmatched BB and torsional rigidity, and radical shock technology deliver category leading efficiency. Thanks to a unique and independently adjustable positive and negative air springs the Specialized conceived WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) shock gives the Epic World Cup hardtail “snap" AND terrain-devouring capability—plus the ability to personalize set-up to course conditions and riding style for optimal control.

Punching above its category.

The Epic World Cup’s 75mm of rear travel delivers the control and capability of a much longer travel bike. Because it’s designed to be ridden at or close to topped-out, it yields the same positive travel as a 100mm travel bike set up with 25% sag. To further optimize suspension performance, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team tuned the spring-rate to be relatively flat through the mid-stroke to handle the majority of bump forces like a longer travel bike. Due to its large size, the custom Mega Jounce Bumper is an “industry first” and plays a crucial role in smoothly managing bottom-out on the biggest impacts. Compared to a hardtail or lesser suspension bikes, the Epic World Cup keeps your tires on the ground a greater percentage of the time, directly translating to more control.

Seriously lightweight.

With a frame weight of just 1,765 grams (painted with shock and all hardware), the Epic World Cup edges out the lightest of competitors. This translates to faster acceleration, more efficient climbing and more agile handling: all of that adds up to speed We achieved the featherweight and monster stiffness of the Epic WC by applying what we learned in the development of our Aethos, the lightest production road frame ever made, specifically the advanced composite layup and tube shapes.
