World Champ Christopher Blevins said it best, “This thing gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension.” All it took to create this speed machine was a totally integrated development approach, inventing a radical new shock, and four decades of off-road winning experience.\nFRAME OF REFERENCE:  To deliver maximum speed through ruthlessly efficient power transfer and precision handling, our engineering team set and achieved new standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness. This feat required an integrated development approach that merged a structurally superior double diamond layout with its shock cradled inside the top-tube, and finished off with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history.\nSHOCKINGLY FAST:  The Specialized Ride Dynamics team conceived of and invented a revolutionary shock technology for the Epic World Cup that gives the rider the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail PLUS the control, capability, and momentum-carrying of full suspension—all with a simple setup. Co-developed with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock utilizes a unique independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to deliver the sought-after hardtail “snap”, combined with terrain-devouring forgiveness, and the ability to easily personalize set-up for a specific course or tune for rider preference and feel. Set it firm and it rides like a hardtail or open it up and you have a chunk-squashing ripper. But you aren't just limited “open and closed,” the simple nature of its setup allows the rider to set on a spectrum of firm to soft.\nPUNCHING ABOVE ITS CATEGORY:  The Epic World Cup’s 75mm of rear travel delivers 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.\nHAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? The groundbreaking SIDLuxe WCID shock provides a unique blend of support and compliance in the rear, while the RockShox SID SL with 3-Position Race Day 2 damper borrows the all-new Epic 8s “Magic Middle” tune, providing support under pedaling and 110mm of bump-muting, active suspension in the rough to provide ultimate efficiency.\nTHE WEIGHT IS OVER:  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 efficiently climbing, and more agile handling. And 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.\nTHE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX:  The Epic World Cup sports the full suite of Roval Control SL components: 1,240-gram wheelset and 250-gram integrated cockpit (70mm x 780mm). Each boasting peerless light-weight, stiffness, and control on the World Cup today.\nCreated specifically to match the increased capabilities of the Epic World Cup, the Roval Control SL rim introduces a completely new offset rim profile that features a 29mm internal width that not only increases strength and reduces weight, but also improves pinch-flat resistance by 22-percent.\nSRAM XX SL transmission builds on what top riders need in shifting performance and robustness, making it perfectly matched for the brutal demands of off-road racing.\nA RockShox SID SL ULTIMATE Flight Attendant provides 110mm of active suspension to provide ultimate efficiency\nObscenely light 998 grams Roval World Cup wheels provide durability and superb ride quality.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"specialized","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto \/ S","offer_id":61810613420402,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto-S","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto \/ M","offer_id":61810613453170,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto-M","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto \/ L","offer_id":61810613485938,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto-L","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto \/ XL","offer_id":61810613518706,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Oasis Multi Impasto-XL","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/0664\/0754\/files\/0e2a97bac848702e03694d579d91e87c.webp?v=1777348492"},{"product_id":"epic-world-cup-expert-sram-gx-axs-rockshox-select-specialized-epic-world-cup-expert-sram-gx-axs-rockshox-select","title":"Epic World Cup Expert  - SRAM GX AXS, RockShox Select+","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eTHINK FASTEST:  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.

You’ll be blown away by how Epic 8’s progressive geometry delivers technical terrain capability alongside fast and efficient climbing and acceleration performance. The absurd lateral and torsional rigidity of the chassis translates to some seriously precision handling, too.\nWHAT BUMP?: Compared to the previous generation, the new Epic 8 absorbs 12% more bump and vibration forces than the previous generation, leaving you less fatigued and more powerful over time so you can still push while they suffer.\nRIDE DYNAMICS TUNED: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team developed custom valving for Epic 8’s new shock. Our unique Ride Dynamics-prescribed damping characteristics holistically elevate the riding experience. By tuning the dampers alongside the chassis’ leverage rates and new kinematics, we’re able to deliver a bike that rides beyond the sum of its parts.\nBIOMECHANICAL EFFICIENCY: By optimizing the kinematics of the suspension, Specialized’s Ride Dynamics team reduced inefficient pedal-induced bobbing by 20%, while maintaining active suspension for effective bump force management, to ensure you remain in the most efficient pedaling position. It’s the most efficient pedaling suspension bike we’ve ever tested.\nMORE WITH LESS: With the Epic 8, we didn’t spend a single extra gram to get mega capability from the frame. All models now feature SWAT 4.0 to carry all your trail essentials, and an integrated steering stop to prevent the ubiquitous top tube scar the first time you crash and your bars spin. In fact, the new S-Works Epic 8 frameset has even lost weight (76 grams to be exact) while gaining these new additions.\nROCKSHOX FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Free your mind to focus on fast in the heat of the moment. Specialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant (on S-Works models) leverages SRAM AXS Wireless technology to collect real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings to deliver an unmatched experience for the rider.\nThe most capable 120mm bike on the planet. 12% more bump absorption and 20% less pedal bob\nRide Dynamics developed RockShox SIDLuxe ULTIMATE shock and tuned SID ULTIMATE fork w\/ Flight Attendant\nCustom tuned shock features 3 unique damper settings\nSpecialized Ride Dynamics-Tuned RockShox Flight Attendant collects real-time data from you and the terrain to determine optimal compression settings.\nObscenely light 998 grams Roval World Cup wheels provide durability and superb ride quality\nSleek and lightweight Roval Control SL integrated cockpit\nTop tier SRAM Motive Ultimate 4-Piston brakes provide superior power\nSRAM XX SL T-Type AXS Transmission provides the pinnacle of cross-country shifting performance\nSWAT 4.0 in down tube to carry trail essentials\nCompatible with electronic drivetrains only\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"specialized","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl \/ S","offer_id":61810625839474,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl-S","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl \/ M","offer_id":61810625872242,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl-M","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl \/ L","offer_id":61810625905010,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl-L","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl \/ XL","offer_id":61810625937778,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Cyan Blue Pearl-XL","price":41.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ S","offer_id":61810625970546,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-S","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ M","offer_id":61810626003314,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-M","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ L","offer_id":61810626036082,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-L","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ XL","offer_id":61810626068850,"sku":"S-Works Epic 8  - SRAM XX SL AXS, RockShox Ultimate Flight Attendant-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-XL","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/0664\/0754\/files\/aa32a576c153ce379ce6fa89d984fd95.webp?v=1777348553"},{"product_id":"epic-8-expert-shimano-xt-di2-rockshox-select-specialized-epic-8-expert-shimano-xt-di2-rockshox-select","title":"Epic 8 Expert  - Shimano XT Di2, RockShox Select+","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eEvolution of the Fastest\nEfficient, Capable, Light\nThe all-new Epic 8 evolves the formula of fastest through capability, efficiency, and lightweight integration.

This feat required an integrated development approach that merged a structurally superior double diamond layout with its shock cradled inside the top-tube, and finished off with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history.\nSHOCKINGLY FAST:  The Specialized Ride Dynamics team conceived of and invented a revolutionary shock technology for the Epic World Cup that gives the rider the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail PLUS the control, capability, and momentum-carrying of full suspension—all with a simple setup. Co-developed with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock utilizes a unique independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to deliver the sought-after hardtail “snap”, combined with terrain-devouring forgiveness, and the ability to easily personalize set-up for a specific course or tune for rider preference and feel. Set it firm and it rides like a hardtail or open it up and you have a chunk-squashing ripper. But you aren't just limited “open and closed,” the simple nature of its setup allows the rider to set on a spectrum of firm to soft.\nPUNCHING ABOVE ITS CATEGORY:  The Epic World Cup’s 75mm of rear travel delivers 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.\nHAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? The groundbreaking SIDLuxe WCID shock provides a unique blend of support and compliance in the rear.\nTHE WEIGHT IS OVER:  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 efficiently climbing, and more agile handling. And 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.\nTHE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX:  The Epic World Cup Frame sports the 180-gram Roval Control SL seat post, boasting peerless light-weight, stiffness, and control on the World Cup today.\nThe all-new Epic World Cup frame features Ride Dynamics Developed suspension technology and 75mm of optimized rear wheel travel.
