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.\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. Thanks to its shock technology, Epic World Cup delivers unmatched pedal efficiency and is ready for the roughest descents you can throw at it–no lockout switches required.\nAn all-new Control SL seatpost is amongst the lightest off road seatpost in market, further shaving grams to get riders up the climbs as effortlessly as possible.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"specialized","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ XS","offer_id":61810647400818,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup Frameset  - RockShox SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-XS","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ S","offer_id":61810647433586,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup Frameset  - RockShox SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-S","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ M","offer_id":61810647466354,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup Frameset  - RockShox SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-M","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ L","offer_id":61810647499122,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup Frameset  - RockShox SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-L","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Fiery Red Impasto \/ XL","offer_id":61810647531890,"sku":"S-Works Epic World Cup Frameset  - RockShox SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate-Gloss Fiery Red Impasto-XL","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/0664\/0754\/files\/dacd52ea9d37eac384cc750a80ac4140.webp?v=1777348623","url":"https:\/\/specializedusonline.com\/products\/s-works-epic-world-cup-frameset-rockshox-sidluxe-wcid-ultimate-specialized-s-works-epic-world-cup-frameset-rockshox-sidluxe-wcid-ultimate","provider":"specializedusonline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
