Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp – The race hardtail that rewrites the rules

Forget stiff, uncomfortable and fatiguing XC hardtails. The Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp takes speed to a new level, combining extreme lightness, surprising comfort and total control on the most technical trails.

The FACT carbon frame, engineered to be one of the lightest in the hardtail category, has been developed to offer outstanding vertical compliance: fewer vibrations, more traction, and fresher legs when it really counts. The aggressive trail-inspired geometry, generous tire clearance and setup designed for modern XC racing ensure stability on descents, precision in corners and maximum efficiency on climbs.

Up front, the RockShox SID SL fork – an icon in competition – smooths out bumps and roots with the sensitivity and support of a true race bike. The SRAM Transmission drivetrain completes the package with precise, instantaneous and reliable shifting, kilometer after kilometer.

If you’re looking for a race hardtail capable of dominating marathons, XCO and intense training sessions, the Specialized Epic Hardtail Comp is the choice for those who want only one thing: to be fast, always, everywhere.
