Specialized Epic Comp Carbon Womens Mountain Bike 2018 Stockists

No matter how you look at it XC racing is hard. The punchy accelerations rowdy rock gardens and quad searing ascents aren't for the faint of heart. With this in mind we designed the new Women's Epic Comp Carbon to make racing a bit more manageable and to take your results to the next level.Race courses have evolved over the past few years. They’re more technical steeper and simply more challenging to ride. But instead of quivering in our boots we saw this as an opportunity to make something special—something that both World Cup athletes and XC riders alike can instantly feel the benefit from. We looked at the sum of parts that make a bike handle well like the head angle reach stack chainstay length fork offset etc. and re-evaluated all of it. Increasing the reach made a bike that was more stable at speed and generally more comfortable to ride. Dropper posts? Yep those fit and not just a short-travel XC option but full-length droppers that fit in the 30.9mm seat tube. Head angle? We slacked that out but not without evaluating the overall handling package. It now lands on a custom offset 42mm fork that works with the slacker head angle in order to behave itself in tight corners and through switchbacks.Next comes the redesigned Brain technology Brain 2.0. The Brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension both its inefficiencies and benefits alike. And oh was it good. It won races and put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation and suspension development but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that by moving the Brain closer to the rear axle it would be in the most sensitive spot. And after countless hours with the RockShox team the new Brain became more than just a slight upgrade. It's totally new. Now it reacts seamlessly to bump forces it has much more consistent damping performance and finally it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This in turn improves oil paths and it creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market.The Women's Epic also gets a serious upgrade in the stiffness department. The Rider-First Engineered™ tubes place complex carbon pieces in all the right places which greatly increases stiffness in the front end for a vast improvement in ride quality and control. To go along with this each frame size has size-specific tubes that result in the stiffest best riding XC bike we've ever developed—no matter the frame size.And while stiffness Brain technology and geometry features are cool and all we know what you’re thinking ""What about the weight?” We’re glad you asked. With the goal of the new Epic to be the fastest XC mountain bike we’ve ever made weight was at the top of our priorities list. We started with an efficient frame layout and tube shapes that feature clean cable routing integrated channels through the shock extension straight tubes with less curves and optimized torsion profiles in every section. And if you’re curious this weight savings is equivalent to shedding a chainstay and shock extension from the previous Epic—nearly 525 grams.The build of the Women's Epic Comp Carbon is value-packed featuring an 1x11 SRAM GX groupset a rear RockShox Brain shock at the rear that's custom-tuned for women SRAM Level TL brakes and a Roval Control alloy wheelset. Every touch point has also been hand-selected for female riders as well from the Sip Grips to the bar width and crankarm length all the way down to the superlative Women's Myth Sport saddle. Full fact 11m carbon fibre frame combines stiffness strength and light overall weight to deliver an off-the-hook race bike. Meanwhile the new geometry RockShox Brain shock and 100mm of travel make the Epic the best handling fastest XC rig you've been on. A RockShox Reba RL fork soaks up the bumps up front and features both compression and rebound adjustments. An 11-speed SRAM GX groupset handles shifting duties bringing the convenience of one-by to your XC rig.FRAMESpecialized FACT 11m full carbon frame XC Geometry threaded BB 12x148mm rear spacing internal cable routing 100mm of travelFORKRockShox Reba RL 29 Solo Air compression / rebound adjust tapered alloy steerer 42mm offset 110x15mm Maxle® Stealth thru-axle 100mm of travel RX Women's TuneREAR SHOCKRockShox Brain Women's Rx Tune AUTOSAG 51x257mmFRONT HUBSpecialized disc sealed cartridge bearing 15x110mm spacing torque caps 32hREAR HUBSpecialized disc sealed cartridge bearings 12x148mm spacing 32hSPOKESDT Swiss Industry stainless 3-cross 2.0"RIMSRoval Control 29 hookless alloy 22mm internal width tubeless-readyINNER TUBESStandard Presta valveFRONT TYREFast Trak GRIPTON compound 29x2.3" 60 TPI Aramid folding bead 2Bliss ReadyREAR TYREFast Trak GRIPTON compound 29x2.1" 60 TPI Aramid folding bead 2Bliss ReadyCRANKSETRace Face Aeffect 6000 Series alloyCHAINRINGSSteel 28TBOTTOM BRACKETRace Face PF30SHIFT LEVERSSRAM GX trigger 11-speedREAR DERAILLEURSRAM GX long cage 11-speedCASSETTESRAM XG 1150 11-speed 10-42tCHAINKMC X11 11-speed w/ Missing Link™FRONT BRAKESRAM Level TL hydraulic disc organic pads 160/180mm rotorREAR BRAKESRAM Level TL hydraulic disc organic pads 160 rotorHANDLEBARSSpecialized Mini-rise 6000 alloy 8-degree backsweep 6-degree upsweep 10mm rise 720mm width 31.8mm clampGRIPSSpecialized Sip Grip half waffleSTEMSpecialized XC 3D-forged alloy 4-bolt 6-degree riseSADDLEMyth Sport steel rails 155mmSEATPOSTSpecialized alloy single bolt 30.9mmSEAT BINDERAlloy 34.9mmPEDALSSpecialized Platform 9/16" spindle
