Epic Comp - SRAM GX Eagle, RockShox SID SL/BRAIN

You never forget your first taste of real speed, the kind that brings an ear-to-ear grin you just can't seem to shake. From grinning to winning, the Epic Comp has you covered. The Epic has always been defined by uncompromised commitment to speed, mixing hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability to impressively quick results. With over 100 World Cup wins and podiums, the latest Epic continues this tradition by taking advantage of the most efficient BRAIN suspension ever created. Re-engineered hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design resets the expectation for efficiency. It employs a new race-tuned pedaling platform to ensure every watt possible is translated into forward motion, while soaking up momentum-killing chatter and big hits alike—all more smoothly than ever. The Epic's all-new FACT 11m carbon frame was redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and more confident handling performance. It features a 15-percent stiffer rear triangle to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedaling platform, while the revised carbon layup of the front-triangle sheds weight and sends the Epic's stiffness-to-weight ratio even higher. Offering 100 millimeters of brilliantly efficient BRAIN-controlled travel, the Epic's frame increases rear-triangle stiffness for peerless power transfer and introduces the most capable handling in an Epic yet, all while shedding weight over the previous-generation model. The SID SL fork from RockShox benefits from the SID's development on the World Cup circuit, providing a race-tested Rush RL damper with external low-speed compression, lockout and rebound adjustments. SRAM Level TL brakes offer smooth modulation for precise speed control, while Specialized alloy tubeless-ready rims feature a modern 27-millimeter internal width, allowing tires to achieve their ideal profile and footprint for optimal traction.
