Not exactly smashing it but, to be fair, that's probably a bit more Enduro than most of us get on our 160mm travel bikes.

How do you make an epic more epic? Put more cocaine in the seat tube.

All fairness and credit to the rider..... great riding!

"the best carbon layup in the business" Has this been independently tested and verified?

That was stiff. People who buy an s-works epic wont buy one on this vid. They wear Lycra and love big missions nothing wrong with it but the people who want this type of riding will buy a stumpy or an Enduro. Again not a dig at xc weapons, have to admire what they do but this isn't it and trying to make it look like it is doesn't work.

I'm a big spesh fan but this bike is ridiculous what with "now the best carbon layup in the business" even though it's exactly the same carbon frame as the expert and 11500 usd price tag with kmc chain. Just an atrocious price. On a side note my stumpjumper expert will be here tomorrow and I've never been so excited for a bike.

js11 (Mar 2, 2019 at 11:32)

so basically an extra short camber with none of the fun geo? i rode one and its still definitely just an epic.

Definitely! Just more versatile Epic for hobby racers.

Went to Mike's bikes ( local Specialized dealer close to me), to look at the new EVOs, but couldn't stand the 4 different salesman hovering around pestering me, "Are doing alright?" " Got any questions?" Still doing alright?" "Finding every thing alright?" "What kind of bike are you looking for?" Leave me alone!! High pressure sales turns people off!

Most likely, but for someone buying entry level they might genuinelly have no idea and need help.

@zyoungson: true, but when you have to say, " Nope just looking " 4 times in less 4 minutes...

@supernaut69: Please give your manager some feedback! High pressure sales are a super turn off. I understand it's coming from the top, not the bottom.

Also you don't have any EVOs ( Stumpjumper or Epics ) in your Los Gatos location??

I like to ride it rough, and i need a little more in the rear than what this thing is offering. Still pretty slick looking steed, would ride.

AspidMan (Mar 2, 2019 at 15:49)

Same thing. It may be very infectious riding bike with so little travel but just hearing the noises of that suffering shock I would like some reserve to not blow thru travel all the time.

Modern superlight bikes pay grade is so much higher but I don't want to put that money into service. 140/120 is much more all round.
