Specialized Epic Evo - XL

$4000 CAD
2022 Specialized Epic Evo with loads of new parts and upgrades. Size XL, so rider should be over 6' tall. Bike was purchased from Woodcock Cycle in Winnipeg and was ~$7,500 before taxes and upgrades. Brakes, Shifter, Derailleur, Crank & Dropper post are all brand new (Shimano's special nuclear green/yellow grease in place). Fork has been upgraded to SID Ultimate and wheels to Giant XCR Carbon set-up. It's been an amazing bike - I can understand why the Epic 8 was basically this Epic Evo. The build quality is outstanding as well - all bearings are original. They've been checked after each season and have stayed perfectly smooth each year. The Thru axle also finds the threads instantly, which not a lot of bikes do. Fork and shock had regular and recent service. Fork damper was swapped from Race-Day, as those broke. There are a few scuffs on the frame and fork (seen in photo), but it still rides as new. Built with XT Mechanical groupset, but option to replace with SRAM GX Transmission if desired for a $5,000 sale price. Not interested in trades or low-ball offers, but happy to answer any questions. ps - sorry the tires are dirty, but there was one last great day of trails after the hose was put away last fall.

XCO Photo Epic: 2025 Val di Sole XC World Cup
It seems that at most races the riders are still taking photos as a five rider podium after the broadcast has wrapped. It would be great if Pinkbike and other media captured and shared those photos, to preserve the unique fiver rider podium for mountain biking, instead of using the production limited podium.

[UPDATED] Which XC Teams Will Get UCI World Series Team Status from Warner Bros. in 2025?
So what about Giant/Liv and Alpecin/Fenix - where you have one structure with two programs? It seems these are being treated differently in the table above. I'm guessing the two-riders who factor into the points for Alpecin-Deceunink include Puck Pieterse, but she races for Fenix-Deceunink, which is the women's side of that structure. The Giant Factory Off-Road and Liv teams appear separately on the table above - despite seemingly being the same situation as Alpecin / Fenix are. Whatever the case, it would seem ridiculous to not have the World Champ getting full team support at World Cup events, and I recall reading in past that there would be limits to what was allowed for non-top teams.

Review: 2025 Trek Top Fuel - More Capable & Adaptable Than Ever
@HumpDiesel: I am aware of that. I recall even seeing some advertising material that used their racers when they launched the bike. My point is very much that modern courses seem to require a 120 bike to be available to racers, and yet Trek's version of that bike is almost 1kg heavier than Spec, Giant, Cannondale, etc. When Neff, Amos or any other Trek Factory rider opt for this bike over the Supercaliber, they're basically choosing to carry a full bottle they can never drink from. And no one would ever do that on purpose.

Review: 2025 Trek Top Fuel - More Capable & Adaptable Than Ever
@SunsPSD: I appreciate what you're saying, but I think we're coming at this from different sides of the issue. If you're looking for a capable bike that can be run as 130/140, then this is a bike that fits that purpose and it's not that different in frame weight to many of the other options. Including what Trek themselves recently offered as the Fuel EX at 28.6 lbs!! https://www.pinkbike.com/news/trek-fuel-ex-review-trail-bike-2020.html But if you're looking for a bike that can be run at 120 and used to race XCO (as every other team is doing), this frame is a kilo heavier than other options. Not having such a bike on offer represents a massive hole in their offerings - both for their sponsored racers and the market overall. Whatever side of this we're coming from though, the parts spec still leaves a few questions - with the aggro wheels versus wimpy brakes perhaps showing that contrast the most clearly.

Review: 2025 Trek Top Fuel - More Capable & Adaptable Than Ever
I'm talking strictly about the frame weight here - not the complete bike. The frame weight is ridiculously out of line with it's competition, especially when Trek says they did everything they could to make this frame as light as possible... but it's still a pig. If their XC racers find a course is too aggressive for the Supercaliber, they need to accept a 1kg penalty to race the same type of 120/120 bike that every other team has available. Surely Trek COULD do better, as many others (including brands like Giant and Specialized, who also have lifetime warranties) have done. So why is this frame so overweight, and how is that not a major part of this review??
