Style | Looking for a bike that soars as well as it sprints? Look no further than the Epic EVO Expert. Wheels up or head down, the Epic EVO Experts masterful blending of inspired handling, capable geometry and laser-focused pedaling efficiency makes sure no rider ever has to make the decision between fast and fun. While the Epic EVO sees a seemingly modest 20-millimeter increase in suspension travel up front over its Epic stablemate and just 10-millimeters out back, we've worked overtime to make sure it has been implemented in a way that will have you saying Whoa as soon as you hit your first stretch of singletrack. Meticulously engineered to retain as much of the Epics standard-setting efficiency as possible, the EVOs new suspension kinematics work in concert with Rx XC Tune customized suspension front and rear to ensure you are able to make the absolute most out of every inch of travel on tap, while still offering increased anti-squat characteristics for improved pedalling efficiency. With plenty of practice at staying ahead of the curve, the Epic EVO now lays claim to the most capable iteration of our Progressive XC Geometry ever to grace an Epic. It is also more versatile than ever thanks to a new flip chip-equipped rear end that allows riders to adjust headtube angle and bottom bracket height to easily customize Epic EVOs handling characteristics. SRAMs high-flying GX Eagle AXS group handles shifting duties, while RockShox's SID Select+ is firmly in charge of takeoffs and landings with its capable Charger 2 RL damper. Flip It To Rip It, Tune the ride of the Epic EVOs FACT 11m carbon frame to match your preferred handling characteristics with flip-chip simplicity that allows riders to reduce the EVOs headtube angle by half a degree while lowering bottom bracket height by 10 millimetres. Suspension up front comes courtesy of RockShox's SID Select+ 120-millimetre fork, featuring their Charger 2 RL Damper with two-position compression adjustment for impressive pedaling efficiency while the DebonAir spring offers easy tuning and consistent feel throughout the entire range of travel. X-Fusions Manic dropper post offers infinitely adjustable travel via its slick shifter-stye remote lever for hassle-free operation when things get dicey. Descending from a long World Cup lineage, hand-built Roval Control Carbon wheels feature a modern 29-millimetre internal-width hookless rim, and maximize strength, ride quality, and durability while keeping weight to a minimum. |
