Specialized S-Works Epic LTD model 2024

No compromise

Hey you, yes you...the one with the scales who is looking out which of the six identical tires on the shelf is the lightest. Sure, some might call you obsessed, but don't worry, the S-Works Epic LTD speaks exactly the same language here. Countless design hours, endless rounds of testing, terabytes of telemetry data—all to ensure not an ounce of speed was left on the table.

Blending hardtail efficiency and full-suspension capability for impressively fast results, the S-Works Epic LTD has always been characterized by an obsessive commitment to speed. Well, that and over 100 World Cup wins and podiums too.

A SMARTER BRAIN

True to its form, the newest Epic continues the tradition, utilizing the most efficient BRAIN suspension we've ever developed to ensure it's always fast on a first-name basis.

Revamped hand-in-hand with the new Epic, the latest BRAIN design redefines expectations for efficiency, utilizing a new race-tuned pedal platform to ensure every possible watt is translated into forward motion while minimizing momentum-busting noise Easily records and big hits alike - all smoother than ever.

FRAME CHANGER

Redesigned with a focus on efficient power transfer and better handling performance, the S-Works Epic LTD frame features a 15 percent stiffer rear triangle to take full advantage of the BRAIN's new race-tuned pedal platform. A dedicated layup plan and use of our top-of-the-line FACT 12m carbon takes the weight savings a step further than its stablemates, while the highlight comes in the form of a carbon fiber shock absorber linkage, which combined results in a weight savings of over 100 grams from the S-Works -Previous generation frames – not an easy task, mind you.

The S-Works' Position-Sensitive Brain fork pairs perfectly with the Brain shock for the most balanced suspension performance on an Epic yet, and benefits from RockShox's slim yet stiff SID SL Ultimate chassis, improving front-end stiffness and ride precision keep the grams in check.

SRAM's flagship XX Eagle AXS groupset is for you when only the best will do. She controls shifts with electronic authority, while we tasked Roval with creating an all-new Control SL rim that not only rivals Epic's newfound speed and handling performance, but also adds something of your own to the mix.
