At a glance
The 2017 Specialized Epic FSR Expert Carbon World Cup is an All Mountain Carbon mountain bike. It has RockShox suspension and a SRAM drivetrain. The bike is part of Specialized's Epic range of mountain bikes.Make no qualms about it—this World Cup version of the Epic FSR Expert Carbon is purpose-built for racing. Compared to the standard version of this Epic, the World Cup features shorter tube lengths and chainstays and a significantly tighter geometry. Why? For more explosive power transfer and nimbler handling, of course. Additionally, it’s specifically designed for one-by setups, which comes with the added benefit of an oversized chainstay for enhanced rigidity and power transfer to the rear end.
