Bike Hub Features Posted January 31, 2017 Share According to our classifieds search data, the Specialized Epic is the most sought after bike on Bike Hub. Perhaps due to this wide appeal, it has also become a symbol of endurance racing in South Africa, and all the connotations that come attached to the stereotype. Opinions aside, this was my first significant experience with this iconic race bike and I was intrigued to see what all the fuss is about.Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted January 31, 2017 Share ................but what is the weight of the bike??? I knew this was coming. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to get the bike near a scale. Would saying that it felt light suffice? jcza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Panda Posted January 31, 2017 Share The Epic platform is due for an upgrade, as well as con 1 - deal breaker for me at this high a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spez online police scan the entire web for any references to actual weight and deletes it, thats where the expensive servicing money goes. Spez bike weights is top secret for some reason...

Devon44 Posted January 31, 2017 Share ................but what is the weight of the bike???It varies with size. I ride a medium and when its race ready it is 10.4 with the swat box and RS1 fork- I have heard of lower weights with the new SID which is a bonus. jcza and nonky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
