Bike Hub Features Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 The new Specialized Epic Evo has been given its own unique identity in the Epic range. Where the previous Epic Evo was a straightforward specification change, the new Epic now has its own rear triangle, suspension layout, and no Brain! These changes aim to create an Epic that is more capable and comfortable on the trails than the Brain version.Click here to view the article Mr. G 1
Knersboy Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I like this. 110/120mm travel, two bottles, threaded bb, no brain. Finally a decent replacement for the Camber. But where is the alloy version? GiantTjop and gummibear 2

They are being coy about the alloy frames. There is apparently something else related to the Epic coming later in the year which may or may not be it.

hansolo Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 It would be interesting to see how the new/next Camber/Stumpjumper ST compares to the Epic Evo. I like these new trail/XC bikes and think they are a better buy for the average Joe than a pure XC bike. Any chances of having a group test/comparison on all the options available? gummibear 1
Jakkals. Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Gentleman, at this price it makes sense to support local frame builders and get something custom. "especially if you aren't planning to cross the finish line first" Dan Dob, PhilipV, gemmerbal and 4 others 7
Myth Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Beautiful bike... but frack that's a lot of money for a bike. My 790 Adventure cost just slightly more gemmerbal and Hairy 2
MTBeer Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Those tyres... they hurt me eyes agreed. looks like a taxi Muttley, tux26 and MagicMTBMike 3

I like these new trail/XC bikes and think they are a better buy for the average Joe than a pure XC bike. Any chances of having a group test/comparison on all the options available? I wouldn't be surprised if they phase out the Stumpjumper ST. The Epic Evo is just as capable, is lighter, and pedals better. Hairy, hansolo and newbs 3
PhilipV Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 If I was to ride Epic now, the Epic Evo Como would be my bike of choice. But 80K ZAR for an SLX spec bike just makes me sad. So much so that I'll make a point of riding my SS a lot more just to remind myself that the brands have gone mad and that I don't have to buy in to the golfing mentality.
