The New Cutting Edge This is the ultimate XC race bike. Ground-breaking suspension, aggressive geometry, and feathery weight let you go full gas from the gun. Where it thrives Between the tape What it's built for Speed, Efficiency, and Endurance Highlights: - Ultralight Hi-MOD carbon FlexPivot frame / Lefty Ocho Carbon fork / Integrated Cannondale App connectivity - SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS wireless 12-speed group / Level Ultimate disc brakes - HollowGram 27 carbon tubeless-ready wheels / Stash onboard repair kit Technology: Suspension for speed - The most advanced suspension ever made for XC. While others sacrifice performance to save weight, our patented FlexPivot suspension delivers both. Incredibly light, with unreal grip, acceleration, and control, it lets you go flat-out everywhere. More speed. More fun. Degrees of difference - Scalpel’s progressive geometry has evolved even further – we have a full degree and a half slacker headtube angle, a one-degree steeper seat tube angle – creating an XC bike that’s more aggressive, lightning-fast, fun, and stable everywhere, from the World Cup to your local loop. Stiff. Light. Fast. - At just over 1900 grams, complete with shock, the new Scalpel frame is one of the lightest full-suspension MTB frames on the market. Incredible suspension, impeccable handling, and feathery weight – it’s a recipe for victory. The World's Best XC Fork - Lefty Ocho is simply the most advanced, smoothest, most precise-handling ultralight fork ever made. Its one-of-a-kind design lets you float through the chop and slice through the chunder like nothing else.

THINK FASTEST: The Epic World Cup is the fastest XC race bike in the world on smooth to moderately technical courses thanks to its unmatched combination of efficiency, control, and light-weight. World Champ Christopher Blevins said it best, “This thing gives me everything I could want from a hardtail, plus the control and capability of full suspension.” All it took to create this speed machine was a totally integrated development approach, inventing a radical new shock, and four decades of off-road winning experience. FRAME OF REFERENCE: To deliver maximum speed through ruthlessly efficient power transfer and precision handling, our engineering team set and achieved new standards in torsional rigidity and BB stiffness. This feat required an integrated development approach that merged a structurally superior double diamond layout with its shock cradled inside the top-tube, and finished off with the most sophisticated composite layup in Specialized history. SHOCKINGLY FAST: The Specialized Ride Dynamics team conceived of and invented a revolutionary shock technology for the Epic World Cup that gives the rider the efficiency and snappy response of a hardtail PLUS the control, capability, and momentum-carrying of full suspension—all with a simple setup. Co-developed with RockShox, the SID Deluxe WCID shock utilizes a unique independently adjustable positive and negative air springs to deliver the sought-after hardtail “snap”, combined with terrain-devouring forgiveness, and the ability to easily personalize set-up for a specific course or tune for rider preference and feel. Set it firm and it rides like a hardtail or open it up and you have a chunk-squashing ripper. But you aren't just limited “open and closed,” the simple nature of its setup allows the rider to set on a spectrum of firm to soft. PUNCHING ABOVE ITS CATEGORY: The Epic World Cup’s 75mm of rear travel delivers control and capability of a much longer travel bike. Because it’s designed to be ridden at or close to topped-out, it yields the same positive travel as a 100mm travel bike set up with 25% sag. To further optimize suspension performance, the Specialized Ride Dynamics team tuned the spring-rate to be relatively flat through the mid-stroke to handle the majority of bump forces like a longer travel bike. Due to its large size, the custom Mega Jounce Bumper is an “industry first” and plays a crucial role in smoothly managing bottom-out on the biggest impacts. HAVE WE LOST OUR MINDS? The groundbreaking SIDLuxe WCID shock provides a unique blend of support and compliance in the rear, while the RockShox SID SL with 3-Position Race Day 2 damper borrows the all-new Epic 8s “Magic Middle” tune, providing support under pedaling and 110mm of bump-muting, active suspension in the rough to provide ultimate efficiency. THE WEIGHT IS OVER: With a frame weight of just 1,765 grams (painted with shock and all hardware), the Epic World Cup edges out the lightest of competitors. This translates to faster acceleration, more efficiently climbing, and more agile handling. And all of that adds up to speed. We achieved the featherweight and monster stiffness of the Epic WC by applying what we learned in the development of our Aethos, the lightest production road frame ever made, specifically the advanced composite layup and tube shapes. THE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX: The Epic World Cup sports the full suite of Roval Control SL components: 1,240-gram wheelset, 180-gram seat post, and 250-gram integrated cockpit (70mm x 780mm). Each boasting peerless light-weight, stiffness, and control on the World Cup today. The all-new Epic World Cup frame features Ride Dynamics Developed suspension technology and 75mm of optimized rear wheel travel. Thanks to its shock technology, Epic World Cup delivers unmatched pedal efficiency and is ready for the roughest descents you can throw at it–no lockout switches required. SRAM XX SL transmission builds on what top riders need in shifting performance and robustness, making it perfectly matched for the brutal demands of off-road racing. A RockShox SID SL with 3-Position Race Day 2 damper provides support under pedaling and 110mm of active suspension to provide ultimate efficiency. Created specifically to match the increased capabilities of the Epic World Cup, the Roval Control SL rim introduces a completely new offset rim profile that features a 29mm internal width that not only increases strength and reduces weight, but also improves pinch-flat resistance by 22-percent.

The Enduro Pro has always packed a serious punch, and it's never been so true. You get 170 millimeters of the most capable downhill performance that gains elevation with surprising ease. Premium RockShox suspension, SRAM Maven Silver 4-piston brakes, SRAM Eagle XO T-TYPE AXS Transmission, and a Roval Traverse HD i9 wheelset round it out. INCREDIBLY CAPABLE: If the Enduro looks like its sibling, the Demo, it’s because they share plenty of downhill DNA. A more rearward axle path reduces wheel hang-up on big impacts. A low- and forward-positioned shock keeps it planted and confident-feeling at high speeds. Balanced chassis stiffness helps the front end steer precisely and keeps the rear end tracking like it’s on rails. Add it all up, and you have a bike that laughs in the face of the steepest, rockiest trails. ASTONISHINGLY FAST—UP AND DOWN THE TRAIL: Stomp on the pedals, and the new Enduro accelerates far quicker than you'd expect possible from a downhill bruiser. To start, we increased anti-squat, so the suspension better resists pedal bob. Then, to further its efficiency, we re-directed the angle of the chainstay and upper shock linkages for a much more efficient design. The end result? Less bobbing, more speed. FAST STARTS WITH FIT: Fast and fit aren't mutually exclusive, which is why the progressive geometry of the Enduro has been designed for going up and down. To start, seat tubes and stack heights don’t grow massively between sizes, meaning you can now pick a frame size based on both your height and your riding style. Pair this sizing style with a slacker head angle, longer reach, and steeper seat tube across the line, and you’re left with a quicker and more capable steed, no matter the size. MORE RELENTLESS THAN YOU: Our full suspension bikes are built to be relentless, designed to endure years of hard riding and backed by the best support and policies to keep you on the trail. Our unbeatable lifetime, no-questions-asked replacement of suspension pivot bearings to the original owner is just one way we've got you covered.
