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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRAME 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHOCKINGLY 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePUNCHING 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHAVE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE BIGGEST FLEX IS NO FLEX: The Epic World Cup sports the full suite of Roval Control SL components: 1,240-gram wheelset and 250-gram integrated cockpit (70mm x 780mm). Each boasting peerless light-weight, stiffness, and control on the World Cup today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bulletPoints_Wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullet_points\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bullet_item\"\u003eCreated 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bullet_item\"\u003eSRAM 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bullet_item\"\u003eA RockShox SID SL ULTIMATE Flight Attendant provides 110mm of active suspension to provide ultimate efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"bullet_item\"\u003eObscenely light 998 grams Roval World Cup wheels provide durability and superb ride quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrameset\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrame: S-Works FACT 12m Carbon, WCID suspension design, Progressive XC Race Geometry, Rider-First Engineered™, threaded BB, 12x148mm UDH compatible rear spacing, internal cable routing, 75mm of travel\u003cbr\u003eSWAT: SWAT EMT Cage-Mount Tool\u003cbr\u003eSeat Binder: Specialized Alloy 34.9, Titanium Bolt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFork: RockShox SID SL ULTIMATE Flight Attendant, Ride Dynamics developed 3 position, Debon Air, 15x110mm, 44mm offset, 110mm Travel\u003cbr\u003eRear Shock: RockShox-Specialized SIDLuxe WCID Ultimate, Ride Dynamics Developed, Independent negative spring, Rebound Adjust, 215x40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRear Brake: SRAM Motive Ultimate, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 160mm rotor\u003cbr\u003eFront Brake: SRAM Motive Ultimate, 4-piston caliper, hydraulic disc, 180mm rotor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChainrings: 34t\u003cbr\u003eShift Levers: SRAM AXS POD Ultimate Controller\u003cbr\u003eCassette: SRAM CS-1299, 12 speed, 10-52t\u003cbr\u003eBottom Bracket: SRAM DUB, BSA 73mm, Threaded\u003cbr\u003eChain: SRAM XX SL Eagle\u003cbr\u003eRear Derailleur: SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS\u003cbr\u003eCrankset: SRAM XX SL Eagle Power Meter Crankset, 170mm\/175mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheels \u0026amp; tires\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRear Wheel: Roval Control World Cup, Mini hooked carbon, 28.5mm inner width, tubeless ready, Roval Control World Cup hub, DT Swiss 180 internals, Roval Carbon spokes w\/ Ti end pieces\u003cbr\u003eFront Wheel: Roval Control World Cup, Mini hooked carbon, 28.5mm inner width, tubeless ready, Roval Control World Cup hub, DT Swiss ceramic bearings, Roval Carbon spokes w\/ Ti end pieces\u003cbr\u003eRear Tire: Specialized Air Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5\/T7 Compound, 29x2.35\u003cbr\u003eFront Tire: Specialized Fast Trak, Flex Lite Casing, T5\/T7 Compound, 29x2.35\u003cbr\u003eInner Tubes: Specialized TPU inner tube\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeatPost: RockShox Reverb AXS, 30.9mm, S: 125, M\/L:150, XL: 175mm\u003cbr\u003eHandlebars: Roval Control SL Integrated cockpit, 60mm\/70mm X- 12 degree integrated stem, 8-degree backsweep, 1 degree upsweep, 760mm wide\u003cbr\u003eSaddle: S-Works Power with Mirror\u003cbr\u003eGrips: Specialized Trail Grips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 9.25 kg (20 lb, 6.3 oz)\u003cbr\u003eWeight Size: MD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SPECIALIZED","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Carbon Cyan Blue \/ Metallic White Silver \/ S","offer_id":44238267252829,"sku":"93126-0002","price":18500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Carbon Cyan Blue \/ Metallic White Silver \/ M","offer_id":44238267285597,"sku":"93126-0003","price":18500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gloss Carbon Cyan Blue \/ Metallic White Silver \/ XL","offer_id":44238267318365,"sku":"93126-0005","price":18500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/3342\/7293\/files\/93126-00_EPIC-WC-SW-CARB-BLUPRL-METWHTSIL_HERO-PDP.webp?v=1772671766","url":"https:\/\/vchq.com.au\/products\/2026-specialized-s-works-epic-world-cup-sram-xx-sl-axs-rockshox-ultimate-flight-attendant","provider":"Valley Cycles HQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
