"The Specialized Epic is a bike that is easy to spot and easy to understand. If you were a mountain biker from the 90s, frozen in time, and brought back to the current... you'd see the Epic 9 and say, 'Well...that must be the top of the line Specialized full suspension race bike.'"
"The thing that works about the Epic being the same but fluid is that it's always changing toward what CX/marathon riders are looking for. Nearly every iteration forecasts the trends and nails it."
