Fast & flat rowdy & technical punchy & hard—no matter the course the S-Works Epic with SRAM XX1 Eagle is the best tool to get you to the top of the podium. Its design is all-new & boy oh boy is it fast. Race courses have evolved over the past few years. They’re more technical steeper & simply more challenging to ride. But instead of quivering in our boots we saw this as an opportunity to make something special—something that both World Cup athletes & XC riders alike can instantly feel the benefit from. We looked at the sum of parts that make a bike handle well like the head angle reach stack chainstay length fork offset etc. & re-evaluated all of it. Increasing the reach made a bike that was more stable at speed & generally more comfortable to ride. Dropper posts? Yep those fit & not just a short-travel XC option but full-length droppers that fit in the 30.9mm seat tube. Head angle? We slacked that out but not without evaluating the overall handling package. It now lands on a custom offset 42mm fork that works with the slacker head angle in order to behave itself in tight corners & through switchbacks. Next comes the redesigned Brain technology Brain 2.0. The Brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension both its inefficiencies & benefits alike. & oh was it good. It won races & put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation & suspension development but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that by moving the Brain closer to the rear axle it would be in the most sensitive spot. & after countless hours with the Rock Shox team the new Brain became more than just a slight upgrade. Its totally new. Now it reacts seamlessly to bump forces it has much more consistent damping performance & finally it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This in turn improves oil paths & it creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market. The new Epic also gets a serious upgrade in the stiffness department. The Rider-First Engineered™ tubes place complex carbon pieces in all the right places which greatly increases stiffness in the front end for a vast improvement in ride quality & control. To go along with this each frame size has size-specific tubes that result in the stiffest best riding XC bike weve ever developed—no matter the frame size. And while stiffness Brain technology & geometry features are cool & all we know what you’re thinking What about weight? We’re glad you asked. With the goal of the new Epic to be the fastest XC mountain bike we’ve ever made weight was at the top of our priorities list. We started with an efficient frame layout & tube shapes that feature clean cable routing integrated channels through the shock extension straight tubes with less curves & optimized torsion profiles in every section. & if you’re curious this weight savings is equivalent to shedding a chainstay & shock extension from the previous Epic—nearly 350 grams. For this S-Works model we spared no expense with the build so it features a custom Rock Shox SID World Cup fork a 12-speed SRAM XX1 Eagle groupset powerful SRAM Level Ultimate brakes & h&-built featherweight Roval Control SL wheels. S-Works FACT 12m carbon fibre frame is the best combination of stiffness strength & light overall weight resulting in the utmost efficiency & speed. Meanwhile the new geometry Rock Shox Brain shock & 100mm of travel make the Epic the best handling fastest XC bike youve ever been on. Our custom Rock Shox SID WC fork with Brain features a full-carbon upper top-adjust Brain fade & a custom offset making it the perfect match to the new Epic. SRAM XX1 Eagle bits handle the shifting duties providing a wide range of useable gears that make climbing & descending equally doable.FRAMES-Works FACT 12m XC Geometry threaded BB 12x 148mm rear spacing internal cable routing 100mm of travel FORKRock Shox SID WC Brain 29 Top-Adjust Brain Fade Adjust Solo Air tapered carbon crown/steerer 15x 110mm Maxle Stealth thru-axle 100mm of travel 42mm offset REAR SHOCKRock Shox/ Specialized Micro Brain shock w/ Spike Valve AUTOSAG 51x 257mm INNER TUBES29x 1.75/2.4 60mm Presta valve FRONT TYREFast Trak GRIPTON compound 29x 2.3 60 TPI Aramid folding bead 2 Bliss Ready REAR TYREFast Trak GRIPTON compound 29x 2.1 60 TPI Aramid folding bead 2 Bliss Ready CRANKSETSRAM XX1 Eagle Boost™ 148 170/175mm crankarm 24mm spindle CHAINRINGSAlloy Eagle 32TBOTTOM BRACKETSRAM GXPSHIFT LEVERSSRAM XX1 Eagle trigger 12-speed REAR DERAILLEURSRAM XX1 Eagle™ 12-speed CASSETTESRAM 1295 Eagle 12-speed 10-50t CHAINSRAM XX1 Eagle 12-speed w/ Power Lock FRONT BRAKESRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc carbon lever titanium hardware organic pads 160/180mm rotor REAR BRAKESRAM Level Ultimate hydraulic disc carbon lever titanium hardware organic pads 160mm rotor HANDLEBARSS-Works Carbon Mini Rise 6-degree upsweep 8-degree backsweep 10mm rise 720mm 31.8mm GRIPSSpecialized Sip Grip half-waffle S/M: regular thickness L/XL: XL thickness STEMS-Works SL alloy titanium bolts 6-degree rise SADDLEBody Geometry S-Works Phenom carbon rails 143mm SEATPOSTS-Works FACT carbon 10mm setback 30.9mm SEAT BINDERSpecialized Alloy 34.9mm Ti bolt PEDALSSpecialized Platform 9/16 spindle ...

Helmets have long been plagued by an unspoken rule: Light weight ventilation aerodynamics—pick two theres your helmet. As you can tell by now though we dont play by these rules—or really any for that matter. Wed rather turn standards on their head & create products that nobody ever dreamed of. & you neednt look any further than the new S-Works Evade helmet for proof of this. Straight up its the fastest road helmet out there. Beginning with the aerodynamic development we basically lived in our Win Tunnel to create this Evade. Having our own wind tunnel allows us to develop our products with aero at the forefront of the design rather than merely testing them there. With this we carefully analyzed every aspect of helmet performance in the Win Tunnel & with real world testing to ensure that we left no stone unturned in the quest for performance. This makes for a helmet that has countless testing hours & years of development & ultimately this adds up to the fastest road helmet weve ever tested. We not only took grams out of the drag but we did it without sacrificing safety. In fact we switched the construction to favor our Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS that optimizes the foam type in different places. As far as ventilation is concerned free-flowing air through the helmet not only makes the helmet cooler than ever but it also decreases aerodynamic drag. Going h&-in-hand with this ventilation & aerodynamics were both optimized in the Win Tunnel together making for the best combination of aerodynamics & ventilation out there. Now the exterior vents & interior channels have been carefully considered to make sure that the helmet draws in the maximum amount of air through the helmet for extreme cooling. & the result? The new Evade is just as cool as a bare head with no helmet making it the coolest aero helmet on the market today. Through this work the Evade saves 50 seconds over 40km versus a traditional road helmet & roughly six seconds over the prior iteration of Evade. This means that its not only as cool as a bare head but also as fast. For road race helmets theres nothing that can match this performance. Last but most certainly not least a fast helmet is useless unless it fits correctly. With this in mind the new S-Works Evade has all the features youd expect from a top-level helmet like our Mindset Hair Port 2 fit system with micro-adjustments our soft webbing that wont stretch out & a new Gutter Action brow pad that manages sweat to keep it out of your eyes. & to top it off weve added a new magnetic buckle to the mix that makes buckling with one hand a breeze. > Through extensive Win Tunnel development the Evade is the fastest road helmet weve tested. > 4th Dimension Cooling System with deep internal channels large vents & aligned exhaust ports make it the best combination of aerodynamics & ventilation. > Patented Energy Optimized Multi-Density EPS construction helps to manage impact energy. > Patented Aramid-Reinforced Skeleton provides internal EPS support to help manage impact energy. > Ultra-light Mindset Hair Port II micro-dial fit system with height adjustability for the perfect fit. > Gutter Action brow pad design for increased comfort & sweat management. > Thin soft & lightweight 4X Dry Lite webbing won’t stretch out with sweat or water. > Tri-Fix web splitter for enhanced comfort & ease of strap adjustments. > Instrap webbing system for ultra-light construction & security. > Magnetic buckle is simple & secure. ...

YouÂ’ll be familiar with S-Works Evade helmet. ItÂ’s the one that keeps crossing the finishing line first (often attached to Peter SaganÂ’s head). It has the ultimate combination of advanced aerodynamics ultra-lightweight constructions & impressive ventilation. Whether youÂ’re on the road or in a time trial it will deliver amazing performance every time. As soon as youÂ’re out on the road the Evade gets down to business as a fast aerodynamic well ventilated helmet. The advanced aerodynamics have been proven to save as much as 46 seconds over 40km when compared to a standard road bike helmet. The Patented Aramid-Reinforced Skeleton provides internal support to the EPS foam. Essentially this is a framework that runs inside the EPS foam adding structure much like reinforcing rods used in concrete. This means that the helmet can be lighter with more ventilation yet the structural integrity is maintained. Mindset micro-dial fit system Â- this height adjustable fit system ensures a close comfortable fit on a multitude of head shapes & sizes.4th Dimension Cooling System Â- The large vents & deep internal channelling pull cooling air over the head before being cast out of the exhaust ports at the rear of the helmet.4X Dry Lite webbing Â- the lightweight straps are very thin & soft leading to great comfort & will not stretch. Tri-Fix web splitter Â- one of those ingeniously simple designs. The Tri-Fix eliminates fiddly strap adjustment around the ears. Complies with one or more of the following safety standards for bicycle helmets: CPSC SNELL B90A CE & AS/NZS. ...
