I’ve modernized this beauty little Specialized Epic from 2009-ish that has hardly been ridden.
Would have been $4000 - $5000 new.
Now with new Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and a Deore 1 × 10 drive chain.
Bike would suit as an all round recreational mountain bike for a rider height 5.0 to 5.7.
Perfect for rolling easily along the shared paths, rail trails or take it off road on green and blue trails.
Currently has a womens saddle on but can be swapped to unisex.
From the Specialized website;
EXPERIENCE: COMPETITIVE XC Racing is one thing, winning is quite another. The only race bike with a Brain, the 100mm travel Epic knows the fastest way to the finish line. The Epic's fully active, fully independent FSR rear suspension is now turbo charged with 100 millimeters of rear travel, sprung by our exclusive Brain shock that automatically adjusts the suspension from firmly efficient in smooth terrain to fully active in the rough stuff. The new Brain Fade feature allows any rider to dial-in a custom balance of efficiency and compliance. Learn about the Brain in our Tech Lab.
