2026 Specialized S-Works Epic World Cup SRAM XX SL AXS Flight Attendant Mountain Bike

The Fastest XC Race Bike on the Planet.

The Specialized S-Works Epic World Cup redefines what an XC race bike can be. Engineered for smooth to moderately technical World Cup courses, it delivers an unmatched blend of explosive efficiency, ultra-low weight, and precise control. As World Champion Christopher Blevins puts it, it offers everything you love about a hardtail, combined with the confidence and capability of full suspension.

WCID Suspension Concept – Hardtail Speed, Full Suspension Control

The Epic World Cup is built around a revolutionary WCID (World Cup Integrated Design) suspension system that delivers 75mm of rear travel with unparalleled pedaling efficiency. Designed from the ground up using four decades of off-road racing expertise, the WCID platform minimizes weight while maximizing speed, responsiveness, and traction on modern XC race courses.

RockShox Flight Attendant – Fully Automated Suspension

Equipped with RockShox Flight Attendant technology, the Epic World Cup automatically adjusts suspension modes in real time. The SID SL Ultimate Flight Attendant fork and SIDLux WCID Ultimate rear shock, both Ride Dynamics developed, constantly optimize efficiency and control, letting you focus entirely on power output and line choice.
