thats sad...

Same

My bike is 600$

I have fox 34!

It's the sad truth

František Smolík this guys don’t know about xc bike looks alike..

Klid Franto neni to sjezdak ani enduro prostě xc

Zamzam Par i think he will not use this in a race that build looks like more on adventure or like just having fun and not being competitive

for fun (also a fox 34 step cast is very much trail xc), sounds like they want a fun but fast hardtail, I run a 120mm fork on my xc bike and it's great

Considering the fact that I own the specialized epic expert and a stump jumper FSR trail and they each have their own purpose on the trail. I don’t understand why they’re turning a cross country race bike with the trails spec it’s basically a trail bike on a strict diet. Which a trail bike will do that duty so much better. But it just goes to show you that the confidence that this bike is built so well that it can be pushed to the limit of trail riding. When you watch a cross country race they do some pretty gnarly stuff they have to ride through

I was about to sell my Epic HT because it just seemed too skittish with a 100 fork and low stem height. Instead I put on a Fox 34 SC and some riser bars and the bike is completely transformed - way more confident and fun to ride. Is it faster? Maybe not. But even on race day (if those come back...lol), I might keep this configuration just because it's that much more satisfying to ride. Nothing wrong with a super light and super confident bike.

I agreeeeeee

Not everybody on a fancy bike is a dentist. I farm

Just most of them.

its a 34 step cast so it's like half a pound heavier than the 32 sc

Thats stepcast 34,(120mm travel) its still good for xc🙄🙄🙄

I like running short stems (35mm-50mm), but it can be really rider-specific. You’ll be happy if you mirror this build, it turned out super nice!

Definitely more convenient. Although, this customer isn’t a racer so they haven’t voiced any issues with the current setup. I’ll definitely mention it next time they come in. Thanks for commenting!

Creo que el 34 la convierte en una bici de XC un poco más capaz, a final de cuentas son como 238 gramos más entre uno y el otro.

Next time a customer comes in asking to build a top-of-the-line bike, I'll make sure to down-sell them into a used bike and subsequently get rid of most of my tools. Good call, buddy.

Vince Sanchez it’s a KS LEV Ci 27.2 x 120mm

Justin Velo is that just internally routed? Or there’s a external?

Vince Sanchez it’s internal.

Justin Velo okay thank you bro

I'd love to see the info backing the "carcinogenic", as the safety data sheet for DOT mentioned "non-carcinogenic" and only "irritative for skin and eyes".

Finland Apollo that’s interesting. Someone I work with who went to SRAM school told me this. Where can I find the msds?

I believe SRAM dot fluid polypropylene based not mineral based which allows it to have a much higher boiling point. So yes it is not safe to touch. You should be wearing gloves when handling hydraulic fluid anyways.

luisotube it’s a bump stop to protect the fork from damaging the frame in the case of a crash.

@@JustinVelo ah ok thanks

fernando waschburger It comes with the bike and only works with that bike

This is a plastic bumper that protects the down tube from the fork crowns. It comes with the bike. I don't think the 2020 model has this. Neither does the chisel for full suspension version of the epic.

22 lbs

ikr most likely its an trail xc

He also put on guide brakes.

Fox 34 Naaa, Sram Guide ya anytime.

Por que ?

@@cristoverdadpresente es una bici para competición, caña con una inclinación más agresiva y dirección derecha.

No creo que haya sido un equivocación, esto no está hecho para ganar (ni siquiera correr en) una carrera de XC. Esto es un ‘experimento’ que trata de convertir una bici de competición en en una Trail, All Mountain light, o algo así. Una bici ligera y divertida, con la que luego puedas pasarte un poco (o todo lo que te atrevas), bajando. En la reseña del principio dice que le ha quitado un grado al tubo de la dirección con el aumento de recorrido de la horquilla. Espero que le haya salido bien xq es un experimento muy caro.... 😅 P.D. Yo estoy pensando en algo parecido, pero con el cuadro de otra marca, y en aluminio. Mi presupuesto es mucho más modesto...

5.000 subscriptions with no videos Research the Epic Evo.

@@JustinVelo this is definitely not an evo

​@@subscriptionswithnovideos 120mm Fork (check) Dropper Seatpost (check) Wide Handlebars (check) Larger 2.2/2.35 Tires (check) Those are literally the exact specs that differentiate and standard Epic and and Epic Evo. Here's a direct quote from Specialized explaining what makes the Evo different: "You're going to find a fork with 120mm of travel, a dropper post, wider bars, and meatier tires, so you'll get some much-needed control when you’re redlining it..." But you're right, definitely not an Evo.

Brad Griffith try about 10000-11000 buddy

@@dirtroadie4642 in that case, I want an engine in it and leather seats 🤣

$1000 won't even get you those wheels.

Jealous much?

lol u salty?

Have you checked out the Epic Evo lineup for 2019 models? All have a120mm fork out of the box. The idea is to bridge the gap between traditional XC geometry and trail geometry. This is simply the hardtail version of the same bike. By the way, the S-Works Epic Evo is stocked with a Fox 34.

@@JustinVelo You're right, anyway I do not like what the bicycle looks like. Greetings from Colombia. 😁👍

Unless you are chasing world cup wins (and even then for some people) a 120 fork is just as fast as a 100 and in most cases, if not all, a lot more capable.

Buy ur own

@anonymous really 😱

@anonymous oh thank you 😊😊😊😊😊 Send me I'll wait 😀

Yes, because enduro riders spec their bikes with 120mm forks. Good call.

@@JustinVelo who said anything about forks?

@@malayneum Not sure what the criticism is then. The bike was intentionally built as a gap filler between XC and Trail, much like the stock Specialized Epic Evo. This seems difficult for people to wrap their heads around, but not every rider is seeking the exact same, restrictions apply bicycle.

Why? It`s normal S-works, isn`t expensive...Eagle, Enve, no tuning...normal stuff.

you're a lousy doctor

frog ilicious how is that being lousy

Using the brakes can be just as bad...
