2020 EPIC EXPERT CARBON EVO 29 BLK/DOVGR – M

Ripping around between the tape is one way to worship at the altar of speed, but for all the other long, fast rides or marathon races on technical terrain, there’s our all-new Epic Expert EVO.A MORE EPIC KIND OF EPICDropper posts and slightly longer forks may seem like overkill on an XC bike. We beg to differ. Epic EVOs are not only fast off the start line, they’re even better suited to masochistically long rides, multi-day stage races, and fast backcountry missions.HARDTAIL EFFICIENT.
