Specialized S-Works Epic Carbon 29er 2012
Specialized Say:
The full-suspension,
carbon fibre, S-Works Epic 29 is the first 29er to win a World Cup event, and
the bike Mountain Bike Action magazine describes as the "best bike we've
ever ridden". One of two S-Works versions, this model is equipped with
Shimano's XTR component group.
